So a co i contratct with...although I'm retired called and asked if i had any idea why some camwears may drop out...or no longer show up.

Best I could answer is if you have an NVR tat says it will support 128 cameras, and your are using AI via rhe NVR you may have drop outs.

You can reaserch it, and with AI via the NVR xxx_mbps is not enough.....and I think they make NVRs with twice thst throuput....but could be wrong.

They have some newer models out with higher throughput...i think. (their are over 120 camerass on the sys.

Of course more detail would be needed but yes the AI capable NVRs generally reduce incoming bandwidth capacity by 40%-50% when AI by recorder is enabled

Example
Network BandwidthAI disabled: 1280 Mbps incoming, 1280 Mbps recording and 1024 Mbps outgoing
AI enabled: 640 Mbps incoming, 640 Mbps recording and 512 Mbps outgoing
 
Unsure what NVR you have.
But I know Dahua NVR, have to be careful using NVR AI versus Camera AI. There is a cap limit of bandwidth, ports, system resources if you only use NVR AI.
