Using Wi-Fi Remote Control

You can access the Wi-Fi remote control built into
the camcorder from a smartphone, tablet, or other
device over a wireless LAN connection.
Using the Wi-Fi remote control allows you to
operate the camcorder remotely. This allows
you to start/stop recording or configure settings
remotely, and is useful in applications where
the camcorder is fixed in a remote location or
mounted on a crane, for example.
Displaying the Wi-Fi Remote Control
The Wi-Fi Remote screen is automatically resized
to match the screen size of the connected device.

Connect the camcorder to the Internet using
the procedures in "Connecting Devices using
Wireless LAN" (page 58) and "Connecting to
the Internet" (page 62).

Launch a browser on the device and enter
"http://<IP_address>/rm.html" in the URL bar,
where "<IP_address>" is the IP address
(Maintenance >Network >IP Address (Wireless)
in the setup menu) of the camcorder.
For example, if the IP address is 192.168.1.1,
enter "http://192.168.1.1/rm.html" in the URL
bar.
3
Enter the user name and password
(Maintenance >Basic Authentication
(page 107) in the setup menu) on the

Remote screen appears on the device.
You use the Wi-Fi Remote screen to operate
the camcorder.
