Folks,
Thank you for all of the recommendations I ended up going into Home
Depot and purchasing a digital timer, I have the thing turn off at 00h00
and turn back on at 00h01, problem resolved. I have a bunch of TrendNEt
TV-IP110 setup around a building. The cameras talk to a ZoneMinder
box which captures anything strange onto hard disk. The cameras will
run for about 7 - 15 days and then start dropping the video, you can get
into the camera remotely and navigate to the 'tools' page, select reboot,
click wait 30 seconds and you have your video back. There must be a
memory leak somewhere or something is going to sleep. They do it ran-
domly, the quick fix is just to power down the whole camera circuit (they
are on a UPS and all on a separate circuit that is powered by the UPS)
so I put the timer between the UPS and the cameras, now I will see
how it goes. I hope that takes care of my problem.

I remember one little box in particular that we used on the BBS gear,
I do not remember what it was but I recall that we would let it power the
system down in the wee hours of the morning then power it back up.
