[About the remote control function]

By installing this application on two smartphones, you can operate the camera mode terminal from the remote control mode terminal.

You can switch between camera mode and remote control mode from the app settings.

Bluetooth is used for this communication, and since the specifications and version of Bluetooth differ depending on the smartphone, this function may not be available depending on the terminal. Also, depending on the terminal, only remote control mode may not be available. Please note.

-For communication, we use "BLE" (Bluetooth Low Energy), a standard that enables communication with extremely low power consumption. "BLE" can be used on devices with Bluetooth ver4.0 or higher.

・ If the Bluetooth connection operation is unstable, try restarting the app. If that doesn't work, stop other apps and restart your smartphone.

・ Three or more units cannot be connected at the same time. Please use this function on a one-to-one basis with one camera terminal and one remote control terminal.

･ While connecting to other Bluetooth devices, the remote control function may not work properly.

・ Since the Bluetooth specifications differ depending on the smartphone, the remote control function may not be available depending on the model you are using.
