Anyone else available to help? I really wanted to get these things up today, thanks!

Yes it does, I believe that one is it! (sorry for delayed reply)

Unfortunately most of the model number is scratched off but here's what I can make out - "SRPRO" (scratched off) "AM" I believe the end says CAM but I can only for sure see the "AM". As for the middle numbers/letters, they're completely scratched off so thats the best I can do. Hopefully that...

I recently picked up two Swann cameras from a garage sale but both of the wires have been cut on them. I uploaded a picture so you can see what I'm talking about but basically there are 5 wires - 2 black, 2 red and 1 yellow. How would I go about rewiring them? Thanks in advance!

So I get the consensus is to toss it and buy a new one and do appreciate everyone's comments here, however I posted this to gain a better understanding of how it works and also what I did wrong. So although appreciated, "you did yourself a favor" is not what I came here for. I'd appreciate some...

Yeah you're probably right, but I'd still like to know what went wrong so I can actually learn from this and not repeat in the future.

Uh ohhh... So I went ahead and wired the 12v dc adapter (red & black wires) to the red & black wires coming from the camera and just capped the white and green wires. Well when I plugged it in nothing happened but roughly 5 - 10 seconds later there was a loud pop. I immediately disconnected it...

The camera does support PoE but unfortunately, the NVR and switch I'll be using do not support it. So I'm going to have to wire it to a 12v dc adapter but my question is what are the white and green wires for? The grey wire (in the image I've attached previously) has a red, black, white, and...

Thanks for the help! I just attached attached a few more images showing the inside of the enclosure and where the cords go to in there. The blue cord goes to the camera and then the grey splits (green & white go to camera and the red & black go to audio box/microphone. You suggested trying to...

I have no problem spending money to buy a new camera but that isn't really what I'm after. I'm more interested in just learning more about this which is why I'd like to use this camera as my guinea pig. Unfortunately, I lost the number to the guy I received it from and have no way of getting a...

I've attached new pictures which are a lot better than the original ones. Sorry, camera on phone was acting up.

A friend of mine recently gave me a security camera that he no longer needs for his business and I'd like to install it on one of my properties. The problem is I don't really know which one it actually is nor how to properly install it - this is where you guys come in! ;) I've attached 4 images...
