Okay, some may know from previous post I have over 30 cameras on one machine and have it running pretty smooth with very low CPU usage for the number of 3.1MP cameras. Well, those cameras are still working fine, but it seems every new camera I add isn't doing so well.
I added a camera the other week, just like I have many times before. They are the same brand (Longse), but different image sensors. Some are Sony IMX124 like the current ones, one is a OV4689 and one is a Sony IMX178. However, every one I've added has problems staying connected. I don't know if they loose connection because of a reboot or they stop responding and then reboot. I have tried different cables (handmade and purchased) and I have tried several different POE switches (TP-Link and Netgear). No matter what I do, they loose connection about once an hour. Sometimes they come back quickly, sometimes they take minutes. None of the other existing cameras are having the same issue.
Could I be a BI issue? Did I hit the max cams it wants to handle? It's only newly added cameras having this issue. The log in BI isn't very helpful, just the standard loss of connection and restored msgs. I also noticed that at times when BI is showing the loss of connection image in the display, I can't access the camera's web interface past the log in screen. It comes up, but it doesn't respond past trying to log in. It's not frozen, but not responding (if that makes sense).
I'd appreciate any and all suggestions for troubleshooting. This issue. BI is at its latest update and running perfectly for existing cameras.
Thanks
