Periodic Blue Iris camera watchdog "storm"

Blue Iris running latest stable version.
Windows 10
Dell Optiplex 5050.
I have the watchdog set up for all my cameras
I have 6 cameras, 3 wifi, and 3 Ethernet.
The two SV3C bullet cameras will occasionally restart at midnight and generate a disconnect and reconnect email. That is expected.
The issue is that periodically, I will see many disconnect/reconnect pairs from most cameras, to the point where I have more than 200 watchdog alerts within minutes.
This last happened about four days ago.
I rebooted the Blue Iris machine, and have not had another watchdog alert since.
Since I have had this happen several times in the last couple of years, and rebooting the Blue Iris machine seems to stop this behavior, I am thinking that this is a Blue Iris problem, not a network problem.
Especially since other devices on the network show no indication of network problems, and the behavior will continue until the server is rebooted.
Any thoughts?
