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.
