Annke NC800 turret junction box

[strasharo]

Hello. Can someone, please, recommend a junction box which fits the Annke NC800 turret version?


Measuring on my own I purchased HIKVISION: DS-1280ZJ-DM21, which fits in diameter but the screw holes don't align.
Then I went ahead and asked Annke support which junction box does fit and they suggested getting the Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-PT6 instead. however that one appears to be slightly more narrow than the camera and if you align one of the screw holes it's impossible to align the other two:
I sent the photos to Annke support again and they responded with this:


So now I'm stuck with two incorrect junction boxes and wondering what to get next.

And the response from Annke just arrived:



Looking forward to your suggestions, thank you.

In case someone needs a workaround, the internal 4 screws on DS-1280ZJ-DM21 align with the ones on the camera, so you can mount it on that one, the 3 external ones don't match but it's still being held in place.

Sounds like somebody at Annke dropped the ball big time, probably rushing a product to market...or couldn't stop texting their romantic interest long enough to do their @#$% job.

I asked them if they plan to release a junction box anytime soon and here's what I got back:
