I know the page containing the supported devices for the Camera Remote API Beta. But I wonder if maybe it is possible to use the Remote API Beta with the DSC-H300/DSC-H400 as well, even though they are not declared as supporting the API.
Thanks for your help.
Cameras DSC-H300 & DSC-H400 do not support Camera Remote API beta.
Both DSC-HX60 & DSC-HX400 long zoom cameras support the Remote API.

I have made a script that uses the library SOCO, to play songs on my Sonos. I have deployed this script at WayScript. The issue is that WayScript runs it's scripts on it's own server, which isn't connected to my internet.
Therefore, when I try to connect to my Sonos device: SoCo('192.168.1.10'), it can't connect... obviously.
So what do I do? Maybe Sonos provides another way to interact with their devices, even though the server is not connected to the same Wi-Fi.
Thanks in advance,

Use the Sonos Cloud API, which does not require access to your local Wifi network. https://developer.sonos.com/reference/control-api/
it is possible to access & control my remote machine screen by using webRTC?? if possible can you please share the information regarding the above problem
Yes the WebRTC protocol allows it. The APIs in the browser don't provide this though.
webrtc-remote-screen is a project that does this today.
I currently own a CX330, which has WIFI control through a Sony app. I would like to build the remote control features into another app I'm building as well as being able to download video from the device. Are either of these options possible and, if so, where in the documentation do I go to find examples or instructions? Currently I only see these functions available for a limited set of devices, but if the proprietary software can provide remote control I'm assuming Sony has not built a separate API just for the camcorders and a different one for other devices.
Also, I believe the proprietary software allows you to download new videos directly from the camera, is an api available for this as well?
We do have an API for working with cameras, but unfortunately your camera is not supported. You can find the full list of supported cameras here:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/
The API does allow you to download photos and videos.
I understand that I cannot use Camera Remote API beta to access Sony Cameras using USB. Is there any other API available? I found that somebody has already posted a question regarding this on another Sony camera api forum which is closed now. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Kumar
It is not possible to use Camera Remote API beta via USB. The Camera Remote API is based on HTTP and JSON and is only available over Wi-Fi.
The API itself is http/JSON based so it is platform independent so the only issue would be connecting by WiFi.

I've been looking through the API docs and support forum. Based on what I've been reading, there are two big holes in the Sony camera stack:
1) Cameras ONLY support master mode (peer-to-peer) wi-fi connections. They do not support infrastructure mode allowing the camera to connect to existing wi-fi networks.
2) API does not support moving files off the camera.
My questions: Does Sony plan to address add these capabilities? If yes, what is the timeline?
Thanks,
Graham
Thank you for your interest.
(EDITED: multi Wi-Fi connection is used by Live View Remote LVR & Camera Remote API is officially NOT supported in multi Wi-Fi mode).
Sony lens style cameras QX1, QX30 and ActionCams HDR-AZ1, HDR-AS100V can connect to existing Wi-Fi networks (Multi Connection Wi-Fi mode). Please check if your Wi-Fi network is compatible with connection method used. Newer QX1, QX30, HDR-AZ1 cameras support content transfer API. Please check API Reference document for exact APIs.
