When you are planning to start a vacation and will be far away from the camera, the Watchdog Setup will be recommended. Watchdog function will be helpful to you to avoid following cases:

1. The camera will automatically reboot itself at any time you assigned to avoid the progarm runs with some accident errors when you’re outside that can not reboot the camera manually.
2. The camera can ping a common website in a regular time to test the Internet connection. If camera can not ping the assigned website, it will reboot itself to avoid the case of lost connection which caused by camera itself.

NOTE: An external Internet error (router can not access Internet) can not be solved with watchdog function.
