Alpha Camera REST API

February 27, 2026 — Camera Remote SDK V2.01.00

The server binary now ships with Sony’s Camera Remote SDK V2.01.00 (upgraded from V1.14.00). This is an SDK-level upgrade — the Alpha Camera REST API surface is unchanged, but the underlying native SDK adds new capabilities.

New camera support

Section titled “New camera support”
  • ILCE-7M5 (Sony A7 V)
  • PXW-Z300 / PXW-Z380
  • DSC-RX1RM3

New native capabilities (exposed gradually through later HTTP releases)

Section titled “New native capabilities (exposed gradually through later HTTP releases)”
  • 52 control codes via ExecuteControlCodeValue / ExecuteControlCodeString — a generic, typed command surface.
  • PullPostViewImage, RequestOperation, GetCommandQueueCount, ControlGeneralSettingFile, GetSupportedControlCodes — new SDK functions.
  • OnCompleteOperation and OnNotifyPostViewImage callbacks.
  • ~37 new device properties including compressed RAW, peaking, zebra, markers, audio metering, bulb timing, and display-mode controls.

Non-breaking notes

Section titled “Non-breaking notes”
  • Connect() now accepts an optional pairingDisplayName parameter — backward compatible; omit for default behavior.
  • V1.14 is backed up in the sdk-v1.14.00 GitHub release.

Known issues (tracked)

Section titled “Known issues (tracked)”
  • macOS V2.01 OnNotifyRemoteTransferResult callback does not fire reliably — the server falls back to filesystem polling and emits synthetic transferProgress SSE events. Fix expected in the next official SDK drop.
