Wiring order for Swann NHD 887MSFB camera

[Don Klassen]

I need the wiring sequence for the Swann nhd 887msfd Poe camera. The camera has 8 wires coming out. Tried to open female plug on cam but wires got messed up. I think the order is :
1 orange and white stripe
2 orange
3 green and white stripe
4 red & 5 red and white stripe are soldered to terminals together
6 green
7 black & 8 black and white stripe are soldered to terminals together

I know 4 red and 7 black are fed from a auxiliary jack in case you don’t use POE

the ethernet cables supplied by Swann only have four wires in them
1 Orange with white stripe
2 orange
3 green with white stripe
6 green
So to splice in a cat5 Jack plug to camera I tried the sequence above for the wires 1236 and it didn’t work any thoughts?

Welcome @Don Klassen

Please Let us know if the above works out for you.

Well I tried and it didn’t work. The R series diagram has a red white wire going to 5 and a black and white stripe going to 7. The ethernet cable Swann uses has no leads going to 5 &7

Maybe because 4&5 are tied together in the cam (POE +) as are 7&8 (POE -) ?

But nether 4,5,7 or 8 are used in the Ethernet cable, so even if there connected on the jack there will not be any power or data going up the cable from nvr .

But you said in post #1 "...The camera has 8 wires coming out."

 

[Don Klassen]

Yes the camera has 8 wires coming out, two that go to an auxiliary power jack. Using the solid red and black wires. But the Ethernet cables Swann provides only has 4 wires inside it. Connected to terminals 1 2 3 + 6 as you can see in the pic in the post.

POE 10/100 Mode A (Mixed Data and Power) only uses 4 wires according to Wikipedia:

• Rx + and DC+ on Pin1 (orange/white), RX- and DC+ on pin 2 (orange)
• TX+ and DC- on pin 3 (green/white), TX- and DC- on pin 6 (green)

Well as you can see in the pic of the jack plug I have them wired in the order you described.I’m at a loss also. Maybe someone else has an idea.

Bad camera?

 

[Don Klassen]

Bad camera?

Well the camera was working, it was new but there was some moisture in the lens so Swann was sending out a new one. While I was waiting for new one the moisture went away so I thought I would have it as a back up camera.

Thanks for the diagram. Worked for my cameras. I had two of them burn out due to rain getting into the connectors. I half ass wired them according to your specs and it worked. I just made the positive and negative long enough to loop them around and it work like a charm. Now gonna clean the wires up and seal the connection from the elements.

This worked for me and this is how I wired it up.
