Elphel cameras have two different APIs. The old [[ccam.cgi]] API and the [[Video API]] which is a superset of the [[AxisAPI]]. By default (after flashing), Elphel cameras (at least the 333 model) work in the [[ccam.cgi]] API mode, which means that all attempts to acces the images using the [[Video API]] will come back with a 500 Server Error.

To check wich API is currently active for your camera, use the "chapi.cgi" CGI script:

<pre>
http://192.168.0.9/cgi-bin/admin/chapi.cgi?action=status
</pre>

This will return and XML document such as:

<pre>
<camera>
<api>0</api>
</camera>
</pre>

0 - cigcam.api

1 - Video API

To change the API, use the action=setup&api=X parameters, e.g.:

<pre>
http://192.168.0.9/cgi-bin/admin/chapi.cgi?action=setup&api=1
</pre>

which will change the API even over reboots and return the changed configuration:

<pre>
<camera>
<api>1</api>
</camera>
</pre>
