Best way to automatically re-initialize power cycled cameras?

[daykin]

We have a couple cameras in high-radiation areas which fairly regularly need to be restarted due to radiation corrupting the RAM. In #12 , it's correctly noted that after power-cycling the 'reset camera' button must be pressed. Is there existing functionality for this to happen automatically? If not, on disconnection, is there a reliable connection state indicator?

I would like to create a polling thread to monitor this indicator, and on a transition from connected -> disconnected, begin trying to re-initialize every 5 seconds. Or would this be more straight forward to implement in database logic?
