Swann NHD-865MSB POE Connector Pinout?

[savatreatabvr]

Water had gotten into the RJ45 connector on my Swann NHD-865MSB POE camera and corroded the pins. The only way to keep using the camera was to cut off the RJ45 connector and hardwire the camera straight to the ethernet cable. Follow me so far? My issue is not knowing what color wires from the camera tie into the ethernet cable? I've contacted Swann but no one can locate a pinout diagram. I'm only using 4 wires from the ethernet cable RJ45 (OrnWht-pin 1, Orn-pin 2, Grn/Wht-pin 3 & Grn-pin 6) but the NHD-865MSB RJ45 connector is using 6 wires (Orn/Wht-pin 1, Orn-pin 2, Grn/Wht-pin 3, Red/Wht-pin 6, Grn-pin 7 & Blk/Wht-pin 8) pins 4 & 5 are not used. The 2 extra wires are Red/Wht & Blk/Wht.

I cut apart the NHD-865MSB RJ45 connector and found the Red/Wht & Blk/Wht are in a separate molex connector along with the red & black audio wires I tied together pins 1, 2, 3 & 6 from both RJ45 connectors but still have a blank screen. I know the camera is good so I'm missing something but can't find it. Any help finding a pinout diagram for a Swann NHD-865MSB camera is greatly appreciated!

Same camera and same issue. Cant find anything.

I have 887 pig tails from 2 dead cams from water inside.

Here is what i have to add from my research. The wire that comes with the camera only uses 4 wires in the cable - pins 1, 2, 3, & 6. I cut it apart and found that pin 1 is orange with white stripe, pin 2 is orange, pin 3 is green with white stripe, and pin 6 is red with white stripe. Hope that helps.

If your Swann Camera has 8 wires. Here is the wiring configuration to punch down to a Cat5 or 6 jack.

1 Orange Stripe Orange

2 Orange Yellow

3 Green Stripe Green

4 Blue Purple

5 Blue Stripe Grey

6 Green Blue

7 Brown Stripe Brown

8 Brown White

Hey, I am new here, but I joined specifically for this same problem (except it was an NHD-885). Using the OP's pictures, I came to make it work (with POE!) using only 4 wires. I put them in the keystone jack as such:

(This is in T568B, by the way)
Camera ---> Keystone
Red/White ---> Green
Green/White ---> Green/White
Orange ---> Orange
Orange/White ---> Orange/White

The remaining Black and Green wires I did nothing with. Plugged it into my POE switch and voila! It worked!

Hope this helps!

Did you ever get this figured out? I ended up with the same wiring diagram as you after testing each wire, camera still doesn't work. I actually got it sort of working but very very slow data transfer rate, I wired it up to a male plug using the original Swann layout that you drew. Can't figure this out...

This one didn't work for me on the 865. When I plug it in, the white LED lights on the cam come on for a few seconds but no video or connection on the NVR.

We had an issue with a camera having the female plug end get damaged.

Some additional information:
The swann supplied patch cords only have 4 conductors in it, in pin locations 1,2,3,6. According to Pierogies, it looks like the camera needs the red/white hooked up also. Its clearly not using standard 568B pinouts.

(This is in T568B, by the way)
Camera ---> Keystone
Red/White ---> Green
Green/White ---> Green/White
Orange ---> Orange
Orange/White ---> Orange/White

We had a similar issue with the motion sensing light coming on, but no video on a separate camera. we could see the camera was taking power from the NVR port for the deterrent light, but it wasn't turning on. We assigned it a static ip address, reset it to dynamic addressing, power cycled it, and the NVR picked the camera up. Cant explain that one. its like the firmware needed an update or something.

i had a Swann NHD-887MSFB with the same problem, the motion sensor and the light were working but no audio/video. Female pin was damaged due to water getting into the housing. Followed the legend for R series connections and it fixed the problems.

 

[Upsidedown]

Confirmed, r-series works! What doesn't work is trying to put it on another Keystone type jack. After 300 attempts I think the cable coming out of the camera is stranded wire, I guess the Keystone jacks don't like stranded.

Put on a normal cat5e plug and works great. Will just have to use an inline coupler.
