Hi. I have an Alhua camera whose female connector is broken. I cut the wire to try and re-terminate it, but there are only 6 wires and the colors are weird:

orange
Blue

purple
Brown

yellow
Gray

many help would be appreciated.

It is actually spelled "Dahua". Funny logo I know.

Get a multimeter and measure continuity between the pins in the RJ45 connector and the wires on the back of the connector. Write each one down as you go, and you will know for sure what the pinout is.
 
If you don't have a multimeter, you can try this: [link removed; it was definitely wrong]

But know that if you get it wrong, you could fry the camera by providing power where it should not be.

Here is a place where someone confirmed the pinout. Just make sure you understand RJ45 pin numbering.


Brown = pin 1
Purple = pin 2
Orange = pin 3
Yellow = pin 4+5
Blue = pin 6
Grey = pin 7+8
