Happy accident report.
Was thinking I could buy a used Dahua/Lorex/Amcrest camera to address my cracked glass Z12E cam.
Showed up today. body is WAY smaller. Not going to fit for replacement glass.
I thought, well lets see what the hell happens if I plug it in. It was a Rig Job siliconed female RJ45 jack.
I figured I'd be visiting Google to relocate the Dahua punch down schematic.
The Cisco happy link light lit up, then the Activity light light up and I thought "wow" maybe the dam thing still works.
I jumped on Amcrest Ip config program and there it was at 10.10.0.7
So i went back out and held the Reset button for about 20 seconds.
And Ip config Showed a Lorex LNB9252 @ 192.168.1.235
Ran it thru BI and got it to pull up the camera. It's an 8MP on a 1/2.8 sensor, and has audio functionality as well.
low light in color is underwhelming. but I'm sure I can find a home for it somewhere. As we have Boo Koo outdoor lighting in back and on driveway.

Wow! Looks like they hired someone to paint the house and they sprayed over everything!
My Plan( everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face) was to hide it ( -Camo style) atop the outdoor Hose reel in a tan low profile box, with the Business end poking out just enough to avoid IR bounce. But the damn thing fogged up over a few nights and I bagged the whole project for Life's other bullshit activities.
