Installing over existing junction box...

[omyliver]

Bought a new construction and when they pre-wired the home for security cameras, they enclosed the network cables in junction boxes. I've been searching for something that could attach to it so that the camera can go over the box. Trying to achieve a clean install.

Does such a thing exist? Or is there some way else I am supposed to go about mounting these?

Thanks for the help! You all rock!

What kind of cameras are you looking to install? Post some pics of the boxes

I was thinking of getting this set from Costco and attached a photo of the junction box.

Thanks!

Read the wiki and cliff notes before you purchase any cameras. Do it once and do it right! You can also remove those covers and install actual camera junction boxes over the opening in place of just the cover, or just mount the camera over the opening itself.

You're going to need an adapter to get any cam to fit that 2" x 3" box.
Take a look at @aristobrat 's review of the PFA200G Gang Box Adapter
You can purchase from Andy ( @EMPIRETECANDY ) of Empire Technology here.

BTW, @@MakeItRain used one here and caulked around the adapter which is a great idea as well to further protect the pigtail.
I suggest turrets over bullets, as all bugs love IR LED's around the lens.

Wow, why would anyone stuff wires like that, lol that's a big hole. Though, it will be easy to fish wires now. @TonyR 's advice is spot-on. Glad that Dahua thought this through.
