Nest Cam Outdoor: What is the function of all these wires

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 23:44:08 -0700

My Google camera GJQ9T has a wire that runs between the camera and the power supply that plugs into the 120 outlet. I needed to cut the cable, now I have to repair the cut wire. From what I read the camera needs 5 volts, therefore I should need only 2 wires. Inside the cable I find 2 red wires, 1 white wire, 1 green wire, 1 wire for the shield. What is the function of all these wires, which ones should I use

Thank you

Steve

Nest cam outdoor: Hardwiring the Nest Cam Outdoor

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 12:06:36 -0700

My house is new construction and has a low voltage hardwire in place for a security camera. I want to wire the Nest Cam Outdoor to this hardwire. Any thoughts on how it should be spliced and attached. Could I just cut the USB cable and attach the power wires directly to the house hardwiring?

Nest Cam Outdoor: Google Nest Cam will not connect

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 09:48:01 -0700

I have tried every way possible but I cannot get it to connect. I have a second nest cam that works perfectly. The next cam with the problem is fairly close to my router. I have done a factory reset and still nothing. The set up process goes well until the final phase and it just then says that it "encountered a problem". The camera worked well for over a year until one day it stopped connecting. All effort to reconnect have failed. :-(

Security Camera: My camera is not this model or make it’s a Sricam

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 01:12:43 -0700

My camera was a recycled Sricam and it has a circuit board with AP003-MAIN-V1.1 there is 9 wires on one plug and the other one is 3 wires. I’m wanting to repurpose this for an electronic device that would be used on a feeder box from a remote location. We have a lot of wild bore around here and they are pretty aggressive animals. What I’m wanting to do is wire a usb cable instead of the original POE so it can be connected to a portable DVR I’ve got. The wire colors are orange with white/ orange, green with white/green, brown with white stripes/ brown, yellow, blue/blue with white stripe then there is a grey, black , red wire in separate plug
