ENS Cam Dead

[svengoli123]

Hi - I have the ENS camera IP-5IRD4S02VFZ-W. It recently stopped working, and I believe water got into the POE connection. I recently tested the Ethernet wire, and it is transmitting power. I read sometimes rewiring the camera into a jack can work. Is there a standard pin out I can use? Anyone have the color diagram for this camera? Can I open the camera and swap out the power connector? I see they are sold on EBay. Total newbie here, so any help would be appreciate. I prefer to fix before having to buy a new camera.
Thanks!!!

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 still have the pigtail intact (too many come here and ask AFTER they've cut it off or someone else ripped it off and have no idea of the pinout/color code) write down the color code as it appears on the blank image below, being careful to match color to pin number then you can punch it down to a female Keystone jack or crimp onto a male RJ-45 (NOTE pin layout!) and use a waterproof coupler (bulky).

Little confused. How do I know the correct pinout for the ip cam? I planned to add a male rj45 and use a coupler.

Ohhh, I think I’m a little dense. Try and find the color pinout in the current female rj45 and simply mimic that on a new one.

Your choice, male or female, what's important is writing down the proper color-to-pin setup on the existing pigtail before you go any further.

The inside of the pigtail was a disaster. I was not able to salvage…. Now, stuck with 8 wires. Black, Red, Green, yellow, orange, blue, white, and brown.

Does this picture help at all? I opened the camera.

Do you have a DVM or continuity checker? If so, could you strip a tiny amount of insulation off each wire and see which color goes to which pin of the RJ-45 female?

 

[svengoli123]

The original female rj45 was destroyed… no way I can use it for testing.

Yet another cautionary tale, when installing cameras outdoors, at the very least, always use Dielectric Grease in the connections.
But see this: WaterProofing Connections

So, am I done? Just buy a new camera? No way to fix at this point?

Did you try the pinout suggested in Post #2?

 

[svengoli123]

I don’t have those colors. I tried the attached and it didn’t work.
