Greetings,
I bought a couple more HS-CAM-O devices with the plan of hard-wiring them for reliability.
I went through the app configuration for one of them, no problem, HS found it and all was well with the exception that HS did not update the camera password from the default. No matter, I connected to the camera directly and set the password and assigned a fixed IP. All was well. I could see the camera on HS4, and on Blue Iris. At this point I left the camera hooked up with the plan of installing it this morning. It is connected to the same ethernet switch as the HS server. No reason to think the network hardware has problems.
Unfortunately, this morning, the camera was not visible on the network by any means including checking the router. The green LED was lit. A power cycle brought it back. It has the same static IP, password etc, so the settings did seem to "stick". I did not wiggle cables, power cycle any network hardware etc. All I did was power cycle the camera.
I am not highly motivated to spend half an hour up a long ladder in the snow installing this thing if it is likely to be unreliable.
What to do?????
