Jetson TK1 USB Camera disconnecting/unreliable

We’re using a Jetson TK1 development board to develop a device that monitors a USB video camera (UVC stream) for long periods of time and we’re getting seemingly random disconnects/reconnects of the camera every 8 hours or so. It is not perfectly periodic or predictable.

We see the following in the system log:

This is the camera:

Has anyone seen this type of thing before or have an idea on how to resolve it?

This probably isn’t the issue, but I’d suggest testing with an UPS or battery power which is not subject to momentary power spikes or brownouts (and I’d use a powered USB HUB) just to check if it is power related (the powered HUB would eliminate power delivery over USB as an issue).
