Power-Cycling Windows 7 PC: Pitfalls?

Per J. P. Gilliver (John):
I'm not the OP. I don't know about the situation to express an opinion;
from what I _have_ picked up about the case, I'd be accessing the
cameras remotely, i. e. not having a PC there at all, but I don't know
if that's either possible or desirable.

Possible, but not long-term desirable because multiple users would then
be using up *my* bandwidth instead of the bandwidth of the homeowner
where the server currently resides (the windsurfing shop that sponsors
the cams pays their monthly Comcast bill).

Short-term, I have to agree with the suggestion to migrate the server up
to my physical location and see what happens. If nothing else, it
might assist in localizing the problem - i.e. If the problem never
recurs in the new location, that would suggest something at the remote
site (which cannot be completely taken out of the loop because of the
radio link).

Hmm. Can you not arrange that the multiple users use up the *shop's*
bandwidth (e. g. by moving the PC there, if it's needed at all)?

Do tell us what you decide and what the result is!

As we journey through life, discarding baggage along the way, we should keep
an iron grip, to the very end, on the capacity for silliness. It preserves the
soul from desiccation. - Humphrey Lyttelton quoted by Barry Cryer in Radio
Times 10-16 November 2012

No because the shop (where the cams are) is on DSL and the ISP wants an
arm-and-a-leg to supply cable for a "Commercial Enterprise" (which is
basically a large garden shed where somebody sells windsurfing equipment
and gives lessons on weekends during the summer). Hence the radio link
to the server at a residential address.
