This ia a week or so old problem but I am having trouble finding a decent wifi camera (not running cat5). I bought this camera and it came up in Blue Iris just fine. But
then some of my other Amcrest cameras started dropping out, losing signal. I thought the dual band might be advantageous but it just caused problems. And I would
go back to Amcrest but most of their cameras are out of stock. Why would this happen? I should mention I brought up a new Dell machine as my Blue Iris server and
it has a 3.4Ghz processor and 64GB of ram, so don't think that's an issue. Why would this happen? Can one band be dissabled?

This camera is for a driveway and most times a car is parked 65' from the camera. I'd like to see a little beyond that.

My requirements for a camera:
-must be wifi
  • must support onvif (Blue Iris)
  • have ballpark 100' night vision
  • zoom would be nice to have
 
Reolink cameras are pure junk, send it back. Reolink cameras use a non standard format of there frame and iframe values. you can read 100+ complaints about reolink.

What does 100ft night vision mean. Identify a face at 100 ft.

The current goto camera is IPC-HDW5442t-ZE

Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing -- variable focus 4 MP Starlight

Camera Sensor size, bigger is general better Sensor Size Chart
Camera lens size, a bigger number give more range but less field of view. Which Security Camera Lens Size Should I Buy?
