B4J Question Camera receive events

[jayel]

Hello,

I have a Mobotix camera that can sent notification on IP level.
I can set the destination address and set the data protocol to : raw tcp/ip, http/1.0 request or http/1.0 request+acknowledge.
the data type Is plain text.

What lib can I use the receive these events with B4J?

 

[Erel]

Start with OkHttpUtils2 together with http/1.0 request+acknowledge.

Erel,

The camera sends these events when a movement is detected by the camera, it sends a choosen text.
Don't I have to setup a server that captures these http requests?
httputils ypou have to send a job and wait for an job event?
No?

httputils ypou have to send a job and wait for an job event?

Yes.

If you have more information about the raw tcp/ip protocol then you can connect to the camera with jNetwork + AsyncStreams.

I did already use jNetwork + Asyncstreams:
I recieved the event once... and a connection was made when I triggered a movement. So that is weird also !

Do you have pointer what I can try next?

It is the camera that sends the http requests. you are correct. You can use a B4J server app to receive those requests.

 

[jayel]

Like the chatroom app you made?

 

[Erel]

No. Not WebSockets. You need to use a regular handler.

 

[jayel]

ok, like guess my number example then?
