I recently got full TP Link Networking and VIGI CCTVs installed in my home. And It has been excellent. But since the last two days, the Network Switch has been randomly cutting power to Ports using PoE, that is, ports which are connected to my cameras (found in switch logs), everything else works fine, The Auto Recovery can not do anything cuz it's totally switching the Cameras off. It happened two or three time a day on the first day, but became more frequent today, happening every 1-1.5hrs, and the Power remains off for around 20-30mins. What could be causing this?, because, it's not like the cameras are dropping bandwidth as they are wired and I have also checked by switching from "Speed" to "PoE" lights on Switch. It totally shuts power to those and just doesn't turn it on till 20-30mins have passed. It happened just now and my Cameras were gone for 40MINUTES!!!!! I can't compromise like that. All my surveillance goes offline, and I guess it can't be the cameras who refused to take power, tho. Please help guys.

 

PS: it can be a voltage issue as I have a stabilizer hooked to all my networking equipment.

 

Edit: I also recently upgraded my cameras to too, that can be the cause right?

Hi @vpsrathee 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Remove some of the not working properly cameras and test them with a shorter cable.

If they stay powered on all the way, then it is a problem with the cable.

 

Most of the PoE issues can be concluded to be the cable issue in the end.

So, try this first.
