Connecting to a Wi‑Fi Network
Connecting to a public or unsecured network may expose your video and sensor data to others. Use caution when connecting to an unsecured network.
To control the camera using an existing Wi‑Fi® network, the network must be set up to allow connected devices to see and communicate with each other.
You can use the Garmin® VIRB® app to connect your VIRB camera to a Wi‑Fi network. This could be a home network or a business network.
While connected to a Wi‑Fi network, the Garmin VIRB app communicates with your camera over the network. If the network provides access to the internet, this feature allows your mobile device maintain an internet connection while you control your camera using the Garmin VIRB app.
The app and camera save the network information and connect automatically the next time the camera is turned on and within range of the network. Saved networks appear in the Wi-Fi menu on your camera.
If you have additional VIRB cameras, you can add them to the network to control multiple cameras using the Garmin VIRB app (Adding a Camera to the Network).
