Camera shows offline but is powered

public

Symptoms

  • The camera tile shows offline
  • The device has power and its status light is on

Cause

The video stream from the camera dropped and did not automatically reconnect; the camera itself is usually fine.

Resolution

  1. Power-cycle the camera and wait two minutes for it to reconnect.
  2. Confirm the network cable is seated at both ends.
  3. Confirm the switch port shows a link light.
  4. If it is still offline, reboot the switch port the camera is on.

Verification

The camera tile shows live video again and stays connected for an hour.

Escalate if

The camera reconnects but keeps dropping — that pattern needs seeo support to check the stream health history.
