Network performance is slow.
Check the network cables, make sure they are Cat5e or Cat6. Verify that there are no loops or broadcast storms occurring. Check the switch's CPU and memory usage. Check for excessive broadcast traffic. Examine VLAN configurations.
Cannot access the web management interface.
Ensure that the switch is powered on and connected to the network. Verify the IP address configuration of the switch. Check the network connection and the web browser settings.
IP Cameras not being detected.
Ensure the cameras are ONVIF compliant. Check the network connectivity of the cameras. Check the configuration on the switch and ensure the correct ports and VLANs are set up for camera management.
