Flashing blue light in cycles

Why is it that sometimes one of my cameras flashes a blue led repeatedly for 3 seconds every 2 seconds over and over. The camera still seems to work but cycles this flashing with is annoying?

I believe it is re-connecting with the base station. Can you live stream when it is blinking?

How far is camera from the base station?

@StephenB I don’t think it’s too far from the base station as my other camera is much much further away and does not have this issue. It’s probably only around 50 feet from the base station.
It’s strange as it seems to do it every other day which is very annoying.
I’ve added a link to a video of the camera flashing.

It's definitely resyncing.

Can you try swapping the cameras, and tell us what happens? That is, whether the problem moves with the camera or not.
