    I have a dome camera at front of house.
    The LEDS went last night so i want to replace it.
    I followed cables and I see that (there are four) the red and black
    are taken from a transformer nearby, that operates the electric entry keypad,green and yellow are the others . I presume red /black are power /others are camera.
    It is run to the TV and I put on TV and I can see Camera when option selected.
    NOW , query is when i was removing the cable from the camera housing I
    inadvertently , lost a "crimped" plastic connector that fits into the power insert on camera. I have the 4 cables , if i replace the dome with similar , how am I going to wire in these cables , as I am without the crimped connector!
    I would be diy reasonable ...and will fit replacement camera OK , this is a bit of an issue. Does anyone know if you can get a handy converter type connector that I can wire in the four cables and the other side will clip into camera power supply side...Hope you can follow......thanks Paddy

    I'm no expert but make sure it's not the transformer or something rather than it being the camera..

    Your new camera should come with the wires already wired in and you'll have this or similar on the end.

    The existing camera most likely came like that aswell so if you follow the wire you should find the same on the end of it (that's if it hasn't been butchered already).
    Or, and probably your easiest option is to just cut and strip the wires on your new camera and join them up to what you have there. It's not the best way but I've done it lots of times when I'd no other option. Just make sure you join them to the correct ones and that the connection is good and tight, connector block or similar.

    Oh and as Pete said, check the power supply first. That's rule number 1 when checking faulty cameras.
