Reolink cameras that have had their wires damaged can still be usable if repaired using keystone jacks and dolphin clips.

Thank you. Just saved me a bundle. I was putting a male end on to plug into a barrel connector so I had to visualize which side pin 1 was, but your video showed you turning it and that was enough to make sure which side was pin 1. Thanks again

Just fixed a RLC520a with this as guidance, didn't have luck with a keystone jack due to it being cheap garbage, so crimped a RJ45 connector at the end with some struggle (used some spare wires to fill out the empty spaces) and got it working in the end using a keystone module with RJ45 sockets on both sides. Thanks!

Using an RJ45 connector and a pass-through (F/F) works fine as well. Just follow T-568B. As stated in the video, gray goes to blue, purple goes to brown/white.

I have a different brand camera and its power cable got broken... so when I peeled out the rubber cover, I see three wires, two red and one black. I expected to see just one red and one black (I think it's 12 VDC power )... what could the two red wires be for?

Could it be the reset switch wires?

Do you know which wire is used for video output? I have an RLC 411 WS wifi camera I want to hardwire as a backup camera. I have had to repair the RJ45 connector due to squirrel damage and discovered they used the ethernet B format. I have used it as it was intended since that repair.

I'm sorry but I don't know which exact wire carries the video signal. If I come across the info I will reply again.

I put all six cables as you are showing in this video and the camera still doesn't turn on. Not sure what else to troubleshoot.

@octaviocastellanos9196 3 жыл бұрын

Is it a power over ethernet camera or WiFi camera? A WiFi camera would need the power cable connected a PoE camera wouldn't. Are you trying a new keystone jack or reusing the one from Reolink? Trying out a new keystone might help out. Another idea would be if the cables were put in the wrong slots and then the camera gets powered on. Even if you go back and put them in correctly the camera might be toast. I did this by accident before and lost a camera. \=

The ethernet cable you are using to connect the camera to the NVR could be wired using the "A" standard

@henryliau 2 жыл бұрын

Is it necessary to rewire the power and reset cables or can it just be left disconnected?

@octaviocastellanos9196 2 жыл бұрын

If I remember right it was not necessary. The camera would just be on all the time and you could just unplug and re-plug in the ethernet cable to reset the camera.

Today I replaced a damaged RJ45 connector on a Reolink camera with the same pigtail configuration as shown in this video. I cut off the three wires used for the power / reset parts and just used the six ethernet wires crimped into a new RJ45 connector. So you can leave those power/reset wires disconnected, as long as you're using PoE to power the camera.

@octaviocastellanos9196 2 жыл бұрын

@@y0rkiebar Yes you should be able to leave those disconnected if you're just using POE.

Looking to extend the power cable that came with my reolink cameras. I see that the wire is 22 awg. I guess I can just go buy myself 1000 ft of 22/2 wires and splice them.

@octaviocastellanos9196 Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can make your own power cable as you suggested as long as you're delivering 12V 1A. I believe some cameras need 2A so you'll have to check the specs on your camera.

So how can you make this a weatherproof connector if you want to place the camera outside?

@octaviocastellanos9196 2 жыл бұрын

I'd pack the whole thing into something like this using all weather electrical tape around the connections: www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-1-2-in-White-5-Holes-4-in-Round-Non-Metallic-Weatherproof-Box-WRB550PW/300851124 With this lid: www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-White-4-in-Round-Non-Metallic-Weatherproof-Blank-Cover-WBC300PW/300852147 Use a 1/2 cable gland if you need to bring the cable in without conduit. Alternately, I wonder if you could just make the end into a male RJ45 and use the waterproof cylinder that's included with the camera. Then you'd have to waterproof the power and reset button.

Just tried this and it didn't work. Mine happened to be water damage. I guess it fried everything. 😒

@octaviocastellanos9196 4 ай бұрын

Depending on how long the water has been sitting, you may be right in that it was fried. If it had been working, even with some water damage, cleaning the board with isopropyl alcohol sometimes helps prolong the camera's life.

Your wiring looks correct to me. I've had it where rewiring did not fix the issue. I believe those times the actual camera was damaged. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
