I have recently installed a PoE switch in my garage. This switch provides PoE connectivity to three cameras. I’m having issues with lightning in the area reseting the switch.
These cameras are anywhere from 100’ to 175’ from the switch. One of the 100’ runs is buried completely in conduit except for the last 30’. The last 30’ is laying underneath about 6 inches of mulch. The other two runs are the same with the last 75’ or so under mulch, leaves etc.
Lightning can just be nearby without a <1 mile strike and the switch will reset every now and then. The switch is plugged into a properly grounded, GFCI circuit and surge a protecting outlet in the garage.
What do you think I should check or try to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!
