Cam stops working after ??hours, after reboot all fine

[mdgarf]

Hi, Cam should run 24/7, have script to get image (every 20min) and send it out. Have 2 cams, both repeatedly stop responding. At different times(10 and more hours), I think. Have to power off, after boot up all is OK.

Any idea how to fix it?

1. cam 8:32h
2. cam 5:10h other cams yi, edimax, hik work fine.

Is the swap file enabled? The cam runs with little free memory and the snapshot is very expensive.

[mdgarf]

no just switched on, will let you know. thanks for a prompt reply

[mdgarf]

cams are working, I believe you solved it. thanks

I'm having the same issue with version 0.2.6. Right after rebooting the camera records movement correctly, I can see a couple of videos it recorded. Then it stops recording even when there's movement. Swap is enabled. Camera conf:

Around here the same, after a while the camera stops working, firmware 0.27 - BFUS

[roleoroleo]

What features stop working?

[catatonico2]

Stop being online, both for local and for app yi, restart returns to online. In the Yi home app it indicates that I have a pending update firmware but it does not take place.

[roleoroleo]

Maybe a memory leak. Are you able to connect with ssh when the cam stops working? If yes, please check the memory and cpu usage. Run top, df and free commands.

[catatonico2]

ok right now it is online, as soon as I lose connection I try.

[catatonico2]

I have lost the connection again, it does not ping the ip, the yi app does not respond or ip: 8080.

[roleoroleo]

Is swap enabled?

[catatonico2]

yes,

I can also confirm this. I could observe when ipc_cmd is run twice at the same time it occurs more.

The camera is then no longer reachable via the network.

[roleoroleo]

I don't know how to find the problem...

[Staini]

Methode 1:

1. open the ptz page.
2. make movements in front of the camera.
3. send in the same time with ssh multiple ipc_cmd commands (e.g. record and stop).

Methode 2:

1. disable the wifi from your router and enable it again.
2. wait 30 seconds.
3. repeat these steps several times.
