My camera is Canon Ixus 220HS with CHDK 1.0(?).
Even if you delete files, you should not expect the camera to run indefinitely this way. It will probably need to be rebooted occasionally.

It will probably need to be rebooted occasionally.When I get a few minutes, I'll add this feature to the "ultimate intervalometer". It already has the necessary reboot logic.
I'm not sure that I will get to this immediately. Might be a week or two as this will require quite a bit of testing. You might want to look into one of those internet enabled security cameras that upload automatically to your PC. I have a $50 one that works quite reliably day or night any time it detects a change in front of my house.
Of course, but I'm a student and I didn't want to spend 50 dollars, because I could solve this problem with CHDK. Looking forward to your release.

Looking forward to your release.In the meantime, you could simple wipe your SD card manually every day or two until you catch your neighbor in the act.
Unfortunately that's not an option, because the last two remaining trees are about 150m away from my house.I will ask the guy, who lives there to mount the camera near his window, which he hopefully (probably) will let me.The SD card capacity is enough only for 15 hours, and I don't want to disturb him twice a day.A bigger SD card is not an option as the camera can't handle it.Thanks for the advice, but I will wait till the release.

Thanks for the details. You basically need to leave it unattended until something happens and then have (hopefully) enough images that have not yet been deleted to go back to the event you hoped to capture.
