One camera worked fine now says network timeout.

I have an amcrest 32ch NVR with 16 cameras connected to it.

Initially only 14 of them worked, but the 2 that did not, were too far away from the router. So I bought 2 x network boosters, wired them inline to the 2 non-responding cameras and they then worked fine.

All was fine until yesterday, now one camera will not show, it says NETWORK ADDRESS TIMED OUT. The camera shows in my router, well I think it does, but it says LINUX device, instead of AMCREST DEVICE. Or could this be that another device has the same IP address? And if so how do I resovle it please

If not, I'd welcome any suggestions. Ive tried rebooting NVR, network switch, and router.

I do have spare cameras I can try swapping with if required.

TIA

What are the cameras that are not working? Have you confirmed they work under normal network type connection? Connect your NVR side to a normal port of a Switch or router and power the camera using a 12v power supply and see if the camera comes to life if it don't might be that the camera was damaged from the way it was being connected.. Does the camera support ePOE? or is it just a normal type camera?

Its the same camwera as the others it worked fine last week

The only potential headache I see as that 3 of my cameras were well over a hundres feet from the router, 2 of them did not work and this one did. it worked fine. So the 2 that did not work, I put an inline booster in, fiexed them immediately. But this one now comes up with network error.

I guess I'll test the cable first, then try a different camera, plus try this camera direct to nvr, if that fails I'll buy a booster for this camera as well

If the cameras fail at distance and don't come back with booster I would make sure you are using copper cables and not CCA if cca the camera can damage even at short distance.
