Is it possible to support multiple camera connections, in the way that the Live View Remote does?

Here's a few links which might help you get there:

Cool, that would be awesome. Although I note from looking at the API there does not appear to be a method for identifying the camera once you are connected....

I managed to connect to my AS15 and QX10 individually, but I don't think there is a method to get them to connect to a common access point. Also, Xubuntu was being very fussy connecting to the QX-10, worked best if I used 'connect to hidden network'.

Now we have the uPNP feature working, this returns a list of all cameras found on local network. In theory this would work with cameras configured as 'multi camera control' (as used with LiveViewRemote bracelet).

Unfortunately I don't any cameras which operate like this to confirm. Cameras supported are as follows.
RM-LVR1
https://esupport.sony.com/CA/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1409&mdl=RMLVR1
DSC-QX100, FDR-X1000V, HDR-AS100V, HDR-AS20, HDR-AS200V, HDR-AS30V, HDR-AZ1

RM-LVR2
RM-LVR2V

DSC-QX30, FDR-X1000V, HDR-AS100V, HDR-AS20, HDR-AS200V, HDR-AS30V, HDR-AZ1, ILCE-QX1

BTW the 'multi connection' feature uses WPS to authenticate/connect the camera to the LVR or other router.

Thought I still don't have a camera with multi-wifi feature.

Now have an AS100 to play with. You can use the WPS button on Router to bond camera to your WiFi network, in theory for as many cameras as you have.

Can also use the following to write camera's internal settings to configure WiFi (and other stuff).
