I wasn't sure where to put this, so this is the section I ended up choosing.
Yesterday I had an issue. I was home in the morning and my step-dad showed up and I didn't even know because I didn't get any notifications. I used remote desktop to log into my Blue Iris PC, which worked fine, and noticed the computer had no internet connection. A simple reboot of the computer fixed my issue, but I'm about to be away from home for a couple of months and if the internet does this again, obviously I won't be able to connect to it to reboot it. My setup, while not relevant to my question but maybe relevant to my issue? is this.
Starlink router to their stupid ethernet adapter, then a cable from the adapter to my switch. Obviously the switch has all of the camera's running to it, as well as a cable out to my NVR, and 2 cables to my dual NIC PC. The internet was working fine on my main pc that is just connected via wifi, and it was working to my NVR.
Since this could obviously become an issue while I'm gone, and there's a lot of smart people here, I thought I'd see if there's a way to have the computer check for an internet connection, lets say every 10 minutes, and automatically reboot if no connection has been found within 30 minutes or so. I guess this could cause kind of a reboot loop with a prolonged internet outage, but if it's possible it's the best thing I can come up with to maybe not have this issue again? Unless anyone else has a better idea/solution?
