How to make HASS automatically reconnect to a camera?

Development

Most of the time HASS works fine connected to my Synology camera. When it loses it’s connection though, I have to restart HASS to get the camera back. Is there a way to make HASS auto-reconnect to the camera?

camera:
  - platform: synology
    url: https://192.168.1.80:5001
    username: USERNAME
    password: PASSWORD
    verify_ssl: false

did you ever found a solution?

I get time outs sometimes restarting HASS and then the cameras never show up until I restart again…

The latest version of Hassbian doesn’t seem to have this problem anymore, for me at least.
