I have 8 ADC-VC826 cameras and 2 ADC-523x cameras, along with an SVR, ADC-CSVR126. All 10 cameras are working fine in ADC app, on the website, and show up on the SVR. I cannot get them to show up on the 2gig Edge. They all appear, but go from “connecting” to “device is offline.” All of the cameras are hardwired (ethernet) to the same router that the 2gig is connected to. According to this: https://www.alarmgrid.com/faq/which-alarm-com-cameras-are-supported-by-the-2gig-edge-for-panel all of the cameras are supported by this panel.
Panel is connected to 2ghz wifi and the network tests all pass. Very strange. I am very proficient with networking… I’ve double checked all of the culprit settings I’ve found in the forums for this issue, but still, nothing.
Try a power cycle on the Edge panel. I’ve seen connection errors resolve after a power cycle.
If no change after the power cycle, try powering off the SVR, reboot the panel, and try again. With the SVR powered off are they able to stream to the panel?
also, after doing the power cycle on the panel, it shows everything is fine including the battery, but alarm.com is reporting battery not present. not sure how to clear that.
To confirm, which camera was deleted and relearned in without connecting to the SVR? It looks like all of your cameras still have their original installation date reporting in Alarm.com. None are reporting having been learned in since the last post.
Can you confirm the name of the camera that was deleted?
If you haven’t deleted the camera yet, please be sure to delete it from your account (under settings > video device info), then wait about 20 minutes before reinstalling. Do not add the new camera to the SVR recordings. Just try streaming to the panel with it.
I think this might have to do with the streaming quality being too high. Is there a way to find out the specs of accepted video by the 2gig? Maybe I need to turn down my settings a little. I tried to search google and stuff but no luck.
Once thing to try, if it hasnt been done at this point, is to select only 1 video device to be streamed to the panel.
Under Stream Video to Panel in Alarm.com disable all cameras. Wait 5 minutes, then select 1 camera (preferably not connected to the SVR) and try streaming to the panel.
Additionally, after adding only one video device under Stream Video to Panel, reboot the Edge panel (2GIG Logo > System Info > Reboot) . Once the panel has rebooted, test the live stream feature via Smart Home
No luck. Losing faith in the adc camera system. The SVR keeps losing camera connection too… It will either just be a black box or say no link… but the camera works fine in the app and on the website… which tells me it can’t be network related… plus I’ve checked everything network wise. its just bad at local streaming or something is set up wrong.

So that we can best assist, which cameras are you seeing this affect?
but the camera works fine in the app and on the website… which tells me it can’t be network related…
Functionality on the website and app means the video is reaching ADC, but LAN connectivity between the camera and SVR or camera and panel can be interrupted in ways that does not really affect remote streaming in the same way.
Can you provide which cameras and a few timestamps when you see the issue occurring?
Also, you mentioned an ATT fiber router, what is the exact model number of that router? That might help us look for any potential issues.
A few things…
I changed the quality settings down on each camera and it looks like the SVR is working as expected now and not dropping cams.
The panel is still not working with only one camera. I took a video but can’t upload video here. It tried to connect for about 30 seconds and then says device is offline.
If the video is small enough it can be emailed to support@suretyhome.com, otherwise you could upload to a video site and share link here. I can share with 2GIG.
If reducing quality settings improves connectivity that suggests bandwidth as a potential cause.
As for the bandwidth, the bottleneck would have to be at the SVR itself, because, on alarm.com on the computer and in the app, I can stream all 16 cameras at the same time. Just to confirm this, I opened alarm.com on two computers and an iPad and I was able to stream on all of them with zero issues.
Our internet connection is fiber with 2gb in both directions. If the bottleneck was at the switch or the internet connection, streaming from ADC would not work. I even tried doing it from a different internet connection at work to ensure that it was not just “local traffic” streaming.
Network topology attached… sorry for the crappy drawing, I don’t feel like building out a Visio.
The SVR is connected to the same switch as the cameras, so theoretically, the traffic would never have to leave the local switch itself.
