Hello,

I recently purchased an IPC-Color4K-X S2. The camera works fine but I have noticed that the Auto Restart of the camera takes about two minutes when all of my other cameras are a few seconds. I'm curious to know why this camera takes so long to reboot? Has anyone else noticed this?

I have Auto Restart set to daily but I may change the schedule to once a week. What do you do?

New Camera
2026-01-19 2:14:37.753 AM Cam9 Signal: network retry
2026-01-19 2:16:11.088 AM Cam9 Signal: restored

Typical for all my other cameras
2026-01-19 2:11:10.133 AM Cam5 Signal: network retry
2026-01-19 2:11:12.952 AM Cam5 Signal: restored

Or if not BI it could be Firmware.

A number of the FW versions had odd habits.
One of mine on reboot always changes the bitrate to 8192 (I set it at 16,384)

"It must be when BI is detecting the lost signal and retrying the network.

None of my cameras take a few seconds to reboot."

I believe you are correct. I went to the raw footage on several cameras and they all do take longer. Case closed, thank you everyone!

Firstly, Hi! I have been lurking for some time and I have a question for you guys:How can I determine which port to use for a camera, or do I need a program to tell which port the camera is configured for? I don't know if this is the right forum for this question? Robert

Most of the time you don't have to touch it and default for camera and whatever VMS you use will find it.
 
Some default port we see running IP cams
