Similar to Playmemories, this application allows you to connect your Sony wifi camera, e.g. the DSC-QX10, to your desktop. It provides a simple interface that displays a live view video stream from the camera, zoom in and out, touch focus and take photos.
The application uses PyQt4 for the GUI. To communicate with the camera HTTP POST and GET messages mixed with some JSON objects are sent via sockets to the wifi enabled camera. The format of these commands follows the published Sony API. All communications with the camera are off loaded in a separate thread so that the main GUI does not slow down.
Requirements:
1. Python >=2.7 (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. PyQt4 (https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download)
To use:
1. Connect computer to camera via wifi (camera password required)
2. From the directory where the Python files were downloaded type: python sony.py
