Help with Exxis video camera and RJ11E to BNC

Recommended Posts

Hey all i am new to all this sercurity cam stuff and i have 4 Exxis cameras that have a RJ11E end on them. I have a DVR card in my PC that only accepts BNC connectors. I was looking around seeing if i could find the pin out for the RJ11E connector but have been unsussessful. The only thing i can turn up is this:

pin#

1 speaker (hot)

2 video out

3 ground

4 speaker (cold)

5 audio out/alarm out

6 12V DC

Taking if the pin out above is correct then i would guess i would tie the ground and video to the bnc connector and then ground and 12v DC to the power supply? Can anyone confirm this?

 

My Exxis camera looks like this:

Mace seems to carry a converter for this type of thing but its $24.94/each!!!

Thanks for any help on this problems of mine!

Yes it would appear they share the same ground, most board cameras do, Ive done this before in the past.

Ive even had to share the audio ground before also. But in this case it seems it has its own?

Anyway, do this all at your own risk as I have not used this camera.

Thanks for the feedback, rory Wish i knew for sure what the pin layout was, though!

going by the image you posted, looking at it as it is.

 

there are 3 x wires.

top one is power.

middle one is video.

bottom one is audio

 

Now if the thing has a jack you can maybe check the colors in the jack based on which way that connector would plug into it (if you had it). So at least you will know which is which, except the ground and positive for power unless it is red and black.

 

Thats ofcourse if that Mace converter is made for that camera.

Mace bought Exxis, and yes that is designed for that camera.

 

Sent you a PM regarding an email to send the pinout to.

 

Sent you an email!

In the back of the DVR with the clip side to your left the pin out is as follows:

 

Back

Panel

Pin# Wire Back of DVR

___ ________ _______________________

1. - Shield - ground

2. - Yellow wire - Audio in from the camera

3. - White wire - Video in from the camera

4. - Green wire - Audio out to camera speaker

5. - Red wire - 15V out to camera

6. - Black wire - 5V out to Camera

 

I hope this will help someone.
