Power Diode Bypass on IP5M-T1277EW-AI?

[TheWaterbug]

Has anyone opened up one of these and figured out which diode needs to be bypassed to bring 12 V out on the barrel jack when the camera is powered over POE, e.g. so that we can power an external illuminator from the camera?

Here's what I did with the older, cheaper, IP5M-B1186EW-28MM:

Question for you! What is the load you are putting on the Amcrest camera? VIA your 12v hack? I mean that camera can't have that big of a Voltage regulator in it?

TIA

I'm powering a nominal 10W Tendelux illuminator off of each Amcrest camera.

I measured the 20W Tendelux model off of my POE meter, and it measured 20W, so I would assume their 10W model is 10W.

They've been fine. They've been up and running for a couple of years now.

And credit to @tigerwillow1 for the hack.
