    Network Gremlins - Need Some Help

    I finally figured out what the problem was with the 4 port switch losing connectivity. It was cheap cable! The first thing I checked was the cable, doing a visual inspection of the connectors and along the length (where I could access it), and it seemed fine. As the problem got worse, I put my...

    Network Gremlins - Need Some Help

    Thanks for the help. I changed out the power supply a short time ago. If it fails again I'll replace the switch.

    Network Gremlins - Need Some Help

    @d5775927 @pete_c @The Automation Guy @looney2ns @AlwaysSomething Thanks for all of the speedy and helpful replies. I'll try to address all your comments in this post, which also made me think of another possible issue or two. The switch(es) are unmanaged. The router log doesn't show...

    Network Gremlins - Need Some Help

    I've been running a network of 10 IP cams for a long time without issue (excepting one cable prob), using the same devices and cameras. About a week ago, the gremlins created a problem, which I describe as follows. I have a 4 port switch that has cameras attached, and all of these cameras fail...

    Need Help With Network Failures

    Thanks for your good suggestion. First, my apologies for not returning to describe the final answer. The failure was a combination of two things, a faulty connector that worked sometimes, but not always, so the connector was replaced. The second issue was indeed the POE supply which was low...

    Need Help With Network Failures

    Hey Revo - I checked and tested the good list you put together and still have the same issues....sort of. When checking the ethernet cables and connections, I noticed that the connectors for each of the two switches seem a bit loose in the 16 port switch the connect to . I unplugged both and...

    Need Help With Network Failures

    @Revo2Maxx Good observation. Here again I failed to include all the details. I have other cams plugged into the 16 port switch which are powered directly, not by POE. Seems it's just the POE cams that fail? The cables are quality stuff, not CCA. Initially I suspected a bad cable when only one...

    Need Help With Network Failures

    @TonyR Thanks for asking - good questions I should have explained in my post and diagram. The 'arrows' indicate WIFI connections. The BI server is connected to the 16 port switch.

    Need Help With Network Failures

    Edit to add: the lan connections from the 4 port switches to the 16 port switch do not light up at all?? I have an 11 camera setup using Blue Iris but recently 5 of the cameras have stopped communicating over the LAN. The only thing in common is that the five cameras use TP-Link POE switches (3...

    What happened to my clips?

    Hey 8trek, first let me apologize for not following through by returning to my own thread to explain what I ultimately found to be the issue with my system (after weeks of trying to figure it out). I did almost all of the same things you did to figure it out. My first thought was maybe a...

    What happened to my clips?

    Sadly I didn't, still working on the issue but I'm grateful for your help. For all of the years I've had BI, I'm still discovering all of the hidden features.

    What happened to my clips?

    Yes I am looking at the 'all clips' view. I haven't looked at the canceled alerts list (didn't know there was such a thing. I'll go have a look, thanks for the tip!

    What happened to my clips?

    I have eight cameras and all have worked well for a long time, until yesterday when I noticed that clips are disappearing in the left 'clips column view (set to 'all clips') , but for for just two of the eight cameras. For example, if I manually trigger either of the two cameras, a clip view...
