Motion feed - colour issues after >24h uptime

Mon May 08, 2017 2:36 am

Hi All,

I've setup a Pi Zero W + NoIR v2 camera module at home and have been testing it for about a week using Motion, I'm finding that after a few days uptime a couple of unexpected things are happening:

1. The clarity / contrast of the image varies quite a bit day to day, I'm fully aware the colours will look a bit skewed since there's no IR filter but this looks like more of a contrast issue. Normally the image is a little on the bright side but a couple of times over the past few days I've checked the web feed and the image is very dark and what colour can be seen is very over-saturated. I don't have any automatic image adjustments enabled in the config.

2. Can't access web control interface but can still access web feed of camera images, ssh also works fine.

Has anyone had similar issues with this hardware / software combination? Rebooting the Pi fixes both issues but that's not a long-term solution to the issue :)
