Hi:
Is anyone using existing coax for network cameras? I'm interested in
knowing what equipment you're using and how well it works.
Thanks,
Harlan

OK, answers inline
Could it be the camera? The log seems to indicate the video stream stops
and this triggers motion's shutdown. Can you swap cameras with the working
system and the problem system and see if the random shutdowns move to the
other system. ------ Unfortunately, this is a fix of last resort. The
outdoor camera is sealed so I can't get to the pi or the camera. It's only
caulk so it won't be horrible to remove, but want to try other things first.
Is the camera and or Pi's power supply stable? Brownouts maybe affecting
either or both components. --- power is stable. power is plugged into an
outlet using approved power cable.
Does a motion daemon restart postpone the crash ? If so a cronjob to
restart the camera at an appropriate time may help. I need to troubleshoot
the cronjob I set up. It doesn't seem to be running * */2 * * * should be
running every two hours, but is not. configured using crontab -e as
root.
So I'm troubleshooting that.... Will post update soon....
