    I'm using the Sentinel drone and connected to it using the HTTP server to checkout the cameras. The hires is supposed to be 4k but the resolution in the web GUI is only 640x480. I'd like to use the full resolution but voxl-configure-cameras only configures the cameras' activity, nothing else. I've installed v4l-utils but the /dev/video0 isn't compatible. I've tried accessing the cameras using QGroundControl but whenever I try I get the error: Vehicle did not respond to command: MAV_CMD_DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL.

    Anyone knows how the camera could be configured ?

        You can set the resolution of the preview stream in /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf

          Thanks but it's nowhere to be found. Should I create it myself ? If so, is there some model somewhere that I can use to know what kind of structure and syntax I should use ?
