Camera Freezes

Thank you, they are both checked. And here is my watchdog settings I am not familiar with these settings at all . Also when the camera stops responding it is not just with B.I. I use advanced port scanner to find my IPs and it shows up in there as not connected also when it does this.

Same old crap works great all night then goes dead during the day. Brand new cat 6 cable and 12.6v from the power supply. It makes absolutely no sense.

So to clarify you shut down BI during the day, if so how are you determining that the camera goes dead, or is it dead when you restart BI in the evening. What happens if you leave BI running during the day?

Not sure about that one. I will leave it running tomorrow and see what happens. I did notice today I checked it about 9:30AM and it was dead, checked periodically through the day and it suddenly appeared again about 3PM. I use the program Advanced Port Scanner to check it because if it shows up dead in there it will definitely not show up in B.I. I'm sorry to keep bothering you guys about this, i think maybe I should just contact Zosi and see what they say. I did have problems with this camera right after I bought it and they remotely updated the firmware on it for me and it has worked fine until this problem. I'll see what it does tomorrow leaving it running.

I suspect that you may be right, moist likely some sort of fault with the camera, If the camera keeps working with BI running all day, then I would suspect some sort of built in energy management that you have no control over, lets see what happens!

Well it did the same thing with leaving B.I. running. I checked it about 10:30Am and it was dead, came back on around 1:30PM and went dead again around 2PM. I checked the voltage all the way to the camera and it is good. I even replaced it with a 2amp instead of the 1amp 12v power supply to no avail. I'm going to order a ethernet cable tester (my wife was supposed to order it 4 days ago and didn't) just to make sure it is not that before I contact Zosi. I highly doubt that is the problem though because it is brand new cat 6 cable, only about two months old. I will advise when I get the results. Thank you all for the time and advice you have given me, it is much appreciated.
