I've got a raspberry pi 3 running motion. It's in a waterproof case
watching the front door. Most of the time it works just fine, but every
once in a while the camera just stops.
simply restarting the service gets things going again, but not sure what is
happening.
The set up is the same as the one I have in the garage and that one has no
problems and never stops.
Here is a sample from the log of the one that stops:

For some reason, when it stops, there are two End of Event entries without
a Starting event. Are there any other troubleshooting tips to figure out
why this is happening?
Thanks
