I’ve tested this setup with exactly one camera. If all goes well, you should see it download the photo into the folder and then display it for you. Then, connect your camera to your computer using a USB cable, turn it on, and run the tether script by double-clicking it and choosing Run in terminal (you can do all of this at the command line as well but I figure you command line guys already know that). Make sure the “Execute” checkbox is checked. Then right click each file, open its properties, and select the Permissions tab. Uncompress them into a new folder or put them somewhere on your path. (These scripts are all open source and I’m releasing them under a BSD license which basically means you can do whatever you want with them.) Next, download the following scripts: Download To install it on Ubuntu, start Synaptic and search for gphoto2. With it, you can download photos and even cause the camera to capture images. gphoto2 is a magical command line utility that lets you control your camera connected via USB cable. I’m using Ubuntu Linux but, in theory, this should work on any Linux system that can run gphoto2. On the way to crazy town I came up with a way to do basic tethered shooting on Linux. On a lark it occurred to me to do something goofy with my camera (more on that in a minute). Can You Use Wyze Camera Without Internet/WIFI?
