Hello
I have a few cameras set up and one is being my problem child, Dahua IPC-HFW4239T-ASE-NI. About once or twice a week, it will reset from a static IP to DHCP so I lose insight into it until I hunt down the new IP and change it back. For background, I have both a Dahua NVR and a Blue Iris PC monitoring this camera (multiple reasons for having both). The reason I have it set up static vs reserved DHCP lease is I'm currently using a crappy Comcast router for my DHCP server and that kept dropping the reserved leases and/or giving our IPs that were reserved to other devices. Got tired of fooling with it so I shrunk the scope size and put the static IPs outside of it. Switching to FIOs in the near future so all of this "may" go away if I can switch back to DHCP, but I'd still like to figure out what is going on.
I can't figure out if the issue is coming from the camera itself (it's not resetting to defaults or it would be getting a 192.168.xxx.xxx address and I'm using 10.1.10.xxx), the NVR, or Blue Iris. I don't believe I'm pushing any configs from either BI or the NVR unless there's a hidden config I don't know about. Anyone have any insight into why this is happening? Thanks!
