Continuous use for a long period

Hello, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 and an AI Kit Hailo-8L. Are they designed to operate continuously for a long period, such as several months or even years without shutting down? What should I be aware of when using them for long-term continuous operation?
Thank you very much!

Hey @Loi_Tran,

Yes, our Hailo8 is designed for continuous operation. We designed it to run with systems that operate for years, and the same goes for RPi.

Both are engineered for 24/7 embedded/edge use cases like smart vision systems and AI monitoring.

Some tips from my experience :

  • Enable the hardware watchdog to auto-recover if the system freezes
  • Consider using an SSD instead of SD cards for write-intensive operations
  • Set up basic monitoring for system health

If you need more specific recommendations for your setup, just let me know!
