§ 01Overview
What the DS-1280ZJ-DM8 is
The Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM8 is a camera junction box (Hikvision factory code CB130T) for the 2CD23x3 and 2CD23x5 turret and dome range. It lifts the camera off the surface and creates a protected cavity for the network cable, connector and any pigtail, so the join is hidden and shielded rather than exposed on the wall.
It is machined from aluminium alloy with a sprayed Hikvision-white finish and measures Ø126.7 mm by 35 mm at about 210 g. The bottom waterproof cover and side gland give you a choice of cable entry, which makes it easy to bring the cable up through a wall or along surface conduit.
Note: earlier copy listed this box for 21xx vandal domes. Hikvision's own bracket cross-reference lists the DS-1280ZJ-DM8 / CB130T against the 2CD23x3(5) range, so always confirm against your camera's mounting datasheet before ordering.
§ 02Engineering
DS-1280ZJ-DM8 specifications
- Fits Hikvision 2CD23x3 / 2CD23x5 turret and dome cameras
- Aluminium alloy body with surface spray treatment for corrosion resistance
- Ø126.7 mm x 35 mm, approx. 210 g
- Side and base cable entries for surface conduit or through-wall runs
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor mounting when the cable entry is sealed
§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-1280ZJ-DM8
Protects the connection
The sealed aluminium cavity keeps the network cable, RJ45 and any pigtail out of the weather and out of sight, which is where most water ingress and cable faults start on outdoor cameras.
Neater, more professional finish
Cable enters through the base or side gland instead of a hole in the wall behind the camera, giving a clean, installer-grade result.
Built to last outdoors
Aluminium alloy with a sprayed finish resists corrosion in Australian coastal and exposed conditions far better than plastic alternatives.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Outdoor turret installs
Mount a 2CD23x3/23x5 turret under an eave or on a wall with the cable join sealed inside the box, away from rain and UV.
Surface conduit runs
Where cable runs in external conduit, the side gland lets you bring conduit straight into the box for a tidy, code-friendly finish.
Rough or uneven surfaces
On brick, render or timber the box gives a flat, solid mounting face and hides any gap between the camera base and the wall.
Retrofit and tidy-ups
Replacing an older camera and want to hide an existing oversized cable hole behind the new turret.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-1280ZJ-DM8 junction box with bottom waterproof cover and side gland, plus mounting screws. The camera and network cable are not included.
Installation requirements
Fix the box to a flat wall or ceiling that can support at least three times the combined weight of the box and camera. Bring the network cable in through the base or side gland, seal the entry with the rubber grommet for outdoor use, then mount the camera onto the box. Add a bead of outdoor silicone around the base on exposed walls.
