I agree to the above two posts. In addition I would take it to the workbench and power it up with a spare DB power supply and see if it does the same thing. Then maybe take it apart and check the battery. Here since taking off the cloud and running it through an HA Proxy have not had any... -
Is reddit right about copper cables between buildings?
Helped a buddy here who built a new home on his farm 10 years ago. He was cheap and went to using cat6 between homes which is working fine today.

New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera
My NTP time has been right on my Doorbell using the default NTP server that I cannot change. I think PFSense just sees a request on port 1,2,3 and re routes it to the server. That said because of your post I put the server name in the PFSense hosts file and rerouted it anyhow. Still using old... -

Much fun back then....and very easy to take over trunk lines. I had a "old" Commodore Pet computer as a BBS connected to 6 ventel modems connected to payphone (lines in a building I owned) in the 1980's Easy stuff at the time. It was just a hobby and never related to work. -

BI vs NVR
Software typically is updated. Firmware is typically not updated. Some folks like to tinker with their software and some prefer never to touch it. It is up to you what you want to do. Personally I like software because I have an IT background and like to tinker.- pete_c
