Capture stops capturing after few days

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Any idea on why capturing just stops after few days. Capturing mode still says capturing but latest picture taken date and time is wrong. This has happened 3 times now, I have a time-lapse for every 15 minutes, it will be fine for few days and then all 3 times, at night it seems to just stop capturing.

The capturing itself is done with raspistill. Sometimes we experienced the same problem, that capturing just stops. The reasons were mostly:

  • Problem with SD-Card (full / filesystem error / ...)
  • Problem with the camera connection (bad contact of the ribbon cable)

Maybe we add a better monitoring of the raspistill process (monitor if it is still active, restart automatically if not, catch output as Log-File, ...) to figure out, whats going on here
