I want to build a super simple software which just downloads an image from a digital camera when it is taken (tethering).

As far as I understand I can use Windows Portable Devices (WPD) with the picture/media transfer protocol (PTP/MTP) to aquire the images.

I found examples how to get started with WPD here:

There are just a few more questions:

  • WPD even enumerates external hdds - how do I know if a device is a camera?
  • How do I get notified if another camera is connected?
  • How can I get notified when the camera takes a picture?
