Standard ethernet cable from router to the BI server. The cable pops up into the attic and runs about 10ft before dropping to the computer. Before that it was from the router directly to the computer 5ft away. I moved the router hoping for better signals but it didn't make a difference...

Hi Wittaj thanks. Yes I thought my old router may have been part of the problem since it had other quirks going on also (it was old) so when I bought a new one (ASUS Pro ET12) I separated it into different networks and installed ONLY my cameras. I was dissapointed to see the exact same...

Strange indeed, and frustrating. I originally only bought one to test drive and liked the performance and image quality so I ordered 5 more...3 for one property, three for another. The other system performs the same way and it has fewer total cameras and far less network traffic. No matter...

If anyone with this problem stumbles across this thread, my solution was to ditch the Amcrest cams. It's disappointing because I have had good experiences with Dahua's commercial stuff, but these residential cams are a disaster. I've tried everything to make them work without screwing up my...

What you are saying makes sense. To quickly test that i just disabled 5 5mp cams, 1 2mp and 2 4mp. I left only 2 5mp cams and the 3 amcrest cameras. The Amcrests worked great but the 2 5mp were buggy and delayed however they did not drop out this time. The 2 boavisions I tested were 5mp...

The part that is annoying me is the fact that it's only THESE specific cameras doing it...i've added 4 other cameras at one time without issue. crappy ones too...a couple of old boavisions, some no-name cam and even an old pos foscam that was sunburnt and had bugs and mud all over it...

It seems like that but I have ip's static on both the cameras and on the router. I just double checked cams, BI and router and these three cams are occupying their respective ip, as well as the others occupying theirs. I also just tried to log into each cam via web interface and they all work...

Thanks for the reply and I couldn't agree more, wired is much better. Some are wired at my other location but it's not as feasible at the one in question. I will say that even with the risks of wifi connections, this system has been very solid and stable until the addition of the new cams.

Greetings. I'm having problems with three new Amcrest indoor cams (ip4m-1041W) that I recently added to BI. I have no trouble adding them however I can not have them enabled at the same time. One works with no problems at all but when I enable a second one my system starts to bog down a...
