Outdoor camera on light switch won’t turn back on

[PScobee]

I have a nest outdoor camera and it’s connected to a switch inside the house. Anytime someone flips the switch off the camera goes offline but when you turn the switch back on it doesn’t power back up.

The only way to power it back up is to unbolt the camera housing, disconnect the power wires and reconnect.

Am thinking that maybe the switch doesn’t cut all the power or is there something else I need to do to repower? It is an older switch and I’m leaning towards replacing that
