Dependability
How solid is the Rasp Pi for running 27/4 365? I made a camera as part of the door station and built a weather proof casing for it. Reason I ask is because one of my systems running OSMC has shut down a few times. Could be software issues, could be since Emby is the backbone - could be I over clocked it without a fan and had it on an amp. It has the 5v 2a power supply. If I install this as part of the door station will it be a solid protocol to run 24/7? If not I would have to figure out another way to do things.
Re: Dependability
The Pi is usually stable for 24/7 running. I've been running a few for over a year now, controlling important things. The only time they've been down is when I was rebooting them (or in one case, pulled the wrong plug 
).
Power issues are the usual culprits, inadequate PSU/poor quality power cable/failed PSU.
Overclocking can cause instability on some Pis. The Pi is not guaranteed to be stable if overclocked. A fan won't make any difference. Heat isn't the issue.
Check to see if there is anything in the logs to indicate the reason for failure.

Re: Dependability
Nope it usually just goes black. Sometimes it will make a frown and then go black. It has a solid power supply but I over clocked and was probably confusing it a lot w different stuff.
How durible is the camera ribbon connection? It will be buried behind bricks and fished thru to integrate with a bunch of other stuff. Will it be prone to scratching or corrosion where I should do the hdmi connect? I wish someone make a connection to run 2 cat6 instead

Re: Dependability
Yea this one shut down a few more times. It had happened with a few different power supplies also. I have a bunch of them and need more so looks like a switch a roo on the return is in order

Re: Dependability
I've got two of my RPis that have nearly reached 140 days
21:59:53 up 137 days, 20:33, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
21:00:03 up 139 days, 44 min, 0 users, load average: 0.43, 0.31, 0.32
they're rock solid and cost less than £4.38/year to run.
That second one runs on UTC all year round, which is why the clock is off by an hour.
