Camara networking issues, packets are not the only thing you can drop.
Video from your post #15 reminded me of a problem I had with a HFW5241E-Z12E.
Hikvision NVR manual said check this box and you can run ethernet cable to 1000 feet
Cool, checked box and roughly 750 feet of UV solid copper cat 6 cable later had a little bullet camara
grabbing overview pics, followed about a week later by freshly shipped Z12E from Andy.
Dialed Z12E in and was rewarded with nice license plate pics at about 170 feet from camara
Aghhh... daytime only, nighttime infrared no matter what i did stationary plates could read, however any moment and blurring ensued.
Shutter speed, DNR, WDR if it was adjustable i tried it, I failed.
Love this site, have learned so much from other members, but i finally gave up on this problem.
Added more cameras, at about a dozen cameras the 16 port Hikvision started dropping frames.
Wanting more bandwidth/processing power got a NVR rated to 64 channels.
they don't put 64 ports on the back of these things, so now I needed a POE switch.
I was burning thru boxes of cable making runs 100's of feet long.
Figured why not spread out a few unmanaged switches
now all runs are under 300 feet.
Short time later viewing video I noticed the Z12E night recordings were no longer blurred.
Z12E is now about 60 feet from a switch.
I believe the 750 foot network cable run dropped POE little enough that colour
still worked, yet power drop to much for infrared to work correctly.
