Dahua has a new water proof junction box for the turrets, even better than the PFA137 and PFA139 junction boxes ( which while very nice were not water proof [*] )

You have to use desktop mode on your mobile browser for all Dahua links. At least that is the case for me.

What really gripes me on all of their junction boxes is that there are only 1 to 2 ports. There should be 4 so you can run other wiring through to go where you need them (up, down, left, right).

I agree, I put three cameras out toward the road - one looking up the road, one down and one looking across the road. I would be nice to have at least 3 hubs.

I'm looking at the Dauha page now. So the face shown is a removable lid and the camera mounts to that?

What would I need to connect conduit to that? Can I use PVC or do I need to learn how to bend metal pipe?

Hi Mr_D,

Yes, you mount the camera on the lid, mount the lid to the body of the junction box.

You can use 1/2" EMT conduit, and they do sell pre-bent sections, as well as various sections which you can use if you do not want to get into bending EMT conduit.

Also, you can mount this box on the location where you cat6/5e cable comes out of the wall without having to use conduit. ( this is how I did it, although that did require me to do some selective drywall cuts - looks good now that I have plastered, sanded, and painted, can't tell where I cut into the wall )

Is the main advantage of the junction box to let me punch a smaller hole in the side of house, just big enough for the Ethernet, and leave the bulky connector in the box?

How do the 137/139 boxes let water in? I see they don't have a lid like the new one. Does the camera's base not fit the opening properly?

Q: Is the main advantage of the junction box to let me punch a smaller hole in the side of house, just big enough for the Ethernet, and leave the bulky connector in the box?
A: Yes, and to maintain the appropriate IP66/67 rating when properly installed.

The PFA 137/139 when fitted with a Turret still have a gap from the need to be able to move the "eyeball" in the turret within the turret's shell. Thus there is a possibility of water ingress into the junction box - so the connection while well protected is not as well protected.

Looks like Dahua is following @TechBill here, as he made a cover for the junction box earlier this year!
