§ 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.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-1280ZJ-DM8

Genuine Hikvision fit

This is the factory DS-1280ZJ-DM8 (CB130T), designed by Hikvision for the 2CD23x3/23x5 turret and dome bodies, so the camera base sits flush and the screw pattern lines up the first time.

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

01

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.

02

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.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-1280ZJ-DM8

Q.01

Which cameras does the DS-1280ZJ-DM8 fit?
Hikvision lists this box (factory code CB130T) for the 2CD23x3 and 2CD23x5 turret and dome series, such as the DS-2CD2347G2, DS-2CD2355 and DS-2CD2343. Cameras change over generations, so always check the mounting accessory line on your specific camera's datasheet before ordering.
Q.02

Do I actually need a junction box for my turret camera?
Not always, but it helps. The DS-1280ZJ-DM8 gives you a sealed cavity to coil and protect the cable and connector behind the camera rather than leaving the join exposed. It is most worthwhile outdoors, on uneven surfaces, and where you want a clean cable entry.
Q.03

Is the DS-1280ZJ-DM8 weatherproof outdoors?
It is aluminium alloy with a sprayed finish and is rated for indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor mounts, seal the cable entry with the rubber grommet and run a bead of outdoor-grade silicone where the base meets the wall so wind-driven rain cannot get behind it.
Q.04

What are the dimensions and weight?
It measures Ø126.7 mm by 35 mm and weighs about 210 g. Hikvision states a maximum load of 4.5 kg for boxes in this family, which is well above the weight of any compatible turret or dome camera.
Q.05

Is the camera included?
No. This is the junction box only. It is a mounting accessory you buy alongside the camera it suits.
Q.06

Does it come in black as well as white?
The standard finish is Hikvision white. Hikvision also makes a black version (DS-1280ZJ-DM8 BLACK / CB130TB) for installs where a darker box blends in better under eaves.
Q.07

How does this differ from the DS-1260ZJ junction box?
They suit different camera families. The DS-1280ZJ-DM8 (CB130T) is for 2CD23x3/23x5 turret and dome cameras, while the DS-1260ZJ (CB130) is for 2CD26x2 and 2Tx5 bullet cameras. Match the box to the camera series you are installing.
