[All cameras] How to send a continuous ping to the camera to verify its connectivity stability

The ping command is a network connectivity function which sends ICMP echo request packets over the network to specific devices and waits for it to respond. You can send a ping request using the command prompt to any device in your network for a small period of time and if the device replies to the ping it means that the network is working and the camera can be reached from your PC. For more information you can see the following documentation: [All cameras] How to use the ping command in the Windows command prompt to verify if the camera is still ONLINE. But sometimes the connectivity will be lost when you are not pinging. For that you will need to use the continuous ping function, this will let you know at what point the connectivity was lost.
