Getting shell access#

It can be necessary to access the camera via ssh remote shell in certain situations, e.g.:

  • copying data/images from or to the camera
  • performing advanced system administration
  • developing own software

The following sections describe how to access the system in these situations.

Login credentials#

The Camera can be accessed using the following (default) credentials:

default
Username: 3dvl
Password: 3dvl

Remote access#

The camera can be access via remote "secure shell" access. Here, you are presented an Yocto-Linux based command line for administrative tasks, e.g. controlling the active docker environment.

The ssh access requires a functional network connection to the camera. 

ssh 3dvl@<ip-address>

Under Linux, ssh usually is available per default on the virtual terminal application.

systemservices system config

Figure: Connection via ssh: upon first connection, a warning about missing host keys is issued.

Under Windows, use the cmd command line tool and ssh command for connecting to the camera. If this is not available, please consider to use a dedicated tool, e.g. putty or WinSCP.
