I am not sure why is causing it to crash. But it looks like power cycling wakes it back up. To power cycle the camera, we need to walk down to the solar way and unplug/plug back in the green extension code. My guess is the root cause is realted to weak Wifi signals so I think it might be about time to look into switching over to a wired connection. Todo next week. ___end___
