I have two GW5050IP cameras that need to be rewired because the POE female cable port burnt out do to rain getting in it. However the wires on the camera are colored coded different from regular CAT5 POE.
Does anyone know where to find the wiring diagram for this camera so I can find out which wires match up with the CAT5. I've tried the web site with no luck. I've seen a few things on you tube but nothing specifically about the GW5050IP camera. SEE ATTACHED PICS.

Thanks in advance.

I had exactly the same thing happen.

I cut apart the connector to see what was soldered where.

It boils down to this.

Pins 1 & 2: Purple
Pin 3: Green
Pin 4 & 5: Gray
Pin 6: White Green
Pin 7: Orange
Pin 8:White Orange

Pin labeled + :Green Purple
Pin labeled - : Blue Purple

I don't know what the plus/minus is as that's not anywhere near standard  RJ45 wiring.

I tried several variation of standard punch down  and couldn't get the camera to work. 

If you do get it to work, please post.  I have a dead camera I'd like to resurrect.

Seeing as how the pin connections should relate to the normal data wiring of a port with POE then:

Pin 1: W/O
Pin 2: O
Pin 3: Green
Pin 4: Gray
Pin 5: Gray
Pin 6: W/G
Pin 7: Purple
Pin 8: Purple

I believe that the DVR's are wired for the standard poe.
