bkvanbek 0 Posted January 5, 2015 I have a Swann NVR with 10 Swann cameras. Two cameras have been going offline then a few hours later, back on. What's up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted January 5, 2015 The cams may be failing, the POE ports may be dropping out, or the cabling may have problems. When they drop out, can you ping them or view the image from a browser? You may need to match network settings, since the NVR tends to use a different subnet than your home network. I'd switch the ports for the two dropping out cams with two good ones at the NVR first, because it's easy. If the problem continues, try running a separate cable to one or both of the problem cams. Still dropping out? Swap the problem cams with good cams. If the NVR POE board is failing, it may be too loaded with 10 cams. Try disconnecting a couple of good ones to see if the problem cams stay online. At some point, the cause of the problem should become clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
