This project provides a scriptable way to access over wifi various features of the Sony cameras that implement the Camera Remote API (https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/).

The SDK provided by Sony is targetted for Android and iOS developers. The objective of this project is to create a tool or a set of tools to control Sony cameras from a Linux desktop and anything that can run Python.

The basic set of features that are going to be implemented include:

• Live view
• take pictures
• configure various parameters

Dependencies

• Python 2.7
• python-opencv
• a compatible Sony camera connected over wifi in the "Smart Remote Control" app

Wishes

• Same features as the Windows/Mac USB client Remote Camera Control
• LiveView
• Timelapse with controls
• Play with OpenCV to add more advanced features (motion detector, intelligent exposure, bulb ramping, etc)

Help needed

• All the features
• Packaging
• Mobile integration (?)
• UI/UX
