Happy to have you aboard! 
You have to take reviews with a grain of salt. Studies have shown that it is more likely that users will leave a negative review rather than a positive one.
I am using old style Amysen Smart Plugs on all my cams. These are no longer available.
thanks…
When I was out shopping, my research found that TP-Link Kasa had the least bad reviews and most were user related, not following instructions how to set them up. I am using HS-103 and I believe now they have new ones that are a bit slimmer. Haven’t had any issues with them except once they were unreachable at my cottage. But that was more of a router issue than the plugs themselves.
thanks for the reply. I’ve order 4 and came to the same conclusion as you. appreciate your reply and input…
We have smart plugs on all our cams. Works great. Plugs do go offline once in a while but no where near as much as cameras do.
Happy to have you aboard! I’ve been using Kasa by TPLink for years for smart plugs, and they’ve been rock solid. Though, if you’re getting too many wifi devices on your network, you may want to think about switching to zigbee or Z-wave (requires a hub, like Smartthings or Hubitat).
As a Network Admin, I’d say that if I had a home router that needed to be rebooted daily, I’d replace it. Ideally, it would never have to be rebooted, and that’s the experience I’ve had with most of my routers. My current one started needing to be rebooted every couple weeks after a power surge. If you want to schedule a router reboot, I’d probably do weekly.
It doesn’t need to be rebooted daily. I chose to have it rebooted daily, I like things to get purged and start fresh. Just like taking a shower every morning 
Former tech guy here. Frank, there’s a lot of good info here re power cycles. One thing that may not be obvious is that using a smartplug on a cam has a major failure point–if your router/AP ain’t happy, you can’t trigger the plug. So work from upstream first.
Had a similar issue to yours with IoT devices dropping offline in my second house (next to in-laws, 115mi away) and didn’t have time to do deep-dive troubleshooting. Knowing the router should be the first device rebooted but not being there to do that, I acquired a nice cheap timer module from Amazon (2-pack, $20) that power-cycles the router 1x/week for about 5 minutes ('way overkill-time for the electronics to completely reach quiescence.) Months later, all has been good, and I haven’t lost connectivity on anything since.
The router is a Netgear mesh WiFi AX, the timers are Nearpow, and my herd of smart plugs are TP-Link, with which I’ve never had an issue over several years.
Good luck!
Yes you can, at least I can. I have set a schedule on my Kasa smart plug that feeds the router to turn off at 3:00 AM every morning for 1 minute (you can set your own frequency). The router and everything attached to it are happy so far. If you need to reboot a running router, just change the schedule. The TP-Link Kasa stores the schedules in the plug, so even if there is no internet they’ll execute it and bring the router to life. I once hit the off button on the router plug by accident and started freaking out. I was ready to jump in the car and drive for six hours to turn the plug on. Then I remembered that the plug stores the schedules so next morning the router and all my cameras and plugs were happy and running.
Hi, Habib! I like gaining some enlightenment every day, and you just made mine!
I’ve been using HS100 and HS103 modules for a very long time, and all my applications use a ‘direct control’ approach–manual or automatic (scheduled) control, from the app. Not even once did I suspect the programming was retained in the modules. I will have to test that sometime, just to play with it.
There’s a lot one can do to make sure communication and control are maintained on electrical/electronic devices, including creating multiple channels to connect. In fact, one way I use Wyze cams is to visually verify garage-door status after remotely operating them. Yes, the openers’ respective apps indicate ‘open’ or ‘closed’, but are they, really? Viewing with the cams (my ‘second channel’) removes all doubt.
There are cellular-network-connected smart plugs on the market, and for me their ‘cons’ certainly outweigh the ‘pros.’ I go for the ‘best solution vs cost’ approach, so WiFi controls meet the need.
Have a good one!
…however, there have been some reports on Kasa forums that if the plugs are left without internet for longer time (not sure how long) they’ll go in “local” mode and you can’t access them remotely without physically resetting them. Also, when tyey go into “local” mode the programming doesn’t work. It’s still there but it won’t trigger. It is an isolated occurrence and no one can figure it out why it happens and how to fix it (without manual unplug). Haven’t happened to me yet…
Wyze plugs also have a local schedule option, I wasn’t aware Kasa did that as well.
Somewhere on this forum I was told to stay away from Wyze plugs as having to many issues. That is the reason I went with Kasa.
If it could only make coffee 
Don’t say that to loud, WYZE will want to make a coffee maker next. 
Oooops 
For what it’s worth, when I upgraded to a WiFi 6 router, my cameras became much more reliable.
Anecdotally, I feel like my cameras routinely have multiple months of uptime with rare need for a reboot.
Sure, I may need to power cycle one, every so often, but it is rare… For example, I may have to reboot one of 12 cameras every 1-3 weeks.
