Everything was working fine. My old router clunked out on me and I got a new one. New one had issues and will be returned but when i was connecting my CCTV computer to the new network I lost all my cameras. They all display the following;
Error: 8000274c (timeout; check IP address and port) 0
After removing the computer from the network i still can't get it to connect. I plugged my POE switch into another computer and ran Amcrest IP config tool and found 8 devices (should only be 4) There are 4 with the correct IP addresses that I set and 4 with random giberish for the IP such as fe80::9e14:63ff......../64 For some reason those I can connect to and run the cameras in the browser. When i ran the same tool on the CCTV computer those random ip addresses didn't show only the regular ones which I can't connect to.
Any ideas? ive been at this all week. The only thing i havent tried is taking down the cameras and manually resetting them to factory settings (Which im close to doing at this point)
EDIT: Update. It always seems to be after I ask for help i figure out the solution. My problem was that my new network had changed my DNS server from a .1. to a .50. Luckly I was able to use what i thought was giberish IP to access the cameras, change their gateway and IP to match and suddenly blue iris picked them up. I still don't know why I couldn't find those odd links for my cameras on one computer but i could on another. Hopefully when my new router comes later today I wont have this issue again or at least i should be able to fix it.
