Smart outdoor security cameras in SA?

Those of you using Reolink bullet cameras. For exterior mounting are you just fastening directly to the concrete/brink wall, or are you using junction boxes?

I have a junction box on my two, but I had the holes drilled through the wall for the POE cable so I needed something to wrap all the cables in.
I have another two mounted on a pole and those I hide the cables inside the pole.
I prefer the junction boxes as I can hide all those reolink cables. If they connected with a single cable into the back of the camera I would probably do away with the boxes
 
Also boxes you can work with and change if you get new cameras with different mounting patterns
I've regretted directly mounting the ones I did initially

Are you using the ones from Reolink or are there local options available?

Oh I use whatever shitboxes I can find as needed,normal square wallboxes with or without wire cutouts

I have official reolink ones. I bought them when I got the cameras. Though I'm sure you can find another solution. They were expensive and if I put more up I'm gonna try find a local box to mount them to

I'm using junction boxes. Got cheap ones at Builders.

Did you use the Reolink boxes? I see they are $39 each which is almost what a camera costs. Is there a generic box locally available?

Edit: nevermind, saw all the other replies, thanks.
 
Try the 100x100x57 pvc waterproof boxes.

The 100x100x40 was too small if I recall correctly (IIRC).


I paid about R40. But they have a variety of junction boxes.

Then you screw the camera mount into the plastic lid of the box?
