Round mounting box that has two openings for conduit?

[blake]

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?

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.

The turret base is bigger than the bullet base.

My apologies for even mentioning it.

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 ?

As i not have english for my mother language, a image will be better

For the turret cams you need a nice round box to match the profile or it won't look good.

My only other option is to use conduit tee's, but then I would need to add tamper proof screws to the covers.

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.

I'll just have to beak out the titanium drill bits and a step bit and make my own 3/4" extra hole.

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..

I have a box here with me. I don't need to thread the new hole. The 3/4" emt connector is threaded on one side for the locknut. Their won't be anyone yanking on it and I'll add some silicone to ensure its water tight.
