'Execute program when device is connected

I have been tasked to make a program that takes a screenshot of our cameras (and other things) that are attached to our cars, every 10 minutes. I have essentially made the program, but they want the program to only execute, once the camera is attached. The camera is being connected to a computer via. ethernet and have a static ip address of 172.31.44.1. I've been thinking about pinging the camera and then run everything afterwards. The thing is, if the camera is being disconnected, then I want the program to not exit, but just stop and then go again, if the camera is being connected again.

The code that's being run is this:

do
{
    WindowState.GetWindowState();
    _captureScreen();
    Console.WriteLine($"Screenshot was taken at {DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay}");
    Thread.Sleep(10 * 60 * 1000);
    
} while (true);

What would be the best solution? An event that's being triggered? A ping of the camera? Perhaps a Windows Event?

Thanks in advance!
