I’m occasionally loosing the feed, but the artifacts etc seems to have stopped? I can’t reproduce the issue. We haven’t had another really hot day like when it was acting up though. And likely won’t until next summer, lol. When it was acting up it was in the window in very hot direct sunlight.
I have three motion eye setups, the other two are Pi 3B’s (not +'s) and version 1 cameras. They run fine 24/7 with no issues.
This one is a Pi3B+ with a version 2 camera. Its all new hardware. But it has issues with dropping the feed. Has from day one actually. I changed some settings and it recovers most times. Sometimes I have to power cycle it to get it working again. I “think” its an issue with Motion Eye and a Pi3B+ but got nada when I posted the issue on his GitHub issues page.
At some point I’m likely going to swap the Pi 3B+ for a 3B, if I can find a 3B for sale some place. Motion Eye won’t connect on the 5G WIFI anyway. I couldn’t get it to work. Works fine in Raspbian though.
Anyway, to make a long story short I think the artifacts issue is gone. Maybe it was the ribbon cable connection or something?
