Error communicating with the network
Error communicating with the network device "Front East MC ". 5.0.1,10,835 Excessive packet loss from network device, the network may be too slow or defective, or this computer may be overloaded. Check the network and/or reduce this camera's frame rate.
Seeing a few of these lately. They are corresponding with day / night switching in the morning and evening. Prior to v5 these events were reported as motion. These are axis M3026 with external IR's. All connected via a dedicated POE switch. I do notice via istat there are peak loads on the network 12MB/s during this event. Any comments?

What make/model is your Ethernet switch?
You are using a Fast Ethernet switch, which operates at a maximum of 100 Mbps, or 12.5 MBps (b=bits, B=bytes). Your data throughput at peak times appears to be reaching this limit.
The best solution would be to replace your switch with a Gigabit Ethernet switch (1000 Mbps speed). Alternatively, if you don't want to do this, you could adjust settings on your cameras to try to reduce their data rates (e.g. by decreasing their frame rates).
