Thank you for your reply! As mentioned it was a double connection test, could be that the wireless connection ruined both connections. I'm trying one in wired mode only now with wifi antenna disabled. If wired fails aswell then it's just bad firmware altogether and not HW related id guess.. Then...

Oh crap.. @VorlonFrog backup cam died around midnight, strange thing is I was able to bring it back online, not with a power cycle but by pulling the ethernet cable waiting and then reconnecting it. Both wired and wireless reconnected. How strange.. Very much sounds like a software issue...

I must ask, Blue Iris, is it a one time payment for a life long license or just for a year?

Luckily it works well with my software, ivideon :D getting a smooth image as before

Just an update, both cameras still going strong since the problematic one had its disconnect. One thing I changed was to enable "H.264+" which is supposed to be a compressed version that decreased the bandwidth used by rtsp of the faulty camera as well as change both cameras ntp refresh rate...

Well played! And thank you, that comment made me notice I incorrectly input my birth year by 9 years !

Wise, would be an exaggeration haha just speaking out of experience. I'm kind of square that way. Either way it's definitely worth the investigation! Happy new year to you all :)

Luckily I'm packing both a soldering iron and a heat gun for smd soldering :D My understanding of Hardware tells me its as simple as 1/0 either works or it doesn't.. Having a semi-loose connection causing random wifi disconnects seems improbable but it's worth investigating. Randomness usually...

The spare one is up and running since I posted about it, until now it hasnt failed. The installed one failed once an hour ago, starting to suspect a fault WiFi board... we shall see, need a longer runtime period. If it is the case then I will try to swap the WiFi modules, having translated the...

Yes the camera is based on Hi3815e according to the link in the first post. Managed to open my spare one.. See the images Printed IPC-WIFI-38X19, Not that it gave a whole lot 4 sites in Chinese.. I've booted up the spare one to check how it performs on wired

Hmm loose.. I doubt it at full signal strength, but the other option is possible, perhaps I'll open up my spare to check the insides thank you

It's not the switch that is the culprit, it is recently added, I had the same connectivity issues prior to adding it. Just a bit more annoying to power cycle before. As per the images, the wall switch is on the opposite side of the router, the switch is tied to an outlet that is hidden in the...

Ah now I understand. My last resort is ordered. The camera sits behind a wall switch indoor so I can power cycle it. Will be replacing that switch with a sonoff touch switch that is wifi enabled so I can remotely power cycle at will and/or setup automation that pings the camera every so often...

Thank you for your response, I live in a house not apartment so there is a sufficient distance between my neighbours , as per the image no one is around to disturb the signal :) Care to elaborate on "It just needs a de-auth packet from something trying to re-establish connection." ?
