- Two Viofo 129 PRO cameras and a Tesla Model 3 4 Channel
I have an A119 V2 running FWBA119_MOD-6Ro_v4.00+26Mbps+Enhanced+Dice.
This camera was working fine in my last car.
I'm finding that the camera is always locked up when driving home from work.
The camera starts fine in the morning, but I think the 12V in the car never shuts off during the day due to the sentry mode being on.
My old car was never on for more than about 2 hours at a time, but the Tesla will leave the camera running for 10 hours at a time.
I'm guessing that if the camera is left running for long enough it locks up.
I changed the screen saver to off yesterday, and today I found the camera on with a still picture of the parking lot stuck on the screen (wave my hand in front of the lens and nothing changes).
If I pull power and wait for it to shut off, then plug it in again, it starts working again.
I wonder if there is some kind of watchdog feature in the processor that could be implemented to force the camera to re-boot if it locks up.
