Need an unusual junction box

Just had delivery of 2 of the new eufy E340 24/7 flood light cameras with zoom lense, went to install in place of my old eufy flood light cams only to find the design does not include a junction box like the old version.
I need a junction box which has to be round and has to have holes to attach the camera to it 3.5 inches apart, it also has to have an outer ring over 4 inches in diameter to press into the foam on the rear of the backing plate to make it waterproof.
Ive attached images from the eufy install guide which is using an American junction box which they design the cameras to fit.
Every one of their previous floodlight camera models included a junction box in the eu/uk models because of this.
appreciate if anyone knows where i could get one ?

Thanks, Mark

    Search for a CCTV junction box.

    Random example - actually that's a poor example, it doesn't appear to be waterproof.

    The issue with this is the eufy is designed with a waterproof foam backing that presses against the outer ring of the junction box creating a seal, if i attached it to something like this water would get into electrical connection.
    I could use something like this with the front plate not attached if the holes would line up with the cameras mounting holes but most im looking at dont have the holes set back from the outer ring so there still won't be a proper seal in areas screw sits
    Seems the camera is designed for ameica not eu, i can find the correct box on usa stores.
    EDIT
    the above cctv rear boxes are no good, holes aren't 3.5 inches apart (edited)

    Sounds like your only option is going to be the one eufy make - do they not sell it separately - if not, you will have to source from the US.

    The only other thought would be a Chinese rip-off of the design via somewhere like AliExpress etc.


    Very strange they never included it as part of the package.

    No eufy dont sell or make a junction box for this new model, in all previous models they included one because we cant get junction boxes with the correct 3.5 inch hole spacing in the eu so we were sold a different model that included one.
    Seems they've made a mistake with this new model and completely forgot, ive spoken to them tonight and they've passed it on to the design team who are going to email back in 24 hours apparently.
    My only option is to get one from america some how, found them on anazon us but dont think we can ordef from there (edited)

    Not sure if you've seen this video, but he spends a few minutes showing the wiring and how to install to the wall/ceiling... Thought it might help

    Thanks for taking time to help, however im not conviced installing it to brick without a junction box is a great idea, it has a large hole in the rear mount which will eventually fill the rear compartment with water where the electric connection is, i managed to modify some cctv junction boxes to work now though (edited)

    I was just looking at the e340 to replace our existing floodlight. I gathered you might need a junction box but expected eufy to include one if you need a proprietary one to fit. I'm definitely not buying one now, too much messing about trying to hunt one down that works. A massive oversight by eufy
