New camera install query - gap at base of my turret camera?

[Moley8]

Hi i may have made a booboo hoping for a once over on my first camera install.
Camera is DS-2CD2347G1-LU 4MP with Hikvision DM21 junction box.
Cat 6 cable from rear of JB and pigtail within the JB.
Does something go in this gap as in a plastic plug of some sort and if so does the camera need to be removed to fit it or locate it?
Thanks for any help.

Hi @Moley8

Yes, there should be a small rubber bung that goes in that gap on the turret's base.

It is quite common that the bung pops out when you are first handling the camera, check the packaging and the area where you first opened the camera to see if you can find it.

If you can't find it you'll need to fill/cover the gap with something else like a weather-proof sealant or water-proof self-amalgamating tape.

Thanks Dan, thought that appreciated. Found the rubber bung in the undergrowth and will pop in. Thanks again
