Reposting my "lost" thread....... About Action Camera

[davidhk129]

I have lost 2 of my most recent threads. Nowhere to be found.
Have notified Mike, the Admin.

One of the lost threads was a question about an Action Camera...…..

AT-G100 Waterproof FullHD 1080P WIFI FPV Action Camera

Question : My MJX Bugs 3 comes with a camera mount that can be attached to the drone's belly. Can this camera be able to connect to my phone via wifi so that I will have instant images on flight?

Bummer, same here, one of my threads disappeared too. This forum is dead, so no worries, so many other active threads (like RCgroups) and with much better formatting/features.

It needs to used with an app. Which app it is a mystery as the product specs don't say. It may (or may not) work with universal wifi camera apps.

I have done some googling.
Excerpts from one of the articles about "How to Use Wi-Fi on a Sports Action Camera"...……

………..Most of these sports action cameras with Wi-Fi will require you to install an app on your phone or tablet to make full use of this functionality.
………..The app may vary from camera to camera but it’s usually clearly listed on the box or in the user manual and may even have a QR code making it quick and easy to install.

Range on one of these action cams is about 20 feet. App is really only good for making last minute pre-flight changes and post-production editing
