Remote Control
USER
Shows configuration of the camera user buttons
and allows you to trigger them. Press the number
icons to trigger the user buttons.
Frequent reloading of the Web Remote camera interface connected with WiFi indicates a limited
WiFi range. Please place the device closer to the camera or connect via Ethernet. You may also
consider to use the WiFi client mode which allows connecting the camera to a WiFi network.
After a camera update, the Web Remote feature may not be fully functional until the browser cache
of your web browser has been cleared. Always use a 'private' or 'incognito' browser window when
using the Web Remote to operate the camera and to perform a SUP update. This prevents possible
erroneous behavior.
