01

Pick the spot

Choose a wall or pole near the cameras, sheltered if you can, with the cable entries facing down or to the side so water runs off.

02

Fix the box

Mark the slotted fixing holes on the back, drill, and fix the box with screws and plugs rated for the surface and the load.

03

Fit and wire the parts

Mount the switch or power supply inside and bring the cables in through the G1/2 entries with glands. Mains work is for a licensed electrician.

04

Seal and close

Check every entry is sealed and test the cameras, then close the lid firmly and fasten it before you leave the site.

Inside

Your switch or power supply

Send us the model of the PoE switch or power supply you plan to use and we'll check it fits inside before you order.

UV-stable cable for the runs to the cameras, brought in through glands in the G1/2 entries.

What is the VSBKTA6401S for?

It is an IP66 outdoor box for power and network parts at the camera end of a run. VIP Vision calls it an outdoor power/comms box that supports wall and pole mounting.

Will my PoE switch fit inside?

Confirm with us first. VIP Vision publishes the outside size, 297.2 × 248 × 130.7 mm, but not the inside dimensions, so send us the switch model and we'll check.

Is a switch or power supply included?

No. It is an empty enclosure. The switch, power supply and any cable glands are separate.

Is it weatherproof?

Yes. VIP Vision rates it IP66, for −40 °C to 60 °C and up to 90% relative humidity.

How big is it?

297.2 × 248.0 × 130.7 mm on VIP Vision's drawing (297 × 248 × 131 mm in the spec table), and it weighs 3.33 kg.

How do the cables get in?

Through five G1/2 entries on one side, shown on VIP Vision's drawing. Use a gland or seal on each entry you use.

Can it go on a pole?

VIP Vision says it supports wall and pole mounting, but it does not list the pole hardware. Tell us the pole size and we'll confirm what to use.

Can I mount a camera on it?

VIP Vision says it is ideal for mounting cameras and rates it for an 8 kg load, but gives no fit list. Tell us the camera model and we'll confirm the fit.

What is it made of?

Aluminium, according to VIP Vision's spec table. It is finished in white.

What is the difference from the VSBKTA6400S?

They are the same size. The VSBKTA6400S has 12 M6 holes and a grommet on the front to carry a PTZ wall mount; the VSBKTA6401S has a plain hinged lid.

Can I wire mains power into it myself?

No. Any mains wiring, power point or circuit breaker work must be done by a licensed electrician.

Does it come with cable glands?

VIP Vision's sheet does not list any included parts. Plan to fit a gland or seal on each G1/2 entry you use, and ask us if you need help choosing them.
