Wow, thanks dude! I'll report back in the morning. I also moved the sculpture to the other side of the house, away from the internet router.

I did have an EZ-B camera (version 1) that failed in a similar way, although it would only work for a few minutes before failing, not several hours. It also got very hot. (never did wind up doing a warrenty exchange because I bought it from Brookstone when they were closing out the inventory and I didn't discover the issue until they were out of stock).

Error looked identical though.

Here, use this. I whipped it up for you: 

Haha, Dave. That's hysterical. The wife and I watched Young Frankenstein on Halloween. We love Mel Brooks films.

@Alan Interesting. I just checked and the camera is cool. But it's completely exposed. No housing at all. I thought maybe the little bit of epoxy on the side of the heat sink was causing a problem but it's been running all night and it's still cool to the touch.

Speaking of running all night; the camera didn't disconnect last night! Yay! I moved the sculpture to the other side of the house and voila, it worked. Not trying to jinx it; I still need to let it run for a few solid days and nights before I'll be comfortable but it's working for now.

Lastly, @DJ, I've never known anyone as committed to their profession as you. Whipping up quick programs for someone you don't even know, on a Saturday night? Dude, get a girlfriend (or boyfriend). Or build one! Sir, I thank you.

Hey fellas, what are the chances that my home internet router and the EZB have the same address? Because my home router address is 192.168.1.1 Is that a common address for routers? Is it just websites that have unique addresses? Is there any way for me to know which router I'm pinging?

Duh, that was kind of a dumb question. As long as the wifi is hooked up to the EZB, I should be pinging the EZB, even of the address is the same.

I'll be honest, I didn't think a microwave would cause too much interence, but I was wrong. Even with the Surface and the sculpture 15 feet away, the microwave running almost completely stops the camera from functioning. It looks like Skyping on dial-up. Do I need to replace my microwave?!

Is your microwave built in or countertop? it could be throwing interference onto the electric lines, in which case you can get a cheap filter that goes between the power cord and the outlet. If it is actually leaking 2.4ghz signal then, yes, you probably need a new one. Hard to troubleshoot which the problem is. I had one of those filters for a microwave that was interfering with an old cordless phone. If I find it, I can send it to you to try. Send me your mailing address (my email address is in my profile).

[edit - I can't find the filter where I expected it to be. Probably got tossed when my basement flooded a couple years ago. Anyway, what you would look for is an EMI filter. Get a cheap one in case that doesn't solve the issue.n Something like https://www.amazon.com/eDragon-Protector-Outlet-Computer-ED70340/dp/B00J4Z7WBC

Thanks Alan, unfortunately the microwave is built-in and part of the convection oven (the house came that way). I'm not really concerned with iRobot functioning in my home without dropping the camera. I'm more concerned with it happening at an Art Exhibition like the one coming up in January.
I'm assuming that if the EZB is hardwired to the Surface Pro 2, interference won't be an issue but ultimately, I'd like to have the ability to pull the Surface from the sculpture and walk around with it. Maybe mess with people at the opening reception, lol. Thanks for link to the filter, dude. And thanks for offering up yours.
