Intermittent and Frequent Signal Loss - Hikvision

[AdamW19]

new house set up with Wired PoE Cams:
(4) Hikvision DS-2CD2563G0-IS (6MP)
(3) Hikvision DS-2CD2365G1-I (6MP)
all with static IPs assigned.

powered by D-LINK DGS-1100-08P (64W power budget, cams come in at 62.5W total)

the PoE switch plugs into a USB 3.0 Ethernet port that feeds into a homebrew i3 / 12G RAM NVR.

Running Blue Iris v4.

Every cam will lose signal for a few seconds and then pop back up on Blue Iris. Repeatedly.

this same setup worked fine at my last house when i had 4 hikvision cameras, but they were older / lower MP cams. no disconnect issues.

Where should i start to get more stable connections with the Cameras?

Thanks in advance

You answered it lol - your cameras are using 62.5w of a total 64w switch.

You need more power. You are running to close to capacity and the cameras can fluctuate a watt or two and then you are ove.

thanks. i'm going to try disconnecting a half the cameras tonight to see if it stabilizes. any idea what power budget i'll need to run 62.5watts of cameras?

Go with at least 1.5x your total power budget: 62.5w x 1.5 = 93.75w (min).

i'm going to test out a lower camera load before i go and buy a new switch...but i was wondering if something like this would work:

its 10/100 Poe switch with 2 uplink gigabit ports. 124W total power budget.
my current switch is 10/100/1000 but the cameras are 10/100 anyways so do i really need the camera ports to be gigabit?
