Hi,
I have 3 IP video cameras that I use to monitor my dogs when I’m away. I have them set up with static IPs so I can log into them from my smartphone without having to look up the address all the time. I’ve been doing this for 5 or 6 years without problem. I just bought 3 Panasonic IP cameras at a garage sale and set them up the same way. The problem is, they work for about 10 minutes and then they shut down. I get a “conflict” message on my computer. (I should have written down the exact message I get or taken a screen shot, but didn’t. I can set one up again to get the message if it is important for troubleshooting.) No matter what static IP address I use, the same thing happens. Examples: xxx.xxx.0.244 and port 87; xxx.xxx.0.173 and port 8080, etc. etc. Meanwhile, while trying to sort out the Panasonic problem, I set up a new Foscam IP camera with a static address with no problem. So the problem seems to be Panasonic-specific.
I can’t figure this out. Obviously I am not using these randomly-assigned addresses for other devices. Any ideas?
