now thats a great idea
Another Dirtman idea. Can't find a security / bear proof trail camera box that fits YOUR particular camera......."Make one".
I went to Home Depot and picked up two regular apartment mailbox's.
Next....measure and cut the appropriate holes for camera lense (in front) and lock bar (on side). Drill two 1/4 holes thru the back for attaching to tree by going thru the access hole in the front. Pick up two 2 1/2" x 1/4" lag screws to go thru back holes.
Paint or cover with camo burlap. Spray liberally with Scent Blocker before placing in the woods.
Bolt /screw the camera to the tree, slide camera down inside, attach lock to sidebar and close. Bears have not destroyed either of my cameras. Theives will have a hard time getting it off the tree also.

Evidently, the bears in the woods have been conspiring to attack my new invention's. I went up this morning to retreive SD cards and install new batteries and this is what I found. Both camera boxes destroyed, but luckily the cameras were still good. Bast#$ds must have waited for the batteries to go dead, because there are NO pic's of them.

You gotta stop putting your lunch in those boxes. Them bears get hungry.
Just bought these on E-Bay. Sure hope they work better.
