I have IP cameras model GW-5061IP

I found 3 of them have failed due to a corroded connector. Unfortunately, they were not sealed against the elements. 
(after reinstallation, I will use "coax seal" to seal the connectors against the elements)

I want to cut off the connector, and re-wire it to a new RJ45 connector. 
Does anyone know the correct wiring for this camera?

The RJ45 pin-out is like this:
1 - TX+
2 - TX-
3 - RX+
4 - Ground
5 - Ground
6 - RX-
7 - Power
8 - Power

I  disassembled the camera body, and I found 12 wires:
* Orange + Orange/white stripe -- goes to 4-pin jumper
* Green + Green/white stripe -- goes to 4-pin jumper
* Red + Black -- goes to J10 on top board
* Red/white + Black/white -- goes to 4-pin jumper on 2nd board
* Purple + Gray -- goes to jumper J1
* Blue/red + Green/red -- goes to 4-pin jumper on 3rd board, not visible.

The 2nd board has 8 wires, possibly related to the RJ45 connector: orange, orange/white, green, green/white, purple gray., red/white, black/white.
Since the twisted pairs are obviously the TX and RX lines, then purple and gray are likely to be the link/activity lights on the connector, and red/white stripe are power/ground. 

Here is my guess:
* Orange + Orange/white stripe -- twisted pair probably TX +-
* Green + Green/white stripe -- twisted pair probably RX +-
* Red + Black -- power/ground 1 on RJ45 connector??
* Red/white + Black/white -- power/ground 2 on RJ45 connector?
* Purple + Gray -- link+activity lights?
* Blue/red + Green/red -- external power connector?

Thanks if anyone can provide help.

Hope this is not too late.  I have a GW 5050 camera and I would ASSUME the wiring is the same.  Here is what I have come up with.  
Pinouts:
1 Orange/white
2 Orange
3 Green/white
4&5 soldered together - Gray 
6 Green
7&8 soldered together - Purple

Yellow wire goes to + of RJ45 LED
White wire goes to - of RJ45 LED  (White wire is soldered onto Black wire near where wires connect to camera boards)  Don't know why they picked up a ground here, but that is the way mine was done.

Red & Red/white goes to + of 12volt plug
Black & Black/white goes to - of 12 volt plug
