Tethr is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that controls digital cameras directly from web browsers via USB connections. It supports multiple camera vendors and uses the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) to access camera functions like shutter control, aperture adjustment, and ISO settings. However, ensuring compatibility among different camera models has been challenging due to vendor-specific extensions.
Tethr solves this by offering a standardized interface and acting as a bridge between cameras and developers. It takes inspiration from libgphoto2 to provide a comprehensive camera control solution.
Features
📸 Control camera functionalities such as shutter, aperture, ISO, and more.
⚡️ Access cameras via USB using the PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) standard.
🌎 Vendor-specific support to fully access all features of each camera model.
🤳 Automatic fallback to web cameras when WebUSB is disabled or no USB camera is connected.
Supported cameras
As mentioned, due to the vendor-specific extensions added to the PTP, comprehensive support for each camera model's features requires vendor-specific implementation. Without such support, the library can only access a limited set of configs exposed through standard device properties defined in the PTP specification.
In addition, the library offers fallback functionality to web cameras in situations where WebUSB is disabled or when no USB-connected camera is detected. This enables developers to seamlessly switch to using web cameras, such as those integrated into smartphones, as an alternative capture source.
This library allows you to use your built-in or external webcam directly from Java. It's designed to abstract commonly used camera features and support various capturing frameworks.

Stop-motion animation software for DSLR cameras. This project was born out of personal need for a stop-motion software with onion-skin features for high quality DSLR cameras. Most stop-motion tools are highly priced and out of reach for students or stop-motion hobbyists. This project aims to address that issue.
