Re: [Elphel-support] Reducing PHP instances from 3 to less

Answering my own question: Edit: /etc/lighttpd.conf PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN = 2, There is one parent process and 2 child processes, so setting this to 0 will result in a single instance. The question if reducing children makes sense is still open :) Regards Sebastian On Thu, Sep 15,

What would be the best approach to reduce CPU and memory usage of the webserver running in the camera? Would reducing the number of PHP instances help? If yes, where can I change the number of instances, since 3 autospawn killing one just triggers a new one to be spawned immediately. Regards

Hi Andrey, We purchased your network cameras to build our detection system for checking a single object's lateral motion at a refreshing rate about 10/s. The next goal is to increase the refreshing rate (100/s) of the object's position (x, y). My questions are 1) Is it possible to

Hello Karl, How did the camera stop working? The problem might be in the connectors on the 30-conductor flex cable between the camera system board and the sensor board - you may try to open the camera and reconnect the cable. If that will not help - you may ship the camera to us, we should have
