Config tool site not secure issue

I must ask, what exactly is "config tool"? Can you take a picture or video of this issue happening? Could it be that the camera is boot looping? That could be caused by a bad power supply or a power supply that is not able to deliver enough power.

Config tool is the setup app for the cameras. So it sounds like it is defiantly boot looping. I had to run out for a couple hours when I got back I hard reset the camera and re configured again thinking I made some sort of mistake on setup. Got it setup on the network and it was still restarting in config web app so I added it to to Blue iris and it just keeps shutting itself off and restarting. I took your advice and first moved it out to a different port on my switch and it was still doing the same thing. Then I unplugged two cams directly from to port to free up more power, still the same problem. The cam will run for about 30 sec and I get a no signal then it reboots and I will have signal for 30 sec rinse and repeat.
I personally only use Config tool to find the camera's IP address if it is unknown, and then use the web interface for all configuration.
Anyway I agree it sounds like it is boot looping. That is not a good sign. Have you tried a different ethernet cable? You can also try a 12v wall wart to power it and see if it is more stable that way.
If it is stable when fed 12 volts DC power then that indicates the problem is just in the PoE power conversion circuit. You can get the camera replaced on warranty if it was purchased recently enough. Otherwise get a PoE to 12v adapter on Amazon for cheap and use that to power the camera.

I did try switching cables after I posted before, same issue. I don't really have any interest in running a separate 12 volt I bought a good switch so I didn't have to deal with running multiple wires.
So do you think the camera is bad then? Its brand new I just got it delivered this week.
Then maybe just do it to find out if it's the "PoE power conversion circuit" inside the in-warranty camera that @bp2008 referred to. Using a 12VDC wall wart of adequate capacity (amperage) should suffice for that test.
Of course. Nobody wants to feed the power separately when they have PoE available. This is just a diagnostic test to better pin down the issue. At this point I'm not 100% convinced you don't just have an IP address conflict or something.
TP Link TL-SL1218MP PoE power budget with up to 30 W for each PoE port and 250 W for all PoE ports.
I have 7 cams on it. 3 5442T ZE, 2 E3241F-AS, 1 boobie cam, 1 T54Pro -ZE
I don't install them until I have them setup. I leave a length of cable off the switch for whatever I need to plug in randomly.
