Error 8000274c Fail to connect

[Gary Pedersen]

After a power outage, my cameras show “Error 8000274c fail to connect.” I can’t seem to find any cameras when I try to log into them. It must be an IP address configuration issue but it looks like my Ethernet is on the “same page” with respect to the IP address. So I am a bit at a loss to figure it out. Perhaps the easiest way is to simply reinstall the cameras? Any suggestions would be most helpful?

More info needed:

To what do the cameras "connect" when working OK? NVR? Computer?

 

[Gary Pedersen]

Desktop computer.

Desktop computer.

Are you still using Blue Iris as you did in Oct. 2018 when you joined IPCT?

 

[Gary Pedersen]

Yes still using Blue Iris.

Yes still using Blue Iris.

That info belonged in your first post!

Anyway, is the LAN IP of your BI server static?
If so, what is that IP?
Can you ping ANY cam from the BI server in a command line window?
Are the cams' IP's static as well?

 

[Gary Pedersen]

Blue Iris LAN IP is static. IP is 192.168.1.100 port 81. Camera IP addresses are static as well 3 cameras in total on IP addresses 192.168.101 through to 103. Sorry, not computer literate enough to “ping.”

I did find out how to ping a camera. Packets sent out show that some are lost. First one 4 sent only 3 received, second one showed 4 sent and only 2 received. Third showed 4 packets sent only 3 received.

How are cams powered? POE switch?
A sketch of your network (cams=>switch=>PC=>router. etc.) would help so I can better assist and assist more quickly.

Imagine if someone is asking YOU how to start their tractor and you have no idea if it's gas, Diesel, hydrostatic transmission, or gearbox/clutch, etc..
Try to paint us a verbal picture of what you have so we don't have to extract the info from you a post/reply at a time.

Thanks for your patience on this. Sorry that I’m not up to speed on this subject. But I think the issue has been identified and it is an Ethernet switch issue. Thanks again.
