So, I was trying to migrate my cameras from a Dahua NVR to Blue Iris. I was able to web browser into the camera (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and do a factory reset. Everything worked fine.
Then I ran into a problem where the camera kept becoming unavailable via the web browser. When I looked at my Ubiquiti Unifi controller I could watch the camera change it's IP address from what I had it assigned 192.168.4.200 (static) to 192.168.1.251, and then it would switch back and forth between those IP addresses. I could access it via web browser while it was on the IP address I assigned it, but never via the 192.168.1.251 address.
Finally with enough speed I logged in and initiated a factory reset, again fixing the problem. Rinse, wash, repeat a few more times. I updated to the latest firmware and have narrowed down the problem. When I set the date/time on the camera it starts cycling ip between those two IP addresses. But with the new firmware it does it so fast now I can no longer log in.
Has any one seen anything crazy like this before?! I'm going to take the camera down (dome mounted, so annoying) and factory reset it locally one more time, then I'm just never going to set the date/time on the camera...
