Longer static time for short camera freeze

TJ, Naoki

In the camera guardian, the StaticTester is checking if the cameras are frozen or not. TJ told me that there is a static_time in the StaticTester, which is an integer time in seconds to check static. We found that the default static time is 5s, which means if the camera outputs are frozen for more than 5s, the guardian thinks that the cameras are frozen. Since the short camera freeze we have experienced so far is less than 10s, we set the static time as 10s. In the StaticTester of the camera guardian, we added static_time=10 as follows.

self.cam_st = StaticTester(self.camera_chans, static_time=10)

We updated the camera guardian and reloaded it. We hope that this solves the short camera freeze issue.
