2) Why is the camera's network connection unreliable? The network cable may not be properly connected. To determine whether the cable is working, you can PING the address of a known device on the network. If the cable is properly connected and your network connection is working, you should be able to receive a stable network connection (bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).
