I have 4 cameras connected to a SWANN DVR that are recording to BlueIris. About once per day one or more of the cameras requires a "Reset" from the application (IOS). The symptom is that the camera shows a static, pixelated image from whenever it stopped being recorded by BI. Any ideas on cause? Can cameras be reset automatically every x hours/days?
Cameras require reset daily

What happens if you have BI issue a "restart" to one of the failing cameras?
Does that work for your purpose?
(hover over cam live image, right click, then left click on "restart camera")

A restart works the same as a reset, it fixes the problem. I doubt that the camera can really be restarted from BI though.
iPhone app. But I can do the same from the BI web interface using right-click Restart Camera

I am going to use the settings that reset the camera every x hours, and he setting that resets it when there is a connection timeout. Will see if that at least requires less intervention.
It can, which is why I asked if a manual restart works.
I was using Windows Task scheduler to send this HTTP command below to my bluebird box camera every hour. Just sub in your BI IP, port, camera short name, BI user and BI password.
EDIT 8/12 0729 CDT: NOTE: In BI "web server" => "Advanced" have "use secure session keys and login page" UNchecked.
