I have a 22 dahua 4mp starlight camera setup running
Blue Iris on a Windows 10 Pro machine.
The cameras are connected to the PC through 3
BV-tech 10 port PoE+ switches
The system has been working perfectly for about 9 months. A few weeks ago, one of the cameras stopped showing a feed in Blue Iris and showed a gray screen and "No Signal." Over the next 1-2 weeks, 2 more cameras dropped off. The error is
Error 8000274d (Failed to Connect).
I can login to the cameras in a web browser, but they do not show a live feed on the Live tab, and after 1-2 minutes, I can no longer navigate through the settings and have to login again to make any changes.
The cameras all have the same settings, and their own static IPs set on the cameras. The cameras that aren't working still show up in the config tool, they just aren't getting video to the PC.
I've tried restarting the cameras in Blue Iris, I checked the
Cat5 cables, restarted the switches, and tried different ports on the switches.
I searched for this error, and I haven't found anything that has helped. It seems like a networking issue, but it's above my knowledge.
Do I need to buy a cheap router to handle the traffic better? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance!
