Help! IP cameras dropping offline at night

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've had a Zxtech Monstervision IP cam running for a couple of years now (Zxtech Mini NVR) so I've added a couple of more cameras (Zxtech Primio, similar but cheaper) - but everynight at sunset at least one of them goes offline.

 

I'm pretty sure the network is pretty fast and it's not a bandwidth issue (I could be wrong) but it's really frustrating - any ideas?!

The setup is below:

 

35mb broadband (6mb upload)

I use a Gigbit Netgear 8 channel network switch

TP-link Gigabit (connecting at 866-ish) ethernet wirless bridge

Asus DSL-AC68U router (1900mb)

3 X 30m ethernet cables and I use 3 power supplies for the cameras (12v 2000ma) with ethernet/power adapters.

 

The Zxtech Monster camera never goes offline but a few minutes after sunset, one of the Premio cameras always drops offline and sometimes the other one goes as well.

The cameras can't be found on any device (IP search, IE, NVR).

Both cameras work fine during the daytime

THANKS!

Just a guess, but I would think power supply problem, if they have ir lighting. The lights come on, drawing a little more power that is unavailable and off one goes.
