TLDR:

1: Look for the Braided/Twisted wires, they are your data cables.
2: Do a continuity test to determine the GND wire
3: To be on the safe side you can use a coin cell in a pinch to determine the positive wire by looking out for a voltage dip. (optional)

These things are pretty robust, I didn't fry the first one after giving it 10+ VDC in desperation.

What "counts" as an install is of course installing and opening the app then streaming for the first time or closing the app. Every little bit helps, thank you!
