Thanks everyone for the help. I left only one ACM-7411 plugged into my current netgear switch and it's been up for several days now so I'm sure the problem was the inability of my switch to supply enough power. I've just ordered the Cisco SF302-08MP which is able to supply 15.4W per port. It has 8 ports and a total power budget of 124W. The price is reasonable too.

@thewireguys: I'm using ACTi's bundled VMS. @ssmith10pn: The date/time is synchronized with NTP time servers so that shouldn't be the problem. @ando: I guess I should start looking for a better switch. Any recommendations? I'm on a budget. How's this one: http://us.zyxel.com/Products/details.aspx?PC1IndexFlag=20040520161143&CategoryGroupNo=B191241C-31C6-465A-A199-C7B3BB0F9248

Hi This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while and hopefully this is the right place to post my question. For my residential setup, I have two ACTi ACM-7411 dome cameras connected to a Netgear 8 port POE switch (FS-108P). This switch is then connected to my home router. All connections are with Cat5 cable and cameras are powered by POE. I'm guessing the length of the cable from the cameras to the POE switch is about 15m (45 feet) and the length of the cable from the POE switch to my home router is about 20m (60 feet). Here's my problem: After some time, (could be a day or a few days), I'm not able to connect to the camera's web server, NVR live video stops and cannot connect, and the camera stops recording video to my ftp site. This happens to one first and then the other one after a day or two. The only way to re-establish the connection is to reboot the cameras. The strange thing is that I'm still able to ping the cameras while this problem occurs. I contacted ACTi tech support and they suggested that my switch is not supplying enough power and that I need a class 3 switch. I wonder how this could be the cause since I'm only connecting two cameras and the total power budget is 32W. Any ideas?
