My guess would be that more details are needed. This is a USB connection? Are the cable and the connectors OK? An intermittent connection could do it I think. Is the camera timing out and turning off after some period? I assume you've got some AC supply powering it. Is the time period before it disconnects always the same? That implies a timeout. Is the computer busy doing something else at the same time? Can you capture any sort of log? It sounds about impossible to troubleshoot remotely, would it be possible to physically move the camera and computer to your location temporarily? Then put them back once you've gotten it so it runs for at least a few days. Can you have the computer turn the camera off and on to reset it? Just making guesses because nobody else is really.
