Below is the PIN for the RJ45 Cable on the Camera side, here is 6 PIN only. If user want to remake the RJ45 cable on camera side, please follow below PIN info :
Orange & white to PIN 1;
Orange to PIN 2;
Green & White to PIN 3;
Grey to PIN 4 or 5;
Green to PIN 6;
Purple to PIN 7 or 8.

Thanks again, I am following your advice and asking support and am  also attempting to 'de-construct' the RJ45 socket to look at the wiring,if I can. Wish me luck.

 

 

Thanks for the prompt response. I'm doing a poor job of communicating my problem!

The RJ45 socket from the camera is totally corroded and rusted. Consequently I have cut off the socket and wish to rewire it. However there is no way I can figure out which wire color goes to which pin from the camera - 6 wires in total. The standard cat5 cable then goes from the socket to the POE power supply.

I fear I will have to try to open up the corroded  socket and see if I can figure out which color goes into which socket pin! Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome. I realize I voided any warranty by cutting the corroded socket off the camera cable!

thanks, Vahe.

 

Thank you for the helpful reply. My specific issue is the POE wiring from the camera. It consists of 6 wires:

green

green/white

orange

orange/white

purple

white

My task is the connect each wire  to the wiring schema you detailed in your reply. ie which color to which RJ45 pin?

Thank you, Vahe

I had the same problem with waterproofing the RJ45 socket and unfortunately the socket has become completely corroded and failed. I lost the connection and have to cut off the socket and rewire. Does anyway have the camera wiring for the POE socket? I will be using a Hyperlink Technologies outdoor weatherproof box for the new POE connection.

Thanks, Vahe
