But that would be cause to make a service call since it can’t phone home… No “heartbeat”.
However, it would be more unfortunate if the lens happened to become really dirty, with a paint-like film of dirt from the rain… Heartbeat alive, checks in, etc. Supposedly no footage or imagery leaves those devices, so shouldn’t know whether or not the camera fully functions.
