Thanks for the great photos.
Regarding the 12(?) pin connector for the pigtails. Presumably only 10 pins are used? (8 for Ethernet and 2 for DC power).
I was wondering if the remaining two were for an alarm input? It would be nice if the camera could support something like an external PIR sensor. I find image based motion detection unreliable due to moving shadows from trees etc.
The firmware says:
Number of Alarm Input 0
Number of Alarm Output 0
So that would probably also need changing unless there is a link on the PCB somewhere that tells the firmware it has/hasn't got support for an alarm input/output.
