I'm looking for a #camera that can transfer pictures and videos #wireless to a #linux (preferable #debian) computer via #wifi or #bluetooth.
I'd prefer a camera by a producer which does support linux, but any working solution is welcome.
I need an option to shoot macros (additional lens, built-in function) and I do need it to be small (no dslr).
Nice format would be e.g. DJI Osmo Action + macro lens, but didn't find information on linux compatibility.
Still no compact camera to use for wireless picture download to a linux computer found...
Boosts welcome!
@chrichri Most of these wireless picture download solutions seem to be (sorry for the language) proprietary garbage. Maybe a USB-C microSD card reader or https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-microsd-extender/?v=0446c16e2e66 and are the easier and equally viable solution.
That aside, have you had a look at Entangle (https://entangle-photo.org/) and the cameras it supports? That could narrow the search down.
I do agree with your "garbage" terminology!
That's why I'm dropping the Nikon #w300.
Just before I read your toot I found http://gphoto.org/doc/remote/ . libgphoto2 seems to be the software to go with.
I'll have to see which hardware will work for me.
To get help I opened an issue here: https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/issues/657
I got the impression that one would use a WiFi SD-card, but I might be wrong.
Never used it…
@HeyRay I read about those and there are some drawbacks:
- closed source
- do not seem to work reliable
- full size sdcard, small cameras often need micro sdcards
Wouldn't like to waste money or time on circumventing vendor lock-in - I'd prefer to buy a product that ideally works with linux, because the manufacturer does support free software.
Did not know that!
In my head and my imagination those systems just are storage and baseband chips
aka wifi and nas 😅
That imagination is not that wrong, it seems: https://elinux.org/Wifi_SD
Forgot to mention: I'm selling the Nikon W300 with an additional battery, a battery charger (which works on its own without the camera), a display protector already installed, the original silicon cover by Nikon and a pouch made of neoprene.
If you're interested (Europe/Germany) you can write me NOT via DM (doesn't work for me), but via Matrix (look at my profile).
Camera is like new, bought in August 2020.
