I am considering buying the below cable to connect our backyard camera to the POE switch in the basement...

I used the 568B standard consistently in all my crimpings. It was not like I was arranging the wire colors in the connectors randomly. The only crimps that may have used other standards are the ones that came attached to the cables. I did not check their standard since I was not even aware that...

Thank you. But this does not justify how restarting the switch will fix the problem.

Thank you. This is really eye-opening. Now that I Googled it, I believe that I used 568B. Yes, the wires are stranded. Here's a pic of my crimping: These cables came with crimps to their ends and some of those crimps are used in the system. I never checked to see if they are 568B or 568A. I may...

I don't know if this makes any sense or not but having to deal with this for several years now, I almost feel...

Thank you. I have not tried pinging the cameras yet, but, no, when the signal is lost, it's also lost in the cameras' apps.

Thank you very much, Fenderman. This is the cable I used. Admittedly, it does not look super high quality and was very inexpensive compared to the competition. So, if I want to test a better cable, would I be right to say that I mostly need to upgrade the cable between the switch and the PC...

I am setting up a bunch of Reolink and AmCrest cameras with my Blue Iris. I've set unique static IPs for the cameras. However, all these port numbers confuse me. In Blue Iris, I see two mentions of ports when setting up the camera (under the "video" tab): 1) Media/Video/RTSP port, and 2)...
