IP cameras that are restarted do not come back online.

Customer report:

Hi am running bluecherry 3.1.8 - there's been an issue for a few point versions where the server will fail to restore a stream after a camera disconnect or reboot. I've just disable maintenance restarts on my cameras to minimise the problem, however it requires a server restart to resume the failed streams. I did see this mentioned somewhere as an issue under investigation, hoping will be resolved soon.
The previous bluecherry server and old client worked reliably for me, however this is making the new version problematic.

Suggestions:

Add proper retry logic for handling temporary connection failures
Implement connection state tracking to manage reconnection attempts
Add TCP keepalive options to detect connection failures earlier
Add session monitoring and recovery mechanisms
Add better logging of connection state changes
