Wierd Corruption after power outage

[dee]

My 2MP Dahua Starlight (Cam5) and another of my cameras (Cam3) stopped working.
Checking my router, I noticed that I was missing 192.168.0.209 (Cam5) in the client listing.
I also noticed that my (Cam3) now showed the mac address belonging to (Cam5) as well as 192.168.0.209, its ip address.
I corrected the data for cam3 it it now showed up fine in Blue Iris.

My problem is that (Cam) appears totally unfindable and unresponsive.

Any help? Any ideas?

Sounds like you have cameras going thru the router and the cameras on DHCP handing out IP addresses to the cameras.

Best practice is to assign static IP addresses so that they remain the same.

If so, then maybe you are caught in this that comes up from time to time when a device reboots like the router and BI is trying to resolve cameras based on MAC addresses:

SOLVED: Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS loosing the plot!



It sounds like you may need to power cycle the cameras and possibly factory reset one if the power blip corrupted the firmware.
