I wanted to use my new Sony DSLR (a6700) in the same way as I use my server: by ssh'ing into it.

This is a one day hackaway helper built on Sony’s official Camera Remote SDK. It sort of mimics an ssh session by connecting to my Sony over Wi-Fi, listens for new photos or specific events... and runs scripts on them.

Thank you Sony, for not forgetting the Linux fan base. And thank you ChatGPT for freshening up my c++ skills!

Can you control the camera via script/CLI? Things like releasing the shutter, focus, apeture, etc?

It's not implemented yet, but fairly easy to add, yes.
