mounting a camera inside a junction box

[Phil Dohn]

I need some suggestions, the system I'm working on was installed 20 years ago, I'm running all new cat6 lines and 8mp cameras. They had originally installed a doorbell camera inside a standard sized junction box in the wall with a one way piece of tinted Plexiglas as the cover, this system has worked perfectly but it's time to upgrade to a 8mp ip camera, do any of you know of a camera that would fit in the box or have you ever heard of this type of setup before?

Remember that 8mp will generally result in poor low light performance. You cannot have a camera behind plexiglass unless you dont intend to use IR and even then, the image will suffer. Most cameras will be large enough to cover the box or simply replace it with a door bell camera.
