Description

The URL you pasted in your stackoverflow question has UPnP/DLNA semantics http-get:*:image/jpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=JPEG_LRG;DLNA.ORG_CI=1. Have you tried discovering the device with SSDP ?

Looks like this is may be the way to go :
https://developer.sony.com/2013/11/29/how-to-develop-an-app-using-the-camera-remote-api-2/

They probably reused their UPnP engine, though it seems they use a JSON-RPC protocol on top.

I don't have a Sony A7 so I can't test it but this may be useful : upnp-device-client

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Sony Camera Remote API material and the upnp-device-client example, then inspect the repository entry points for any existing camera interaction. The issue does not name files, tests, or acceptance criteria; done would require defining and validating a concrete SSDP discovery and camera-control scope.
