Please remove junction box need

[s.lerouzes_46498539735]

Hi,

I am a professional installer of CCTV cameras. I am really happy with the reolink camera quality. But, yes there is a but: the need for the junction box is really annoying. So, please find a solution for us to avoid it. Here are 3 solutions that seem realistic :

1. by design you replace the cable with a standard RJ45 inside the camera, as it was in the past for most of the brands. Then it is sealed in the camera enclosure itself.
2. by design, you add a little additional space in the enclosure for us to roll the cable inside.
3. you put a longer cable (2m long) so we can really pass it through the wall. The current length is or too big to hide, or too short to be able to do something with it on the other side of the wall. Not to mention that with a longer cable, we could (as professionals) cut the connector, pass the cable through the wall, and then put a new connector.

Here are some real life solutions.But please, do something !

Best regards.

Steph.

@s-lerouzes_46498539735 As a customer too, I do agree with your proposals.

@joseph_1979 I'm OK with the cable whip. Reolink is not Axis and when others try to add the network connection in the camera it often creates other issues. Axis does it well, but when Hikvision tried it, it was rather painful to deal with.

What I would like to see happen is better quality junction boxes. Reolink charges a lot for junction boxes that aren't even close to the quality of Hikvision, Uniview, and Dahua. Uniview is below Hikvision and Dahua for junction boxes, but they are better than Reolink. 3/4" KO should be standard on all junction boxes, not 1/2", M20, or M22. I just installed a few cameras on a recent install and I had to use geneic wall mount brackets because I didn't like the Reolink wall mount for the Reolink Duo 3V PoE. The one I used and the Reolink branded mount didn't have conduit KOs though or a way to mount them to a standard electrical box. However, but that time, the mount would stick out too far.

I would use the turret cameras over domes, but I don't like the friction fit. I would rather have a set screw like Uniview camera have for their turrets.

The reason I chose Reolink for smaller installs is because the image is good and the software is better than Dahua/Hikvision. The app is easy to use. The one downside is needing to pull my laptop out because the NVR always seems to have outdated firmware that won't detect the latest available.
