I found the pinout online somewhere and did basically exactly what your doing. The plug got wet and turned black and the camera went offline. I cut the bad socket off and used a male connector to quickly replace it seeing how I had some cable couplers already. I was working on a ladder trying to do this and at first it didn't seem to be talking to my Reolink NVR but went down another time to check and it was online. Wrapped everything up and put it under the eaves so it wouldn't get wet again. Been working fine for many months since and they should make their unique pinout available far easier than it is as I didn't want to buy a new camera just for a water damaged plug socket. I should have just taken it down but I thought it would be simple to just use the standard ethernet cable pin setup till I cut it off🤬

Hi app is free or need to pay for subscription?

Thank you! Im gonna try this one later

What size should the coupler be? Is the size standard or do you need something smaller to fit into the waterproof box?

The trick for this not happening ever is to fill the connection with dielectric grease. The water cannot displace the grease so it can't ever go inside. The failure rate of these "waterproof" connections without grease is very high. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9mBjceL25rJaWQ.html

Salve o un kit Reigy e volevo acquistare una telecamera che può avere letta quale mi consigli 4k ? Grazie

Thanks for helping me figure out the pin configuration.

All your missing is duct tape #therighttoolsareimportant

I got some splice boards desoldered the punch down blocks. Sliced the camera port, soldered to PCB for splice. Soldered cat 6 on other side, potted the monstrosity with silicone. Been back in business for a year.

I do not know how to thank you. A 1 month old new RLC-830A stopped working. Your video allowed me to restore it to 100%. A very useful video. Thank you 1000!!!!

Thanks heaps - would be better in this day and age to be able to do it through the nvr direct to their website.

Reolink NVR has a built in switch and its own network. Cameras sit behind and are NAT-ed just as if you put them behind a router.

Frustrating that they left out two wires to save fractions of a penny. Thanks for solving the modified wire layout!

This post saved me. Thank you for sharing this, I have a RLC-823A that had water in the Ethernet port and broken pins. Managed to salvage it by following your instructions. 🙏

It looks like I may have to do a Firmware update on my new cameras. I just installed them and when it was dark outside the cameras went to a black screen. The night vision does not work. Unbelievable. Crazy they don't work at night out of the box. I called Amcrest and the phone tech said I would need to do a firmware. Great update. Great video! Gos bless.

Salve Sa dirmi come mai non vedo più tutte le telecamere poe sul monitor? Ho una reolink duo vede solo da un'occhio Dopo aver aggiornato il firmware

Hard pass on that opening music bro. this aint a rave.

bait and switch

gracias por tu ayuda chaval

Hey! I like your current content, I have a cool camera you would like to review?

Totally helped me fix my rlc 833a. Used the water shield but it was swamped and burnt. Wiring setup was exactly what I needed. THANKS!!

I’m trying to connect Annke AC800 cameras to the Reolink RLN8-410 but despite having onvif enabled when I try to pair with the Reolink NVR I get a connection timed out error. I can log into the settings of the cameras when creating a local network on the NVR via connected laptop and have changed it to a static ip in the range of the reolink NVR but still nothing. If you help with configuration please I’d appreciate it. TIA

this doesn't count for POE over gigabit or the LED on the keystone

Can't the connection be cleaned with alcohol or do they absolutely need to be replaced? The exact same thing happened to one of my cameras and I don't want to have to buy an ethernet crimper. AND...which ethernet connectors to use? I see cat6 on amazon but is that what is used? AND....do you need to replace the cable end as well seeing s it too has gotten wet?

Has any body had issues with these cameras just going dead!. We purchased three of them and two of them went completely dead!

thanks for sharing the pinout! it works ❤

Well that works ... fired up a dead camera Reolink 811a. Already had the kit so that's a complete freeby. Thanks for your time and efforts making the video !

This video is great, thank you!!!!! saved me from having to buy 3 replacement cameras, as the ones I had suffered oxidation on the copper pins inside the RJ45 jack. Now I own a new pass-thru crimper tool too! Much better than the old stub-end ones.

Works fine , thanks

This video just saved me a lot of money that's what it did!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! It helped me a lot to update my camera!

Great video! How should I contact you? VIKYLIN wants to do business cooperation with you.

I verified I have the version 2 cameras and adjusted the settings but the light still looks consentrated like your did before the adjustment. The area has no light. Any suggestions?

Can I access the ONVIF stream of a camera directly connected to the NVR? I can access each RTSP stream via the different channels, but ONVIF?

My wired color are different

thanks ,i have same problem ,i did what u advised ,but camera working only with outside power supply ,can u help?

I encountered the same problem, I have 3 cameras with the same problem, you saved me man 👍 Cameras are working now thanks to you...from Saudi Arabia thank you

HI me and my Bf are tying to hook up a 3rd party camera to our reolink NVR since we already know the IP to the camera do we still need a laptop computer to do this? Helps us if you can thanks.

Sir great post is very informative

Thanks so much for the easy to follow wiring diagram. This fixed my problem in a cinch. Thank you! 🙂

Hello Dan , I am using RLC-810A with SIM card but I can't figure out How to download long recoding , I can only download 1- 2 min. video any idea ? Thanks

Fantastic, I had two POIs water got into even with protectors installed correctly. Making my own this time. Thanks repaired both and they worked first time. 🙃

Thanks for the video. I had watched a few others, but the colors of the camera cable were different: in yours the combination is exactly as in mine. However, in my case the problem persists. The camera gets power but doesn't give me image. I might try repeating the process but a few inches closer to the camera, past the spot where the cable splits into RJ45 and power jack.

waiting on reolink support to reply. My windows client won't let me add any of my cameras via IP to the software so I'm only able to upgrade the DVR firmware.

Thanks for this video, but I would like to know if you can use motion detection connecting that Amcrest camera on that Reolink NVR?

Dan, thank you so much for sharing this video. I had ran into the same problem with water damage to the end of my outdoor security camera. I thought it was toasted and about to purchase a replacement. Your video saves me $$$. Thanks again, and please keep up the good work.

So I guess you’re pretty much screwed with these cameras if all you have is a cell phone only to make these adjustments because these options aren’t on that.

Thank you SO MUCH for creating and sharing this video!!! Exactly what I needed! 👍👍

Hey 👋 I have a quick question for you. I’ve been trying to connect one of my cameras that has been unplugged (outside). I can’t get it to pair back up with the system. I came across your video after several hours of failure and now I think maybe this is the problem. How do I know if the camera (for whatever reason) just stopped working, or if the problem is like yours? Thank you 😊

in my CCTV cam, I have green, white-green, blue, white blue, then 2 black wires, then 2 red wire
