Is there a BEL audio output of any kind? How easy is it to add this on?
I'd suggest two classes of errors. One being a "warning", like a BEL that happens once upon boot. Just once, even if there is more than one warning.
The other kind of error is an "error", something that would result in a double BEL (two BELs in a row) every 60 seconds or so, even during recording. This would happen when something severe is going on that would really get in the way of recording and the BEL is the sign to stop the recording or turn off the unit for its replacement
The repair model is twofold. One, if the system is being maintained remotely by someone tech savvy, then the actual errors ought to be in the log file. Or if the unit is swapped, then the log files would show. But two, the model for the user who isn't in touch with a tech savvy person is to have them replace the entire Raspberry Pi and then simply just move the USB storage disks and USB microphone over to the new unit. Perhaps the old one is sent in the mail and one unit is always on reserve
It would be essential to confirm a working microphone attached and at least one USB storage medium with sufficient free space, and no fatal errors encountered in the process
Warnings can be triggered more readily but not just because something's just out of the ordinary. Well it's a fine line
