    IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E is responding intermittently

    All right, I guess that's it then, will have to replace the camera. That's a pity. Thanks everyone.

    IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E is responding intermittently

    Thanks, I've done that as well. Not all of the wires, but most of them, and without Deoxit, but the camera is really dry inside. It even has desiccant bags in it.

    IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E is responding intermittently

    And I'm guessing there's no way to buy a replacement control board for the camera?

    IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E is responding intermittently

    Thanks, but that's not it. The only devices on this network are my computer (disconnected from the other networks, and having a different IP itself) and the camera. If I replace this camera with another reset working camera, pings work fine. And this broken camera did have another IP before...

    But let me see if I can still try to cleanup the camera's RJ45 connector, as it makes sense that it could be the issue.

    IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E is responding intermittently

    Thanks everyone for the replies. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I took the camera down, and have tried it with two different POE switches and different (very short) wires, and also visually inspected the RJ45 connector for not having moisture/rust there. And the same switch and wires do work...

    IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E is responding intermittently

    Hello. I've had the IPC-HFW5231EP-Z12E for several years now, and it was working well. But after it was powered off last time, I can't connect to it. It does respond time to time (UI sometimes works, BI can sometimes fetch a frame or two), but mostly it doesn't. I've tried upgrading firmware...
