incorrect offline state after M4 firmware update
incorrect offline state after M4 firmware update
After firmware update of my M4 , wifi camera is shown in offline state in deco app., but actually it is online, connected to one of the Decos and works properly. If click on it in app (in offline mode), I can see wifi connection to the Deco :). So what does it mean?

What is the model number of the camera? How do you manage it remotely? Use the static IP and the port number?
Meanwhile, you can change it to dynamic IP, and reserve an IP for it on the Deco M4 via the Deco app.

As I said before, the Model of IP camera is CAMHI pcs112. Also, as I said before, my Decos operate in access point mode and dhcp server is runnung on the main Mikrotik router. In that configuration I can't reserve anything on Deco, but I can do this on the main Mikrotik router and in this case everything operates and indicates correctly. The question was why, if use static ip for the camera, I see it in inactive devices although the camera operates correctly itself. I think the problem somehow is connected with a new update for before it everything was correct with the same settings.

By the way, after the new update I have access to the Deco via web inteface :) And I see the log section. But there is no any interesting in logs for this camera

We did a test on our lab, with ISP router--Deco M4)))(((smart phone, Deco M4 works as AP mode; once we set static IP for the smart phone, it still shows online but with the IP address it obtained automatically, but once the lease time expired, it will show up the static IP I have setup and it is still online.
From the pic attached before, the wifi camera connects to the slave Deco M4 which is connected to the main router by wired cable.
So to do a comparison analysis, try to connect them via wireless and test whether it works.
Note: ISP router--Deco M4 )))(((Deco M4 )))(((Deco M4, all the Deco M4 works as access point.
Any updates, please let us know.
Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.

After today's updating deco app to the new version, it seems the problem's been resolved. At least it's shown correctly within active device group with dinamic IP as well as with the static IP

@RedRoger I have almost the same problem. I have a Deco E4 (set of 3). I have a Raspberry Pi that has been allocated a Static IP address. My deco is running in Access Point Mode. My PI device is always on and connected but in the Deco app it is shown as Offline.
I also have another machine, a laptop, which has a Static IP allocated to it. That machine too is marked offline. When troubleshooting this issue, I deleted the record in the Deco app for the laptop and now it is nowhere in the list. I can see no way to list it back in the app.

Here's ping result showing both the machine being accessible, while being reported offline on Deco

@RickyGoldsmith yap, my problem is also exist so far... For the short time, once after deco app last update, it was shown correctly, but after the short time camera again moved to the offline group. It works properly but is shown offline ...

@RedRoger Here's an interesting bit from today. My lenovo laptop is now automatically named by Deco as Hon Hai Precision Ind and is marked as an offline device. I was able to confirm that it is my lenovo laptop by verifying the wifi mac address of the laptop. So there's something wrong with how Deco tries to discover a client device.
