Code Example - C# - How to send commands to a smart camera over TCP/IP

[Omron Forums Support]

1. Add the following reference to use Microsoft TCP sockets:

using System.Net.Sockets;

2. Create the client object:

System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient clientSocket = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient();

3. Connect to the camera:

int port = System.Convert.ToInt32("49211");

clientSocket.Connect("192.168.188.2", port); Create stream object:

 

4. Send data to the camera:

NetworkStream serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream();

Prepare text to send (sending jobinfo command - see user manual for details):

byte[] outStream = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("jobinfo\r\n");

 

Send the data:

serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length);

serverStream.Flush();

5. Receive data from the camera:

byte[] inStream = new byte[10025];

serverStream.Read(inStream, 0, (int)clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize);

string returndata = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStream);
