Reolink Cameras
I have 8 POE Reolink cameras operating on my Omada network. All set up and work beautifully. However they are constanyl dropping conncection. Usually for 10-15 seconds, and never all at once. I really dont know what the issue is. All of my managed switches act perfectly normal as well as the APs. Im at a loss.

In isolating the problem, I would connect the most problematic camera using a PoE injector instead of powering it with the switch. That will help you determine if there is a PoE problem with the switch.

Plugged in a power injector and that dropped the connection immediately and never came back. So it didnt like that.

If you disconnected the PoE in the switch and then powered a camera with an injector, the connection should not drop unless the injector is incapable of meeting the power needs of the camera. There also could be a cable problem. I have Reolink cameras here but do not use PoE. I use a mix of battery powered cameras (which use a Wi-Fi connection) and wired cameras powered by power adapters. I have never had any connection problems.
I'm sure that the TP-Link moderators will have some more suggestions for you.

probably a dumb question, so is there a way to disable PoE on individual ports on a switch. That certain switch for this first camera I tested has all PoE ports.

That all depends on the switch. I use the Omada SG2008 switches here. The PoE version of the switch (SG2008P) allows you to disable the PoE function on each PoE port.

ok. I just did that on each port that is feeding a camera. I'll see what happens throughout the day. I've been having issues of dropout with a bridge kit. So I'm wondering if it's the same issue. Disabling PoE on a port that is also utilizing an injector.

Well that didnt seem to change anything. Cables have been tested on every one of them so that part should be good. I dont know what else it could be.

I would recommend you post a topology map of your network and be sure to include the model numbers of the Omada devices. The TP-Link folks will need it if they are to help you. They may also ask you for the model number of your Reolink cameras. After posting, don't expect an answer over the weekend.
