Wall mount Dahua turrent with Junction box
- Thread starter Gren
- Start date
It is in 3 parts that are independent of one another, so you could move it to the top and rotate the other 2.
Which model is that - most of them have the LEDs on the bottom.

Also If the camera has a external SD card slot cover or speaker/ mic holes it should be pointing down. Since your camera is exposed to rain from the looks of it.
This should be better, only the logo is upside down. There is small hole below the black metal pallet to release the body. I can put the mount ring the other way around on the junction box so the release pallet and the logo gets on top but then i'm afraid there wil be rain comming in through the hole.

You can reorient the base plate of the camera so that the logo faces in the correct orientation. Its the worst design decision Dahua ever made. There are multiple thread holes on that junction box cover; that junction box looks like a PFA130E model

For that, I would put clear silicone sealant in that area. But quite frankly, I am not surprised that Dahua did not pay attention to the small details. I don't see a way to remove the Dahua logo unless you put a piece of black electrical tape over it. I do agree that the "nib" sticking out should be pointed downward to promote water egress and not water ingress.
I prefer to use the respective wall mount brackets whenever possible

That should work as well, make sure it is the correct model number mount as there are multiple versions of this wall mount bracket which work with specific Dahua models. The drill out pattern is different in each model unless you are okay with tapping out your own threads.
I'd orient the tab down and put a piece of electrical tape over the logo to hide that it's upside-down. That said, water can intrude all along that rim any way, maybe not as much as it would if that tab faced up but that ring-to-box junction is not water-tight any way. all the water must do it overcome some surface tension (viscosity).

I've learned not the overdo with it clear silicone either; I almost had water running back inside the junction box because the weep hole was plugged on the base of the camera, lol
It won't hurt to drill a couple of 3/16" holes on the bottom of the junction box to make sure water exits
In my experience I've never known a "weephole" in the bottom to be of any real benefit as far as keeping a junction box dry....if there's no other entrance to the box offering positive atmospheric pressure into the box to literally push accumulated water out of that weephole then the hole would have to be large enough to overcome the surface tension of the water.....as much as 1/4" in diameter.....and by then it would be big enough to allow bugs, bees and wasps into the box.
And as usual, YMMV......

May be add another hole for a breather hose/pipe going into the junction box. You see them in live axle differential or even in EV battery pack.In my experience I've never known a "weephole" in the bottom to be of any real benefit as far as keeping a junction box dry....if there's no other entrance to the box offering positive atmospheric pressure into the box to literally push accumulated water out of that weephole then the hole would have to be large enough to overcome the surface tension of the water.....as much as 1/4" in diameter.....and by then it would be big enough to allow bugs, bees and wasps into the box.
