Even if not in direct weather, thermal cycling (warming up, cooling down) also causes devices to drawn in damp air that condenses and collects but never exits so its important to also caulk the pigtail that enters the camera with non-gassing sealant, waterproof the Ethernet connection and use...

I assume you've tried a different POE port; is the cam's IR-cut filter clicking when powered up? Have you tried cleaning the male-to-female RJ-45 connection with De-OXit D5? If so and it tests OK after that, be sure to use dielectric grease and water-proof as here. Since your'e lucky enough to...

I think Ubiquiti is quite rare in how they often put RJ45 connectors directly on the camera, not using a pigtail. It is actually a really nice feature now that you mention it. I can't think of any outdoor models from Dahua or Hikvision which don't use a pigtail. In fact the last outdoor...

Thanks for very detailed answer! I suspected that the problem may be in the cable so I re terminated the end of the cable going into the switch did not seam to have much effect. It is strange though I did use the included connection protector that comes with: something similar to this...

My first choice would be a problem with the cable and/or its connectors. Moisture and the resulting corrosion at the connection of the male RJ-45 to the female RJ-45 on the camera's pigtail is especially subject to corrosion. When weather permits, open up that connection and inspect it. Clean...

Just dropping by to show my gratitude and post a more recent update on this. I had no end of problems "decoding" the wiring on my DS-2CD2383G0 which stopped functioning after relocation. I assume during the removal and installation the pigtail became damaged. One thing all the various threads...

On a FB group for electric issues, I recently saw a thread where many electricians suggest making a drain hole in the box if one isn't present. If the box is tightly sealed, external water won't get in but some expressed a concern about condensation building up over time inside the box. Others...

If the OP is using a diecast metal box as pictured I highly recommend sealing the box completely, not allowing it to have loose fittings and covers to allow atmosphere in to supposedly allow water to overcome the surface tension (viscosity) that water has that would prevent it from draining out...

Those are great points, thank you very much! I was leaning towards the POE to 12v pigtail splitters as they seem to be the easiest route to go, I had thought about putting heat shrinks and silicone over the connectors but the dielectric grease is a great idea and so is the self fusing tapes...

I understand your frustration and that you seek to change camera brands but any camera, including Hikvision, can have moisture issues, as shown by the many instances here ==>> site:ipcamtalk.com hikvision moisture . If you decide to switch anyway, please consider the following in case your new...

I would go ahead with the POE-to-12VDC-splitter you linked and then use dielectric gel on the RJ-45's and the 12VDC barrel connector then weatherproof all 3 connection junctions with self-vulcanizing rubber tape and quality vinyl electrical tape as outlines in an excerpt below from the original...

edit I just realised you're looking for turret cameras, as opposed to the bullet format that I've referenced below. There are quite a few Pro-Series cameras such as the DS-2CD26xx series that have built-in ethernet sockets as opposed to being on pigtails - you'd have to browse the products...

Of course I would seal the hole for ethernet cable. So can anybody confirm there are no current HikVision turret cameras that do not use pigtail?

Go with option 1. At the very least apply dielectric grease to the connection but ideally, perform the complete weatherproofing method.

I am looking for a HikVision turret camera that can connect PoE ethernet cable with RJ45 plug straight into the body. From what I've researched the current cameras DS-2CDx3xx seem to use some pigtail that needs to be connected to ethernet cable outside of the cam body and water sealed. I need to...

+1 to all the above ^^^. Ideally, use the junction boxed designed for the specific camera to additionally protect the camera's pigtail. Some more, detailed info below: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/hikvision-ds-1280zj-dm21-correct-way-for-a-watertight-installation.47647/#post-444148

No, I have installed an RJ25 socket unit in the back of a cupboard. The faceplate allows four sockets to be installed. Unless, of course, that is what you meant. Unfortunately the boat has sailed in terms of the cable used and already installed. With UK building construction, there are not...

Did you cut the connector off because of the 3/4" to 1" hole required for the camera's pigtail? If so, maybe next go-around consider this: they make junction boxes for specific make/model of cameras that houses and protects the pigtail from direct exposure to moisture and sunlight. The box also...

I'd mount this gangbox adapter on the single gang box (purchase here.) Then mount the junction box that is made for the camera onto the adapter. The JB (junction box) will house the bulky camera pigtail and protect it. Since the cams are under a roof eave the cables will be fairly well protected...

Use solid (not stranded) copper (not CCA/Copper Clad Aluminum) cable with the right jacket for the application. Use "CMR" (R=Riser) rated jacket for in-walls, between floors, and in crawl spaces and attics. It can be used under eaves and soffits if not directly exposed to sun and rain. For...

And you'll need a good POE switch ==>> NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE Switch (GS108LP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 60W Upgradeable, Desktop, Wall Mount or Rackmount, and Limited Lifetime Protection NOTE: The above switch is not industrial-rated and should be located in the same environment...

I put 4 cams on a single wide in 2017. Took the four CAT-5e's down through 2 holes in floor next to the wall and behind an entertainment center where the NVR would live on bottom shelf; be sure stand out from the wall enough to avoid steel truss, it was about 4" there, IIRC. Removed 1 section...

Looks like corrosion due to water ingress. Below is a quick copy & paste from a Nov. of '22 thread that I replied to, it has some good links. If you haven't already done so, this below is my suggestion to try and clean the female RJ-45 on the cam's pigtail: I would recommend replacing the...

This is a quick copy & paste from a Nov. of '22 thread that I replied to, it has some good links. If you haven't already done so, this below is my suggestion to try and clean the female RJ-45 on the cam's pigtail: I would recommend replacing the RJ-45 male at the camera end first, as you can...

I think the best we can do to fix an affected camera and mitigate the situation to help prevent (but not guarantee) future moisture intrusion is as follows: Wait until the ambient relative humidity is at its lowest point. Chose the driest environment you can for this procedure; in other words...

When mounting a forum favorite 5442T turret camera on an eaves soffit with the ethernet cable coming through the soffit, one can use a PF130 or PFA122 box. The properly watertight connection of the ethernet cable to the camera pigtail can be stuffed into the enclosed box (I ended up abandoning...

Just use a box with a lid slightly larger lid than the cam's base, IMO. It's already a big-ass cam and most of the box will be under the eave, it seems. Refering to step #1 in the install guide here, I'd think that you'd remove the mounting plate from the cam and mount it to the box lid, then...

Cam is Turret Annke I9BH, aka Hikvision NCD800. Pigtail on caliper comes in at 0.84 inch. By way of reference, T5442T pigtail is +/- 0.50 inch. Both being soft plastic, reading is slightly different each time you measure. Let's say that the cam on my "test bench" is how it will install on eaves...

thank you very good tip but how do I get the case of the camera open
