The camera is an Acusense DS-2CD2T46G1-2I and it will not power on after power was back. First time it did this, I went on location and saw that is connection with POE switch had no LED's on. So suspected that camera was dead. So, removed camera and powered it with 12v, and it was back on. Checked with another cable to see if POE is ok, so it was. Mounted it back in it's place, all was fine. Even changed it's POE port on the switch. So I left the location and then power there was down again and my camera is dead again, is offline. It's installed since May 2019 and has experienced a few power losses, no UPS sadly. Other cameras that I have there have no such issues. It didn't reset it's settings or anything. In hik-connect webpage I see that the other cameras have the same IP but this one has different IP... weird.
Having an UPS would help but not sure if after UPS goes out the camera will still be unable to start on it's own. Should I expect the worst..? How rugged are this cameras..?
