The main issue which camera you talking about is it a WiFi camera or normal camera.

If its a WiFi camera

The cameras usually connect back automatically after power outage. Make sure that the camera has a static Ip address set for the wifi adapter under set up > Network > TCP IP.

Enabling auto reboot daily is another option that can ensure the cameras comes online after any such issue. This can be set under set up > System > Auto maintain.

This is also not a common issue and seems to specific to some routers especially after the internet is disconnected.
