Related Classes

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

CameraDeviceDetector

• The CameraDeviceDetector class includes methods for detecting camera devices which are connected with Wireless LANs.

CameraDevice

• The CameraDevice interface represents a camera device.
• This interface includes 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.

CameraDevice cameraDevice = null;
List<CameraDevice> detectedDevices =
    CameraDeviceDetector.detect(DeviceInterface.WLAN);
if (detectedDevices.isEmpty() == false) {
    cameraDevice = detectedDevices.get(0);
}

Connect to Camera

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

Response response = cameraDevice.connect(DeviceInterface.WLAN);

Disconnect from Camera

Use the disconnect method to disconnect from the camera.

Response response = cameraDevice.disconnect(DeviceInterface.WLAN);

Check Connection Status

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

boolean result = cameraDevice.isConnected(DeviceInterface.WLAN);
