The control panel is a new feature on the Elphel cameras that allows for:

  • A quick scan of camera hardware & software status
  • A separate report of camera hardware & software status can be generated, this can be sent to Elphel for the aid of troubleshooting the cameras or for personal use.

Current Status

This project is currently in BETA, and can be found at http://camera address/UI.html

The Control Panel can show the following information

  • Camera IP address, Gateway, Broadcast Address, Netmask, and other network settings
  • Camera Serial Number
  • Camera Software Version
  • Processes (Daemons) currently running on the camera
  • FPGA info
  • fpga_sdram_phase
  • Cat_interupts
    • All of this information is included in a status report the camera is able to generate.

This report can be sent to Elphel support for help with troubleshooting.

You can change the following network settings with the Control Panel

  • Camera IP address
  • Broadcast address
  • Netmask
  • Gateway

High Priority Upcoming Features

  • An 'advanced' section that refers some of the API calls for a more thorough call of status.
  • Ability to reboot camera from panel
  • Ability to start/stop/restart certain processes
  • Button to quickly copy Camera Status report to Clipboard

Easy Snapshot

Easy Snapshot and Easy Video are side projects we hope to merge into the control panel as they progress further. They would allow the user to take snapshots and video clips from the camera's live stream.


TODO

  • Elphel support email and other contact information on the page
  • Verification of IP and other settings before they are set
  • A disclaimer
  • Fix Camera reboot function
  • Create restart network daemon function
  • Make all fields collapsible/re-collapsible
  • Create a copy-to-clipboard function for the camera summary
  • Create notification pages for the change network settings functions
  • Clean up some of the output information
  • Clean up visual styles in general
