Well, I deleted some older archived clips and set each camera recording tab to cut the video at 8 hours rather than each clip. DB compact/repair went from 3 hours down to 1 hour 15 minutes. That is much more acceptable. Any tips to cut it down further?

There are just over 409,000 clips. What is the solution to this? I have it set now to do continuous recording with substreams then kick to the main stream when there is motion. Is there a better way? I doubt our system could handle recording every camera in the main stream and we would not have...

I was just looking back at my timeline and noticed that from 2am-4:50am I am not getting any recording. I have DB compact/repair set to run at 2am so I am thinking that may be the issue. The DB is on a NVE drive so it should be quite fast storage. I am seeing a similar issue with my other BI...

Last night, 2 cameras went down. Those are the only 2 that are not set to auto reboot daily. It seems if they reboot every day, the issue is not present. One went down at 12:21, the other at 12:40. Why does a daily reboot seem to fix the issue?

Switches are MS210-48FP. They are about 2 years old. With the camera in an offline state, I confirm I can still ping it and can load the web interface but only get a blank white page. After rebooting, power usage goes to Screenshot of cable test while camera is offline:

The UPSes are just small desktop type units. No logging capability. But we were having the same issue before we installed the UPSes

They are separate switches on different sides of the building on separate circuits and both are having dropping cameras. I think they are powered from different breaker panels even. We have 3 phase computerized roto-molding machines throughout the building that are rock solid, so I doubt a leg...

What is the method to troubleshoot that? Switches themselves don't seem to be the problem. We have a bunch of POE phones with zero issue

Camera network is isolated I believe. I don't have access to the firewalls to confirm that though. Some of the cameras will drop in groups at the same time, but sometimes just one will drop. Not aware of any multicast or anything else going on with the switches. We could probably put in another...

This is occurring on multiple new Meraki switches. No other POE devices have seen any issues whatsoever. Cables are all new Cat 6 and terminated T568B, not sure on conductor size or material but I can check. No punch down panels, cables plug directly into the switches. Some cables are as short...

We have the same issues with both the IP8M-2496E-V2 and the IP5M-B1186E. Nightly scheduled reboots of the cameras helped a lot but we still get one or 2 that go offline every day or so

They go offline in Blue Iris, but if you try to go to the camera's web interface, it just loads a blank white page. Once the poe port is powercycled, the camera pops back up in Blue Iris and you can log into the web interface. I have a ticket open with Amcrest but no word yet.

Yes. Blue Iris

We are totally lost as to why. Different models of Amcrest cameras on different switches. Camera webpage is just blank white. Reboot the camera, and it works fine.

Looking for some robust POE bullet cameras for a light manufacturing facility. Lots of dust but nothing too extreme. No need for any sort of motion detection or AI. Just a good quality, reliable camera. We have some Amcrest cameras that need to be power cycled at least daily and we are not happy...
