Is the camera unreachable via it's web GUI or other access check, or is the NVR dropping the connection to it?
I had a DS-2CD2432-IWS that would stop responding every few months and need to be power-cycled via the PoE switch admin interface.
I updated the firmware from the 5.3.0 to the last 5.4.5 version and it's never stopped since, last started over a year ago according to it's uptime status.
What's the camera model, and what's the firmware version?
If it's old - there may be a fix to take advantage of.
The camera and NVR firmware is up to date. The camera occasionally drops the connection to the NVR. I want a script that I can use to automate a reboot of the NVR when a camera loose it's connection

So it's a camera problem, not an NVR problem?

Notes:
ResponseStatus is returned before the device proceeds to reboot.
Like I said this is " occasional ". It sometimes is a different camera. A reboot of the NVR resolves it. What is the stuff above ?

Too bad you're not on the I-series. The newest firmware update has a new function that allows scheduling NVR reboots.

A "reboot script" like this will work with any unit and firmware.
The bad part is that you are down for at least a minute; you can program it to shut down power daily, for example from 4:59 to 5:00, or whatever time suits you.

How would this be a reboot script ? This is a timer that shuts off the NVR and restarts it. Shutting it off this way is a bad idea unless you don't care about possible HDD corruption.
I'm looking for something like this (below) that I can run on my Linux box
curl -X GET -d reboot
When I run this, I get these errors

I already have a routine that alerts me when a camera goes offline. I just need a script that will allows me to reboot the NVR so that I can tie it all together...
