6 pin mini-din pinout - standard?

Hi all. I have 2 surplus cameras laying around that were part of a Xanboo (somewhat proprietary) system. Both have 6 pin mini-din connectors (ps/2 keyboard type) and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a standard pinout. A web search (not exhaustive yet) seems to indicat that there may be a standard, and that Philips may be compatible.
I thought I'd ask here, while continuing to search. I found a company that sells a cable that breaks out video, audio and power, for these cameras, so I could order them as a last resort.
Before I do that , I may try to find a Xanboo box, and scope it out.
I'm looking for power, and video out, to feed to my Osprey card, I don't care about the motion sensor for now.

Turns out there's an adapter in the box, that has power in, camera in, and video/audio out. I shoulda looked before...
Anyway, I'll post the pinouts soon, in case anyone else ever needs it.

Thank you for taking the time to research it. I am sure it would be useful to have available.
TIA

Not sure if this is a standard between manufacturers, but here is the pinout of the 2 Xanboo cameras I have

1- to be determined probably motion
2- to be determined probably motion
3- Power + (12v dc)
4- Gnd
5- Audio out from built in mic
6- Video out

Camera may not require 12v, may have internal regulation, but it ships with a 12v adapter.
