Connection

This page shows you how to make connections with cameras using RICOH Camera USB SDK.

The following classes are used when you make a connection with cameras:

The CameraDeviceDetector class includes methods for detecting camera devices which are connected with USBs.

The CameraDevice class represents a camera device.
This class includes properties and methods for obtaining camera information and operating camera device.

Detect Cameras

Use the Detect to obtain a list of connectable camera devices.
To connect to a camera, you need to detect connectable camera devices first.

DeviceInterface deviceInterface = DeviceInterface.USB;
List<CameraDevice> detectedCameraDevices =
    CameraDeviceDetector.Detect(deviceInterface);

Use the Connect method to connect to one of the detected camera devices.

CameraDevice cameraDevice = detectedCameraDevices.First();
Response response = cameraDevice.Connect(deviceInterface);

Use the Disconnect method to disconnect from the camera.

Response response = cameraDevice.Disconnect(deviceInterface);

Use the IsConnected method to check connection status of the camera.

bool isConnected = cameraDevice.IsConnected(deviceInterface);
