system blocked if sd card is filled up
If the users create videos or time lapses that are too long/big, the sd card will be filled up and the system will be inaccessible upon the next boot. Recovering data will be a pain and normally the whole system has to be reinstalled from scratch.
This normally happens because up to now, we have been using only one partition for user data and system data. One solution could be to partition the SD card, so that the /home folder goes into its own partition, and even if that gets filled, the system partition will still be able to work.
Here is a link describing steps to create different partitions in raspian https://mike632t.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/resizing-partitions/
