BI changes my camera's IP

Hi,

Can you please help me with this issue on BI5.
I have a wired camera connected with a bridge to my wireless network.
It works perfectly, but after a power loss in the video tab of the camera properties
I have the bridge IP showing instead of the camera. Change to correct IP, save and
works fine till next power loss. I have 3 cameras behind 2 bridges with this issue.
How can I make BI to keep the IP I set and not change it?
Thanks for any help.

That sounds familiar. Have a look for this BI5 setting for each camera:

If you have "Skip" ticked, try unticking it and save.

TimG, I believe that the "Skip initial MAC,HTTP,DNS reachability tests" should be ticked to keep the IP from changing, or am I wrong???
