Camera Control

Beautiful GUI to control your camera remotely.

Installation

Before your get started, check if your camera is supported by gphoto2: http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php

1. Install gphoto2 Linux:

   sudo apt install gphoto2
   sudo apt install libgphoto2-6

   macOS:

   brew install gphoto2

2. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/valentinfrlch/camera-control

3. Install Python dependencies (tested with python 3.11)

   cd camera-control
   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Connect your camera via USB
5. Run webserver

   python webserver.py

6. You should see the following in your terminal:

   * Serving Flask app 'webserver'
   * Debug mode: on
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
   * Running on all addresses (0.0.0.0)
   * Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000
   * Running on http://10.0.1.220:8000

   The web interface should automatically open in your web browser. To control your camera from your phone, make sure your phone and computer are on the same network, then open the second url displayed in the terminal (in this case http://10.0.1.220:8000) in your phone's browser.

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble connecting your camera, close any applications that may be using it. On macOS, open Activity Monitor, search for ptpcamera, and quit any related processes—these will prevent gphoto2 from accessing the camera.
