Hello All,
This is my first post here, but you guys look like a very knowledgeable and helpful community. I am really hoping you can help me out.
I recently began setup on a home camera network consisting of a server running Blue Iris, and 2 Amcrest IP2M-841 IP cameras, with intentions on building my setup as I become more familiar. My intention is to have these cameras as baby monitors in my young children's rooms at night.
One of the cameras is functioning well, however, the other is making a constant clicking sound, which in the silence of the night is extremely prominent. I have tried to contact Amcrest, but to this point they have only advised a factory reset, which did not remedy the problem.
I did find, that while the camera is wired to the router (and using the wired IP address in Blue Iris), the camera functions perfectly with no clicking sound. However (without even unplugging the ethernet cable) I switch to the wireless IP address in Blue Iris and force the camera to function over wifi, the camera functions seemingly correctly but the sound comes back.
Is this something any of you have heard of? Is there a way to remedy this? Is there an indoor wifi IP camera you would recommend I look at other than Amcrest?
Any help or words of wisdom are appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
