Sending commands to devices attached to the COM port
This URL applies to the attached serial port device including supported PTZ cameras or
non-supported custom camera. Note that the serial port settings of custom cameras must be
correctly defined in advance.
/cgi-bin/senddata.cgi?data=123456, ABCDEF&flush=yes&wait=1000&read=6
This hyperlink will inform Video Server to send out binary format commands to the COM with
“0x12, 0x34, 0x56” followed by “0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF”. Each comma separates the commands by
200 milliseconds. “Flush=yes” means the receive data buffer of the COM port must be cleared
before read. Then read 6 bytes after waiting for 1000 milliseconds. The read data can be up to 128
bytes and will return as ASCII coded hexadecimal value, e.g., 0x41, 0x42, 0x43 read from COM
port will show in returned homepage as 414243 instead of ABC.
