      Hi All, does anyone know what waterproof lid for the rj45 cable would be compatible with the E1 Outdoor-V3, mine did not come with one? I can see a few on amazon but want to be sure the fitting is compatible. The RLC-410-5MP came with one so I only need one.

      Nothing on amazon look like it has a compatible thread. On amazon uk there is a product titled "VCE Waterproof RJ45 Coupler Shielded Cat6 Outdoor Ethernet Connector Female to Female" for £8.89, but I'm not sure if it will work.

      Google shopping didn't find anyone selling an official one.

        Yes, Reolink's waterproof lid is compatible with any RJ45 Ethernet connector. I struggled with one where my Ethernet cable was Cat6, which is slightly larger than Cat5e. (I used what I had on hand.) But eventually got it to close.
        For the 12V power connector, I would recommend "Liquid Electrical Tape", available at any hardware store.

          Liquid electrical tape is a good idea.

          "Reolink's waterproof lid is compatible with any RJ45 Ethernet connector." I think you misunderstood me. I need the Waterproof Lid, as I have 2 camera to fit, but I only was supplied a single cover for the RJ45 connector. Do you know where I can pick one up, or a compatible one?

          Thanks,

            Indeed correct. I misunderstood. VizGiz sells them on Amazon at $6.88US for 4. Appear to be identical to what Reolink ships. (Notice the picture!)
            You are correct to consider the thread. I have no idea if it matches.

            I would turn to my old standby: Heat Shrink Tubing.

            • Get a piece that will slide over the entire RJ45 assembly.
            • Cut a piece long enough to cover everything, plus a couple of inches.
            • Slide it over the RJ45 plug before connecting.
            • Plug in the RJ45.
            • Slide the tube over.
            • Use a hair drier to shrink it.
            • Put some liquid electrical tape over the ends of the tubing.
