Most common issues are with cameras. When having an issue with a camera, the first thing Support will ask:
Did you Bench-Test the camera with a pre-made patch cable? Bench-Test Equipment - SCW Certification Course - Confluence (atlassian.net)
This helps eliminate the cable as being the issue. It will also give you a chance to look at the ethernet port to see if there is any corrosion.
We ask that this be done before calling into Support.
It may help prove that the camera and port are both functioning.
Isolates the issue to the cable or terminations.
