you are not experiencing the dreaded fine offset firmware lockups.  your 
comm failures are almost certainly due to voltage/current problems on the 
pi.

please try the following tests:

test 0: next time you lose comms to the console, do not reboot the pi, and 
do not restart weewx.  just unplug the console from the pi then plug it 
back in.  comms should return, and weewx should recover.

test 1: remove all of the cameras and let the system run for a week

test 2: put a powered usb hub between the weather station console and the 
pi and let the system run for a week

i'll bet the comm problems go away when you remove the cameras or add the 
powered hub
