Lost all video after storm?Reset?

jpatz18 · Jul 19, 2018

We had a pretty bad storm here. Lost power and when everything booted back back up I have lost all video to every camera. But they still recieve power. Is there a reset on the cameras or anything? I have tried restarting them and it didnt work.

Is there a way to protect them from surges like that in the future is I have to replace them all?

Sorry, but :
Take a step back and read your post from the viewpoint of the average reader who knows zero about your setup.
Then try to work up a helpful reply.
You'll find that there aren't really enough facts supplied to create one.

The only assumption I can make is that lightning probably damaged some of your equipment.
How do you know they still receive power?
How are you powering them?
What kind of cameras? IP? Analog? Model?
What happens when you try to view or otherwise connect to your cameras?

How do you know they still receive power?IR comes on at night
How are you powering them? POE switch
What kind of cameras? IP? Analog? Model? IP Dahua
What happens when you try to view or otherwise connect to your cameras? It times out.

Are the cams tied via that POE switch to a NVR or a PC with VMS?
Did each cam have a unique, static IP assigned?
