I have a 5231 that I ordered from @EMPIRETECANDY about a year and a half ago, which is stuck in a boot loop. The camera properly pings for about a minute then stops responding. I can't get to the web interface at all now.
The issue happens if the camera is powered by PoE or 12VDC (or both and letting the camera choose).
In an attempt to fix it I opened the camera and did a reset with the internal switch. That seemed to fix it for more than 30 minutes so I then did a firmware upgrade to the below, just in case it was a bug, which completed without issue:
The camera, still not screwed back together, was working fine for 30 minutes or so again, so I logged in, went through the initial setup (locale, password, etc), configured the old IP address and did some basic video output settings (VBR, iframe, etc). I didn't configure anything else. It still seemed fine.
I unplugged the power and network from the camera and screwed the case back on. The issue came back, the camera is now unresponsive at port 80 and pings drop about once every minute.
I even stopped the services for Blue Iris and the SunriseSunset tool. I'll try a different network cable to a different switch (I'll keep using the same high quality power brick that runs my other cams fine though) and update if there's any change, but I don't expect to see one.
Is it possible one of the plugs is loose inside, or the desiccant is pushing against the varifocal mechanism or something else?
Thanks in advance!
