**Problem:** The Dtrack cameras do not connect, rebooting either the Dtrack server on the downstairs rack or the secondary servers on the mini-rack behind the center wall does not fix it.

**Background**: We experienced this problem after there was a "scheduled" power outage on campus in order to test our battery backup generators.  This experienced this for the first time on May 23, 2022.

**Fix**: After troubleshooting with Jay Cochran at Mechdyne, the fix was to search for new hardware using the Dtrack software.

  - Ensure that Dtrack is stopped.  If necessary, close the program, relaunch it, but do not click start.
  - Using the menus, click: **''Dtrack2 > Search hardware (F2)''**.
  - A screen pops up that says it will take up to 90 seconds, click Ok.
  - Now on the main screen, click start again.  It should work now.
