I have a few cameras setup at a holiday home overseas, where it is not uncommon to have the odd powercut.

I suspect the cameras power cycle quicker than my router because they fail to reestablish a wifi connection.

I have got around this by scheduling a daily reboot of the cameras, but this can sometimes mean the cameras are down for nearly 24 hours. Does anyone have any better ideas ? It would be good if the firmware could retry the wifi connection after x minutes.

Link>Welcome!

What Hardware version is your DCS? Look at the sticker behind or under the camera.
Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the DCSs web page under status.
What region are you located?

What Mfr and model is the main host router?
What wireless modes are you using?
What is the distance between the Camera and the main host router?
I recommend setting a static IP address ON the cameras outside of the main host routers default DHCP IP address pool: DHCP

Test cameras with uPnP and uPnP Port Forwarding both enabled on ALL cameras: DCS Cloud (L) Series Camera Configuration and Mydlink.com
