I have (4) IPC-HDBW4300E-AS, (2) IPC-HDW4300C and (1) IPC-HDW4431C-A. My TP LInk POE switch died and I replaced it with a Netgear GS116PP. Now, all my cameras come on and I can access each of their web configurations and get video just fine. After a few minutes though, I lose connectivity to all of them except IPC-HDW4431C-A which happens to be the last one I bought. I have disconnected all cameras, and even with one camera hooked up at a time to the POE switch, it will lose connectivity within 20 to 30 minutes. Again, the only one that stays on is the IPC-HDW4431C-A.
I have verified the firmware, and they all have the latest supported which I think is Andreia. I have tried keeping them behind my firewall and also allowed to connect to whatever Chinese server they want to connect to, but same thing. I did notice that the time server wouldn't work unless they were allowed to connect to the web. and some settings are never saved regardless if I press on save.
Is this planned obsolescence or are these cameras incompatible with newer POE switches? Is there a more detailed log? I have glanced at a Wireshark session, but I don't see anything that jumps out.
Should I try custom firmware?
