Have you tried looking in "dmesg" after taken a picture or done a video? It could be working but also generate looping errors that depleats your battery faster. I think that however this will become it will need or some way of listening on error output. I am not sure "dmesg" would be enough. If we could find out the precise error that occur just before reboot.. then we will be able to make a more robust script/program.

A nother problem with the "reboot" strategy would be what to do if the battery gets fully depleated. Reboots takes about 10% battery.
