Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a sensor over a network includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to communicate over a network. The processor is configured to receive or generate control data for controlling a sensor connected to the network, to generate a packet including (i) the control data and (ii) a trigger timestamp indicative of a future time at which the control data is to be provided to the sensor, and to transmit the packet using the transceiver over the network.
