VIGI cameras intermittent connections
Good day,
I am having some intermittent issues with cameras connecting.
My setup consists of;
2-off C300 - 6mm
2-off C300 - 4mm
2-off C400 - 4mm
2-off C400 - 2.8mm
POE Switch - Tenda TEF1109P-8- 102w 30w max per channel.
TP Link AC750 router
Elitedesk G800 PC
I am able to connect each camera using a small 1m long CAT6 Solid UTP 23AWG cable and they power up and are visible in Vigi Security manager.
So I have confirmed they function.
Once I add any cable longer than this then I have random connections working. i.e. a camera will connect one day and the next it will not be visible in the app and show offline. This applies to the Vigi App on the phone as well.
All lights on the switch show as well as the cameras powering up with the 2 clicks while booting.
In these cases, I am able to ping the cameras.
I have set them as static IP's beginning 192.168.xxx.xxx
My router is set on DHCP - due to my fibre provider.
What I have tried was to purchase a different Cat6 cable and using a short length, this picks up and connects on my desk but the longer lengths they do not connect 15m to 25m long.
