    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So I infer from your elaboration that you are managing user additions from the "bottom" section of batch config. For further clarity I enclose photos of my Batch Config Tool showing what my understanding of your explanation is. So the user adds are from the top section. I just registered the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    What I see in the directory for Batch Configuration is 3.0.2.3. When I am running it and look I see 3.0.2.6. I do have it registered on the bottom section of batch configuration. I do not add the user under the ONVIF configuration. I add it under the system user section.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thinking back ONVIF did not work until I enabled it with the batch configuration program. It was only an option on Batch Configuration 3.0.2.3. I did also use a Linux ONVIF editor which only partially worked. https://github.com/Quedale/OnvifDeviceManager

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Note running the above mentioned Batch Configuration will trigger an update on the application. Do not update. You will lose functionality. There is stuff hard coded in the firmware which cannot be changed.

    Assuming that the cams are POE. Any of them outside? 1 - test each cable end to end connecting to the 4 port switch and to each cam with a network cable tester. 2 - try a different 4 port POE switch (guessing that is what they are). maybe the switch is over heating. Are the switches Gb or...

    POE Cameras going offline everyday at the same time

    I would assume that it is a faulty POE switch rather than a faulty POE camera. My guess is that the replacement POE switch will work and that the cameras did not get damaged. BTW I worked on the Milan Airport (MXP) when it was getting rebuilt in the late 1990's / early 2000's. It is a work...

    POE Cameras going offline everyday at the same time

    Might be stressing the POE switch. Wire up the network as shown below. Disconnect 2 of the 3 POE cameras and try again or use a POE injector and connect to switch A. Also what is the MFG and model of your router (router = switch, AP and firewall).

    POE Cameras going offline everyday at the same time

    All cameras go offline everyday at the same hour and don't come up until I manually power cycle the switch. AI answer: If all your PoE cameras consistently go offline at the same time each day and only come back online after manually power cycling the switch, it most likely indicates a problem...

    Move one camera to a separate POE injector and plug it in to switch A and see if it stays up.
