I have 3 cameras all with new batteries and the farthest one is 30 ft from the base station but for some reason all 3 will drop offline. Ill come home and check my internet and its up but the cameras will all be offline and if I reboot the base it will usually come back online. Any ideal on the cause or fix?

offline again. The fixes suggested can't be performed because I am not there.

Hi @Djjeffa

 

Is it possible the ethernet cable is going bad? have you tried to replace this and test again? Did you reboot your router by chance?

Thanks for the reply but I changed the cable and rebooted the router many times.

When did this issue first occur? Did you happen to move anything close to the base station causing an interference?

Nothing has been moved. It was down for over a day then recorded 2 events the next day then nothing till I reset it.

Have you tried to reboot the cameras by opening and closing the battery door & testing again?

Done that as well but dont think that would have been the problem because all 3 camera go down.
