I am using an older (2015) TP-Link POE Switch Model TL-SG1008PE with the latest version of Blue Iris and several versions of nine Amcrest cameras.
However, about once a week, Blue Iris reports a lost signal on the newer Amcrest IP8M-T2599EW Camera.
This is remedied by unplugging and plugging the cable back into the port.

I tried turning off all internal camera functions that Blue Iris handles on its own, but that didn't work.
"Find/inspect" doesn't reveal any issues unless I am interpreting it incorrectly.
The other eight cameras never lose their signals.

I tried plugging in the cable to another port on the switch and the signal is reacquired and stays connected for a few days but then it is lost again, so it is not the port.
Is this a Blue Iris issue, or should I get a new POE switch?

Have you tried swapping out the cable with good/new or swapping the cam with a cam that NEVER has a loss of signal?
The intent would be to determine if there's a cable or connector issue.
