All but one of my Sricam robot cameras has disappeared from Blue Iris

It seems you lost all these cameras with "no signal" in Dec. of 2018 when your modem was defective but got them restored to operation by using the Sricam app as suggested by SouthernYankee.
Is it possible that your Blue Iris server and the cameras are not configured with unique, static IP's, all in the same subnet, and the IP's have changed perhaps when power has gone off/on or "glitched" these past months, causing the cameras to go offline?
What is the exact model number of the Sricam?

Thanks for posting again. Hard to believe 7 years has gone by since you last posted back in 2018. Not using the Netgear Router any more.
Model number of the Cameras is Sircam SP012.
All the cameras are configured with unique, static IP's,
I only have one Sircam camera working but is has a problem that during the day time the camera is displaying full brightness (white) but as the sun goes down the picture appears ok.
I know this camera is faulty and it works normally during the night. All the other cameras where working ok and going back a couple of months ago I lost one of the cameras and a few
weeks later lost another one. This continued till I lost all cameras and ended up with just the faulty one.

I'm thinking these 8 year old, 720P resolution cams have reached the end of their life. 
Have you swapped the 5VDC wall wart power supplies to see if any of those have failed? I know of a client's similar indoor Foscam that has had TWO of those plug-in power supplies go bad in 8 years.
If there's a reset button somewhere (on bottom?) you've got nothing to lose by pressing it for at least 10 seconds, perhaps with a straightened paperclip, and attempting to set it up again.
Good luck!

All the 5VDC power supplies are OK. Only have one camera working on BI.So what's the outcome?
Don't know what happened to the other cameras.
I have 2 versions of BI working on two separate computers both see the same 1 working camera. All the other cameras (7) wont display on either version of BI ???
