Is it possible to get image or video data from the camera's serial port?

Yes, there are a few ways to get images through the serial port.

1. TCP/IP via RS-232: The StarDot device can be configured to dial an ISP via analog modem, satellite modem, etc.

2. X/Y/Zmodem: The StarDot device includes a program to transfer data via the xmodem, ymodem or zmodem file transfer protocols. As an example, you can use a terminal program (such as Hyperterminal in Windows), you can issue the following command in the StarDot device to initiate a zmodem transfer of the current live image onto your desktop via the serial port:
   
   lsz -b /dev/video/jpeg0

3. UUencode: Using the StarDot device's built-in uuencode program, you can encode the current live JPEG image into ASCII data and then cat the file via the serial port (for example, into an RS-232 storage device).
   
   cp /dev/video/jpeg0 /var/tmp/image.jpg
   
   uuencode /var/tmp/image.jpg
