Hi 

I have 5 cameras connected to the WiFi and they are all operating correctly. I'm having some electrical work done and the power will be off for around 4 hours. I'm assuming that this will disconnect the WiFi and the cameras will then be offline. When the power is back on will the cameras automatically reconnect to the WiFi

That should happen automatically but it may be a good idea to add a UPS to power your modem and router so your network stays up during the outage. 4 hours may require a bigger UPS than normal. If the router is off, the cameras will run down their batteries trying to reconnect to the nonexistent router. Pulling the batteries during the outage may be useful.
