cam hangs after 2-3 days #294

About avery 3-4 days the cam hangs and can only be restarted by power disconnect.

Even Reboot by URL every 1,5 hrs does not solve this.

Any ideas?

Running on latest version.

@TungstenE2 I have 4 AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM's. They're not running the firmware from this repo, but for my surveillance project, 1 out of 4 of the cameras fails after about 10 minutes. By failure I mean the frame buffer pointer returned by the esp_camera_fb_get() function from the "esp_camera.h" library (Espressif Systems) becomes NULL. Software reset or even pressing the ESP32-CAM built-in reset button doesn't change this behaviour. The only solution is disconnecting the power supply and reconnecting it again. The other 3 boards are working fine for weeks without this issue. With that said, it is possible you have a corrupted board & need to purchase another AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM

I changed the board and cam is now stable for over a week, Only difference is the wifi antenna is now external.
