I am in the process of an attempted repair on one of my SD49225T-HN ptz cameras, believe the network socket has corroded, certainly one of the spring connectors has gone bad. Shall make notes on here for the pin out/colour mapping of the 8 core network cable and also list the replacement I got from Amazon, with associated cable mapping. Fingers crossed it is this and not on the board level! If I provide 12v to the power jack it spins up and initiates as normal, the cat5 connector will not give it any life at this point.

So far I cut the cables and mapped pins etc, will solder and shrink wrap the cables tomorrow or day after and hope that it does the job. My only concern is that in the past this camera has gone off for an hour or two, then worked for weeks or even months after that. Makes me think it is likely something on the board, but anything is possible. It had been working fine most recently until there was a power outage and it never came back on since then!

For those who don't use it, be sure to apply dielectric silicone grease when installing any IP cam, outdoors at least. Maybe it was the rush to fit this one being my first PTZ but I never did apply any grease, still it lasted for 7 years which is not bad. More to come when I progress, including cable mappings.
