POE outdoor cam rj45 cable pinouts

[Rickdean22]

Hey I'm wanting to hack in a microphone into a IP4M-1026 outdoor camera. Is there a way I could use a pin that isn't being used on the RJ45 cable? Wanting to put it on top my barbershop and point it next door at the Santa Fe depot. Anyone have any comments on how I could do that?

Hi...1 splitter set, 2 couplers, 4 extra network cables. Kind of a mess and not too cheap once finished, but in my opinion it beats drilling a new hole through the closet floor with a dull bit and fishing a network cable through the crawlspace and out into the great snowy outdoors.

Rickdean22,

Unfortunately, I do not have any recommendation that I can provide on this since this type of modification is not recommended and would void all warranties.

However, I can provide an article with pin-out that may help you as you make a decision on a possible attempt.
