I have a weird problem with my cameras...

[Dseg42]

So when I plug in an Amcrest camera into a switch, I have a different camera that starts to freeze randomly and unfreeze. Not sure why this is happening. I tried a different switch, different ports, and cables.
The camera that cuts out randomly is the Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A.

But I am do not have the Amcrest camera plugged in, the Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A works fine.
Both cameras also have different IP addresses - any suggestions?

That does sound odd.
Not quite the same - but also Dahua and also linked to other devices on the LAN : 7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity
Maybe there is some specific sensitivity that the Amcrest happens to be triggering.

Duplicate IP address maybe?

Duplicate IP address maybe?

I checked for that.
Another weird thing is that the Amcrest camera is wifi, but my Dahua only goes out when I plug in Amcrest using a ethernet cable. If I unplug the Amcrest and just use the wifi, my Dahua works fine.

Having said that, I started thinking maybe my IP address was different for a LAN connection vs wifi.
Turns out i had the same IP ass my Dahua cameraa... This should fix the problem.
