I'm a programmer and writing an application in C# (Windows 7) which should take pictures (and also download them) via Wi-Fi. I can't use USB because the camera is about 50 meters away and mounted at a height of 3 meters.
Does anyone know a SDK, API or library to connect to a Canon camera via Wi-Fi? Or any other information how this could be solved?
The camera is a Canon 70D.

You may be interested in this project, http://dslrdashboard.info/.
It takes a TPLINK MR3040 (~$30.00, and looks awfully similar to the camranger!) and provides a dd-wrt firmware image that puts some kind of API onto the device that DSLR Dashboard uses. DSLR Dashboard appears to be available as a PC app, as well as IOS and Android.
I recently bought a device, changed the firmware, and tried it out with an iPad.
I don't know if the API is "open" (i.e., defined well enough for 3rd parties), but the source code is on github: https://github.com/hubaiz
The apps themselves might be good enough for what you need as well!
