What kind of junction box to use for outdoor?

Recommended Posts

I am using a QH8003B bullet camera. What kind of junction box should I use for it to conceal the connections and the cable coming out of the wall?

 

Thank you very much.

I'd suggest something like this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bell-1-Gang-5-Hole-Non-Metallic-Round-Electrical-Box-PRB57550WH/202284522 and this to cover http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bell-1-Gang-Round-Blank-Plastic-Cover-White-PBC300WH/204155109?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-204155109-_-N. They come in other colours too.

Could I attached the camera onto the blank cover?

Yes, that's the idea. Just carefully drill the needed holes. Search around on the net or in store, there might be a stronger one (It's hard to tell how thick/strong that one is form the photo). It should be ok, cameras don't have much weight, unless a fat bird decides to nest on top of it. Almost any box cover can be used. If the camera doesn't have a moisture cap of the cable (or if you can't use it) electrical tape is perfect.

 

Here's another box, with a cover too. And it's very strong. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Carlon-15-15-cu-in-Type-X-Round-Conduit-Body-E970CDE-CTN/100404094?N=5yc1vZbohnZ1z0usncZ1z116nv

This cover is much better than the first one I linked to above. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Carlon-4-in-Round-Blank-Electrical-Cover-10-per-Case-E365CW-10R/202077436?MERCH=REC-_-PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-100404094-_-202077436-_-N

Thank you very much. You have been very helpful.

Do you know what kind of conduit is compatible with that junction box?
