CAMLOCKbox

Need to cut away part of steel box to access camera controls and SD card

Posted by BGW on 20th Mar 2021

I have purchased three of these boxes in recent years, and they work well, except for one problem:

Once the front cover of the CamLock security box is removed or lifted out of the way, it is still impossible to open the door of the Browning camera to access its screen, control buttons, and SD card, if it is also anchored by Python cable to the rear of the security box.

One must remove the Python cable lock anchoring the camera to the rear of the security Box so that the camera can be pulled out enough to open the camera's door to access the camera controls, screen, and SD card.

In my case, I needed to use an angle grinder with a thin, steel-cutting disc, hacksaw, and file to carve away enough of the main steel security box so that the door of the camera could open without un-anchoring it from the Python cable threaded through the back of the security box.

Photos available of the necessary surgery required on this security box, upon request from CamLockBox.

Except for this extra customizing work, the box works just fine.
