POE outdoor cam rj45 cable pinouts

Post by obchris »

Hi, I had to cut the female rj45 off of my Amcrest IP2M-844E. I of course know what the standard rj45 a and b type pinouts are but the problem is, when you open up the camera or strip some of the outer jacket from the cable, Amcrest is not using standard colors for the wires to the RJ45. So what I need is a guide that either does a color mapping from the Amcrest colors to standard 802.11 or simply tell me which pin each of the six wires for the RJ45 go to. I'm using POE so no need to worry about the red and black wire that go to the seperate power dongle.

I have not been able to find a color mapping anywhere and it would be very helpful. I can pin it out myself but that's really a lot of tedious work and of course Amcrest has the mapping documentation. I have 4 outdoor cameras like this so it's something I really need to get sorted.

Thanks much.

Any translation for the color codes on the left?

EG:
is VI - violet/purple?
is GY - gray?

You'll need to look in your camera. The diagram is from a Dahua camera. Also, POE uses 2 wires per + and -. Pins 4&5 are + and pins 7&8 are -.

I called Amcrest customer service, and they were able to tell me over the phone the pin layout, and also followed up with a pin diagram. The diagram is below, and I typed-out the color code map here.

PIN1: Brown
PIN2: Purple
PIN3: Orange
PIN 4 OR 5: Yellow (connect only ONE)
PIN 6: Blue
PIN 7 or 8: Gray (connect only ONE)
