Overview

This guide explains how to install ElphelVision on your Elphel camera and a computer running Ubuntu connected to your camera over Ethernet.

This guide assumes that you have successfully downloaded the required files.

Installation

FTP Transfer

Use an FTP client of choice (eg. Filezilla) and connect to your Elphel camera.

Default IP: 192.168.0.9
User: root / PW: pass

Upload the complete "ElphelVision" directory in "elphel/Apertus/camera www/" to the "/mnt/flash/html/" directory of your Elphel camera

You can test if everything worked properly by opening a browser and going to:

http://192.168.0.9/ElphelVision/elphelvision_interface.php?cmd=status  (replace 192.168.0.9 with your Elphel cameras IP). 

If you get lots of xml output installation was successful.
