How to connect the live remote to your Action cam

Using a remote with your Action Cam means you can begin recording your run, bike ride or skate session the second it begins. The remote is worn on your wrist so you have complete freedom of movement, and with 4 hours of battery life, it can last the distance, too. You can use the remote screen to watch your footage as it's recording. It's also waterproof up to 3m, so it's ideal for surfing and watersports.

Get the remote ready

1. Open the MENU screen and select Network Settings > Connection Setting
2. Choose SINGLE connection if you only have one camera.
   Choose MULTI connection if you want to use the remote with more than one camera. You can use the remote with up to five compatible cameras at the same time.

Register your camera on the remote

1. From the MENU screen, choose the icon showing the camera and the remote
2. The remote is now ready to register your camera. It will stay in this mode for 2 minutes, so make sure you register your camera before time runs out
3. On your camera, select [SETUP], then [confg] > [Wi-Fi] > [multi] > new
4. The display should now be blinking with the word [PREP]
5. Wait until the remote screen says [OK], then confirm the registration by pressing [REC/ENTER]
6. When registration is complete, the display will say [DONE] and after 2 seconds, the camera is ready to use

If you're registering more than one camera, repeat these steps.

Connect the remote to your camera
Once you have registered your camera with the remote, the two devices will automatically connect via Wi-Fi when they are both switched on. (You'll see a blue light on the remote when it's switched on.)

For more details on connecting your camera to the remote, check your camera's instruction manual.
