I have yet to debug this myself but just making a quick note here in case anyone else has also experienced this.
I've configured my Dahua NVR to do a daily automatic restart and I've noticed after the restart I no longer see any motion alerts coming through this plugin.
I suspect there is a bug with the disconnect/reconnect behaviour that's preventing the plugin from reconnecting to the NVR after the restart is completed and obviously no longer receives any further motion events.

Glancing at the source code quickly I do see some reconnect behaviour in the
