I have had Blue Iris for years and never had an issue, I am currently using version 5. Recently I started to have three of my cameras loose signal every three to five minutes. One would go at a time in no particular sequence. I have tried everything and I can't seem to fix it. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled the entire system, even went as far as resetting the cameras to factory defaults. Still the same three cameras doing that same weird nonsense. All my cams are hardwired and use POE. All the cameras are the same brand. The three that are loosing signal are all on the same switch, so I am thinking that there is an issue there, but I can't for the life on me figure out what.
 
Make/model of the 3 problem cameras?
Make/model of POE switch?
How many total cameras?
Any recent occurences/changes that could affect the cabling/connections?

Hi TonyR

The switch is a TPlink and the cameras are Hikvision DS-2CE56. Total of 5 cameras, three are acting up
 
There have been multiple power outages recently, the issues started right after. I am thinking that the switch got fried some how.
Now we're getting down to it....
That's a good posibility and very easy to prove if you've got a replacement switch with equal or better power budget.

My next question was leaning toward other network issues but we'll cross that bridge later if need be. :cool:
