    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    I only use these protectors on free-hanging connectors I don't use (A/V, power and alarm dry-contacts). RJ45 goes unobstructed into the camera end and being protected by that thin cap with rubberized bushing and O-ring. I usually try to hear/feel that click every time. It wasn't a dumb question...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Thank you very much y'all, I'm going to get deoxit or something similar, open up the camera fixture and re-seal the connection (re-crimping the cable-side). I will report here as soon as it's done, it might happen early next week.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Hi tigerwillow1, This was on the menu today. I have 1 camera, 3 wifi access points and another tiny device on PoE feed, and switch is giving about 28W out of total 750W available, so it should be fine for now. I was initially worried not knowing how much these cameras draw, and was expecting...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Hi wittaj, Sure, I only trust my tester to show continuity. Cable was intalled by me mostly going over the attic space, so no kinks, almost no bends, and the bends are reasonable (well beyound 8-10 cable diameters). I do not remember putting dielectrical grease into the connector, so it's...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    I didn't perform re-patching yet. That's the stats from the camera port (I'm pasting only part of it for brevity): Last flapped : 2025-01-15 13:50:00 CST (00:25:19 ago) Statistics last cleared: Never Traffic statistics: Input bytes : 3197561416051 7592800 bps...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Hi, Yes, I terminated the cable myself. It's RJ-45 plug on the camera side and a type-110 keystone on the patch panel near the switch. Patch-cords from patch-panel to the switch are factory made. It's TIA-568B on the both sides since modern switches always do auto MDI/MDIX. I use the simple...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    For the record, I just lost camera feed/access again (it was streaming when I was writing the post above). If there is a way to troubleshoot it without removing from the outside wall, it would be very nice. Last syslog message: <182>1 2025-01-15T13:07:14-06:00 172.30.4.52 "SetCurrentTime" {...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Hi, I have a pilot camera installation: IPC-Color4K-T180 (f/w 3.120.0000000.36.R, Build Date:2023-08-28) on the PFA122 fixture. Since it's a pilot, I'm not looking on my ZoneMinder feed very often, basically my goal was to establish a stability baseline, and, well, the camera has failed me...

    New to CCTV - Can you give me an honest opinion on my plan please ?

    Hi Shaky, For the UPS consider getting APC and also consider getting capacity which would suffice to buffer these 30 minute power cuts. It should be powering your PoE switch as well, this way you might have uninterrupted video feed. I use APC 1500VA models (both rackmount and tower). I don't...
