It can be due to the WiFi connection being marginal. This can be a signal strength issue and/or an interference one caused by a nearby wireless devices that also uses the 2.4GHz. band. STart by bringing a camera closer to your router for testing - if it stays connected at all times you can try moving the cameras to different locations to get a better signal while still monitoring the area of concern or possibly add a WiFi extender that's closer to the cameras for a better signal.

You can use a smart phone app to check WiFi signal strength as well as possible interference from other routers but that won't detect non-WiFi 2.4GHz interference.
