EOS T6i WiFi question

Hi all-

My use case is a bit unusual-

The goal is to mount the camera at 9 feet high via a ceiling mount, powered with the AC adapter. I wont have access to the camera without a ladder. I want to control the camera as needed with an iPad, and just operate the camera with the app. The shot is always the same (corperate environment).

In my testing, i was able to connect the camera using the Canon connect app, and take a picture. If i close the app (not disconnect the camera), the camera goes into a waiting mode for the camera to re-connect. The camera is connected to a WiFi network.

My question is- can i just leave it in this 'waiting to reconnect' state as long as needed?  This could go for days a time with no connection.  I left mine for about 20 minutes and it just sat there waiting, then reconnected when i launched the app. Hope someone can provide more info if this is ok to do.

thanks!

Dan
