Cam freezes after some time and then restarts

[bin101]

The problem is most likely to be reproduced in stream mode, but it also occurs in snapshot mode under circumstances unknown to me. The higher the resolution selected, the faster the cam freezes and then restarts by itself. I therefore suspect memory problems?

The cam is connected via an external wifi antenna. I have re-soldered the resistor accordingly.

Perhaps my PSRAM is faulty

Hello @bin101 . Yes, this is RAM issue. The current software version 1.0.3-rc2 should already solve these problems

[bin101]

@johnyHV It got better but still not 100% reliable:

[johnyHV]

Can you send me fuul log ? From MCU start to MCU reboot ? My camera running an hour without a problem.

[bin101]

@johnyHV send it to your Gmail address

[johnyHV]

@bin101 I analyzed your logs. Video streaming is generally a complex task, especially when combined with sending photos to the backend. It uses a large amount of RAM and computational CPU performance. In the latest version of the firmware that I just released, the issues you had in the logs should be resolved. Currently, ESP IDF 4.7 is being used. There is a newer version, ESP IDF 5.1, which I works to update to, but minor adjustments to the source code are needed. I anticipate that upgrading to ESP IDF 5.1 will increase the stability and reliability of the device, as I suspect that ESP IDF 4.7 has significant memory leaks that I unfortunately cannot control.

[johnyHV]

Hello @bin101 I published new release, 1.1.0-rc1. In this version is used new ESP IDF library, and new version of ESPAsyncWebServer. This changes make better performance and stability. Can you tested it please ?

[bin101]

I will

[bin101]

@johnyHV uptime seems to be improved without memory related reboots but now I have Wifi issues:
