These have an automatic shutdown built in when there is a power surge or similar event. Make sure that your wiring is correct. Also, there might be a setting in the control panel which has this setting set.

Hi Bob,


Pleae try to check if if it is detected to the network. Then try to reboot the router for it to refresh the ipaddress then reconnect using ethernet cable.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Any luck?
I have 7 of these that need service for one reason or another. They began to fail shortly after the warranty ran out, and have recently begun to fail much more quickly.
Next time, before I buy 62 cameras, I'll make sure I'm dealing with a company who services their product...D-Link tells me they simply don't and that these are $900 DISPOSABLE units.
Please let me know, too, if you can fix these (various problems depending on camera include include motors not working, no image produced, etc)...I can send them wherever they need to go.
