Camera randomly stops displaying #35

I'm using 2 Wyze cameras running RTSP. Everything works great but randomly the cameras go black then come back a few seconds later. Sometimes its just one at a time. Are there any logs to see what could be causing the issue?

No. The system doesn't really generate any logs. You have two basic options.

My bet is a small disruption of connectivity, then the watchdog component notices the failed feed and fixes it. This is usually a network problem or camera issue (with generating a continuous feed) unless you're also doing something else with the RPi.

Thanks for the feedback! These are great tips. I recently upgraded my wifi and it seems to be better. The raspberry pi runs on wireless and I believe it was randomly disconnecting.
