Just want to share solution I discovered to circumvent a bootloop that suddenly happened to two cameras at almost the same time (after 4 years of good operation).
They both boot until the IR-leds light up, after which the device reboots.
Initially I thought a power/cable failure would cause the problem, since two cameras went into this state at exactly the same time.
After ruling out my initial thoughts, I tried a hard reset on one of the cameras. This made the camera accessible again (activation screen appeared).
I reinstalled the old settings en rebooted the camera, finding out it went into a bootloop again.
To make a long story short: If I reinstall all settings EXCEPT a change to the HTTP/HTTPS ports, both camera's work fine, also after a reboot / power-off/on.
As soon as I change the portnumbers, the camera go into a bootloop after a reboot.
Very strange since different portnumbers has been working for 4 years including many reboots.
Hope this helps others to give their IP-cams a second life!
