DCS-934L video stream from your device was lost
PeepMe:
Greetings! 1st post...
I have seen this error discussed before but I haven't seen the detail and exact circumstances so I am broaching the subject in hopes of a resolution.
I have 3 DCS cameras, 2 of which are 934L and 1 936L. I have had the 934Ls for a little over 1 year and the other for about 6 months.
I have had no issue with connection; set up etc. UNTIL YESTERDAY (3/1/17)
On the android mobile app ALL of the cameras are showing as connected (blue cloud icon) but I can only connect to 1 of the 934Ls and the 936L. On the desktop, ALL of the cameras are showing connected (green check mark) but again I can only connect to 1 of the 934Ls and the 936L.
The error I get on the mobile app is : "The video stream from your device was lost. Please try again".
All of the cameras are on the same network, all in the same house. Obviously, there is no issue with the network or the other 2 wouldn't be working. There is obviously no issue with power or the camera wouldn't show as connected.
-I can't access the settings, because it won't connect.
-I saw some people say they had success by turning off their mobile wifi, this has not worked for me.
-I was also accessing the cameras via another app to see all the cameras at the same time(not sure I'm allowed to mention the name here). However because I am not currently on the same network I can't say if that is working right this moment
(Difference between what I am seeing and the other reports is: I had only noticed the issue for iOS,I hadn't seen mention of the issue persisting on the computer as well, also it wasn't clear if camera was connected and if they had the issue with other cameras on the network)
Thanks in advance for any assistance. Let me know if there are any other details.

*Other than this I have been happier than a hummingbird in the spring with the cameras and the mobile app access(outside of some obvious features I'd like to see*

* What Hardware version is your DCS? Look at the sticker behind or under the camera.
* Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the DCSs web page under status.
* What region are you located?
Might power cycle the one camera and test again.
Can you access the cameras from the LAN side from a PC via web browser?
Can you access the cameras from the LAN side from a PC with the mydlink.com site?
What Mfr and model is the main host router?
What wireless modes are you using?
What is the distance between the Camera and the main host router?
How many other wireless devices do you have connected to the main host router?
* Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by that maybe causing interferences?
* Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Link> Use a WiFi Scanner to find out. How many?
I recommend setting a static IP address ON the cameras outside of the main host routers default DHCP IP address pool as a troubleshooting step: 192.168.#.93 and 94 and so on. DHCP
Test cameras with uPnP and uPnP Port Forwarding both enabled on ALL cameras: DCS Cloud (L) Series Camera Configuration and Mydlink.com

Thanks for your reply and probe questions:
What Hardware version is your DCS? Look at the sticker behind or under the camera. We've placed them in some not so easy to access areas after 3 months of no issues--will try to access in the next week (but if it's the same as the one I got at the same time it's A)
What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the DCSs web page under status. (If it's the same as the one I got at the same time it's: 1.05.04 (2016-09-09)
What region are you located? NE-NJ
Might power cycle the one camera and test again.
Can you access the cameras from the LAN side from a PC via web browser? Can't say for certain, right now, not on the network
Can you access the cameras from the LAN side from a PC with the mydlink.com site? I can see the camera, see it's connected but cannot access it. I get the loading /Connection to your device spinning icon and then a retry button after about 90 secs
What Mfr and model is the main host router? Xfinity Wireless Gateway 3 /TG1682G
What wireless modes are you using? Can you let me know what information you're looking for here?
What is the distance between the Camera and the main host router? The camera with the issue is actually the closest one to the router--maybe 20ft
How many other wireless devices do you have connected to the main host router? When not home just the 3 cameras, a phone being used as a camera and the Mycloud device. 3 more devices when at home.
Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by that maybe causing interferences? The same phone has been in the same room since I got the camera and has not caused this issue, it is the same distance as the modem and has been closer in the past.
Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Link> Use a WiFi Scanner to find out. How many? No new ones, there are about 7
I am wary about port forwarding but I will look into setting the static address.
Thanks

Modes like Mixed BGN modes and security modes being used like mixed TPIK and AES? Preferred modes are single mode N and WPA2 and AES only. Not mixed. Something to test.

uPnP and uPnP Port Fowarding is safe to use. You can always turn it back if if it doesn't work.
