Desperately need help. Switches lost or all cameras lost

[International784]

Good afternoon, I’ve got three POE switches and 8 hardwired cameras on them. Lightning struck here around midnight. I lost all my hardwired cameras that were spread amongst the three switches around 3:30am. I’m unable to ping my cameras from my laptop connected directly to the switches. The switches that have cameras on them have their usual amber/green lights. However, when I connect a data only cable such as my pc or laptop no lights come on. I connected my laptop to the other end of my Ethernet cable and am receiving a signal from a NON Poe switch in the house. How often do multiple switches go out at the same time? These are TP link SG1005P switches.

I buy the netgear pro switches with lifetime warranty because I lose at least 2 of them per year.

Do you pay for Netgear support to get the warranty? It was my switches.

If they are chained together it could be just 1 out or a wire interconnecting them or both. Check the switches at the switch itself.
