Is it possible to connect wifi camera to Arch?

I recently purchased a Fujifilm XP140 camera I intend to use for underwater photography. The camera however only connects via wifi. With an app I can connect with my Android phone to download photos but I am just wondering if there is a way of connecting it to my Arch desktop.
Fujifilm ships the camera with a FujiFilm PC Autosave program but there's only a Windows and a Mac version. I searched in the internet but there doesn't seem to be a Linux version.
Is it possible to connect this camera via wifi to Arch by other means to download photos?
I really would like to avoid using wine.
I  also downloaded the Apple .dmg file to snoop and mounted it and it contains a .app directory which I assume is wholly an Apple installer.
I'm running KDE.

According to the manual, it will also collect via BT or USB, which should make getting pictures off it trivial.

The USB only functions to charge the battery but doesn't do card reading. I tried the BT as well but the camera somehow doesn't pair with the PC. It loops looking for an Android device.

A user claims to have it work on wine: https://www.fujix-forum.com/threads/lin … -fi.41255/

Yeah for stupid proprietary file transfer protocols, an sftp server was of course no option, because reasons.
(That being said: I'd nmap the cam IP, just to see whether maybe some familiar port is open…)

Maybe it has RTSP on its wifi interface.

I personally just have a dislike using wine.
l'll have a look what nmap gives, or rtsp for what matters.
