It's perfectly possible to get viewfinder images onto the computer, at
least from the library and C.  I wrote it for an old Canon but it also
works on a Nkon.  Some will depend on your USB speed, my Canon is USB
1.0.  I can still get about 8 FPS, and I'm comparing them to be a
motion detector.  On a Raspberry Pi ZeroW.

The program does shoot 3 fullsize frames if it sees a change, then
goes back to watching viewfinder images.
