I went yesterday and looked at a potential 4 camera job. The Hik turret mounting boxes that I normally use one has one opening on it for conduit. I need mounting boxes that have two openings so that I can have conduit coming in and out to continue on to next camera. Have you guys used any other boxes that fit the turret cams that have more holes for conduit connectors?
Round mounting box that has two openings for conduit?

I used one in my install that I got from Home Depot. I had to drill customize holes in the cover for the camera mount and used a bolt and nut to secure the camera to the cover.

No reason to apologize you didn't know. If I where mounting bullet cams then yes the standard round metal boxes would work. My customers prefer the look of the turret cams. Now I just gotta find a box that has more than one hole to connect conduit to.
I did not get my turret box yet, but the normal IP65 distribution boxes we have here come with threaded insertable connectors (3/4 "or 5/8")
could you not drill a hole in the turret box, make the same threaded profile, and use an extra connector that way ?

I mean using the connector from such a ip65 distribution box only.
take original hikvision turrent box, drill the needed hole, tap thread i the hole, and mount the extra connector and perhaps seal it extra off. It will not 100% match the original, but perhaps looks good enough.

Might be hard to get a threaded hole in the round side.
if you look at this youtube video the original hole is not just made in the round outside, but has some extra material there..
