I installed a amc-ip4m-1028w outside and was working great for a while 6 months to a year, then I started getting network drops. Using 2.4 WIFI.
I have 3 other DLink WIFI cameras that are not experiencing this issue.
Sometimes this camera will display "ERROR: 8000274d (refused; check IP address and port) 0" Not sure what this means.
If I do a Ping -t, the camera sporadically times out for no apparent reasons.
Rebooting the camera has not helped. Did not see any firmware update to the camera.
Any help appreciated.

Hello and if I have not already said it Welcome to the Forum
First just so you know there is no need to block out the 2 last sets of numbers on your IP addresses lol.. Just so you know that is a LAN address not a WAN address. So if someone typed in your IP that you have listed going to any set of numbers in 192.168.x.x that number will try and access a LOCAL AREA NETWORK.... So If I wanted to access your Local Area Network I would need to have your Internet IP address and I would have to have the IP of your LAN forwarded or setup as a DMZ and that is something that you would have to have setup...
Ok with all that said... Sadly I can not speak about other Cameras that you Own as I don't have any info on them and I am only going to guess that it is to be HONEST not fair to compare them to your Amcrest camera that is a Higher Quality Camera with higher quality features... So what that translates to me is that the Requirements for your Amcrest Camera Requires more Bandwidth then your other camera and as such could be an issue... When someone has issues with a Camera it is easy to suspect that the camera is the issue however for my system and I am only speaking about my system here.. I found that 1 of 10 times it is the camera and only know this after I have rebooted my Router(s) Most times I can get away with a router Reboot and issues solved
About your problem today... One of the things I found in my Setup again I am not there so I can't really say it is your issue but I have ahd this issue.. I had a Wifi Camera working without fail for months then bam issues after installing another wifi camera but was not right when I installed it but after... Funny thing is this camera is from another company and has lower network requirements so they need less bandwidth.. I thought the Amcrest Camera was failing but come to find out my other cameras were taking up even the little bandwidth was enough to make my router unhappy... Then it isn't only that...I mean if you have other things connected like your phones, TV, Alexa and all other things that might use Wifi bandwidth can make it so your Camera don't want to work...
Then you also have to look at the GRID of Wifi in your area.. If you live in a high Res area you might have others that are trying to get the Router Ch your camera and router are on... They might have a Blutooth device that is on the same shared CH...
THere is a lot that can be the issue... Amcrest and other Pro grade cameras on Wifi require a good amount of bandwidth for quality pictures...
