IP camera losing connection?

[grimluma1]

Hi Guys

My db power ip cam stopped connecting 2 weeks ago and i tried everything to fix. I bought another ip cam the same and it worked for 2 days and now its lost connection, just like the first one.

It clearly isn't the cam and the older one probably is still fine to use. Im lost and dumbfounded. It wont connect to the browser or the sighthound software that i used for so long on the first cam but did 2 days ago for 3 days.

Its a wired connection and the ip address are fine and fixed to that device on the router as it always was.

Im thinking trying the rj45 cable? I also tried to ping the device and it came back with 100 percent packet loss.

So to recap: The cam was working fine 2 days ago and now wont connect.
All settings are still the same
The first cam also did this
No image on browser or software even though it was fine 2 days ago and motion detection etc was perfect on video.
Just says "cant connect."

I DO turn my router off at night but this didn't impact the old cam for 5 years.

Thank you

I'm baffled.

Maybe test the original camera connected with a short factory-made patch lead?
