I have a 4 camera setup running BI. I have changed all the passwrods on the Amcrest Cameras, however I have noticed what is seemingly after a power outage, the IP addresses on the cameras change on their own causing me to go back in, sniff the IP address and change it to match on BI. Can someone help me figure out what is going on? Thanks in Advance.

you need to tell your router or camera to maintain the address...
the simplest way if doing this is using the dhcp reservation feature in your router
Type camera IP address in chrome/Firefox etc... then find IP section... set static IP address : most cameras should have this feature
Or like @fenderman said.... set static ip from router config
