Connecting to the Garmin VIRB App Using Wi‑Fi Settings

TIP: If you are using a mobile device with Android™ that has near field communication (NFC) technology, you can connect your camera more quickly using NFC (Connecting to the Garmin VIRB App Using NFC).

The Garmin® VIRB® app connects to your VIRB 360 camera using Wi‑Fi® technology. You can connect the app directly to the camera, or you can connect the app and camera to the same wireless network.

  1. From the app store on your mobile device, install the Garmin VIRB app.
  2. On your VIRB 360 camera, from the main menu, select Wireless > Wi-Fi, and select the Wi-Fi toggle switch to turn on the Wi‑Fi radio.
    TIP: You can also hold Right arrow for two seconds to quickly turn the Wi‑Fi radio on or off.

    The camera broadcasts a Wi‑Fi access point. The access point name and password appear on the camera screen. While the Wi‑Fi radio is turned on, Wi-Fi symbol appears on the home screen, and the status LED flashes blue periodically.

  3. If you are using an Apple® mobile device, go to the Wi‑Fi settings on your mobile device, and connect to the camera access point using the name and password on the camera screen.
  4. On your mobile device, start the Garmin VIRB app.

    The app searches for your camera.

  5. If you are using a mobile device with Android, when the security prompt appears, enter the password for the camera access point.
    TIP: The access point name and password appear on the camera screen.

    The app connects to your camera.

    The first time you connect your camera, the app prompts you to connect to a nearby wireless network.

  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the camera and app to a Wi‑Fi network (optional).

    You can also manually connect to a Wi‑Fi network later (Connecting to a Wi‑Fi Network).

The remote viewfinder and camera controls appear in the Garmin VIRB app.
