Example 26 - Grabbing an image from an MOXA Video IP Server

A MOXA Video IP Server has an integrated ftp server.

Grabbing an image from the ip video server can be done with the following method:

def Grab():
from ftplib import FTP
ftp=FTP('193.69.239.119','root','0002D10048BF')
ftp.retrbinary('RETR video.jpg',open('/video.jpg','wb').write) # read the video image using ftp
ftp.quit()
ExecuteCmd('Grab','Filename=/video.jpg;convert=bw') # grabs the image from file

Note: Requires installation of Python and Python for Windows Extentions
