Description

Hello

I'm currently using motioneyeos (2020606) inside a bird nest. I can't access it easily since there's birds nesting in right now :(

I guess my raspberry 3 is not well refreshed, since the rpi is inside a platic box, inside a wood box..

temp measures :

vcgencmd measure_temp; vcgencmd get_throttled
temp=79.5'C
throttled=0x20000

It seems really high, and sometimes i can't access it anymore, I got to restart it (unplug / plug)

Is there a way to reduce temp ? I've already reduce cam resolution to 800x600/5fps, removed motion recording..

thanks
