Network dying after adding 1 tapo camera on a NVR CCTV.
I have a Deco mesh network composed by:
- 2x M9 Plus
- 3x E4R
I have:
- a few Tplink Tapo cameras c310 and c210.
- and a few generic Chinese camera units
So far my network works fine.
I recently acquired a high end NVR CCTV device to record the streams from all my cameras.
The problem is:
Scenario 1.
When I add a single Tplink camera to NVR, my network starts dying.
Several unrelated devices starts disconnecting from the network.
The images on the CCTV starts lagging and dropping.
When I remove the Tplink camera, network goes back to normal.
Scenario 2.
When I add only the generic Chinese units, my network continues to work and I can see the image of the cameras flawlessly on the CCTV system.
With this we can conclude that my tplink Deco network is facing problems when I start continuously streaming a single tplink Camera to my CCTV system.
Important to highlight that other devices, unrelated to cameras, such as TVs, IOTs, and so on start disconnecting.
This is very frustating as I wouldn't expect this type of issue specially when cameras and network devices are from the same manufacturer.
