Camera: 5442T

so i get home and one camera shows No Signal Failed To Connect
Happened mid day, no rain, nothing happened outside,

config tool - not showing the ip address of camera
tried restarting camera in blue iris - no change
tried find/inspect - no change
tried typing ip address in browser - does not show up (site cant be reached)
went to go check connection at switch, both lights at lit up like every other camera
all other cameras function fine

not sure what else to do here
 
Unplug the POE switch and wait 10 seconds and try again. Maybe the camera had too many dropped packets and couldn't keep up and lost signal. Maybe this will clear it.

tried resetting whole switch
everything came back to life except the one camera that was showing no signal

Perhaps the camera reset itself to factory default and has a different IP address, or the camera has actually died!
 
More times than not, this can be traced to a bad cable, or cable connection.
Did you properly waterproof the cameras connection at time of install as described HERE.
That includes using Dielectric Grease in the connection.
Did you use pure solid copper ethernet cable and not CCA of a gauge of at least 24awg.
Not "Flat" ethernet cables in use?
Why we harp about NEVER using CCA ethernet cable. | IP Cam Talk
