Setting Up a Camera Network

You can set up a multiple-camera network using the access point feature of one VIRB® camera. This allows the VIRB app to control all your cameras through this access point.

The first time you use multiple cameras with the Garmin® VIRB app, you must set up the camera access point and connect another camera to it.

  1. Turn on the first camera, and turn on the Wi‑Fi® radio (Turning the Wi‑Fi Radio On or Off).

    The camera broadcasts a Wi‑Fi access point. You should not connect this camera to the app yet.

  2. Turn on the second camera, and connect it to the app (Connecting to the Garmin VIRB App Using Wi‑Fi Settings).

    The camera connects to the app, and the viewfinder appears.

  3. From the Garmin VIRB app viewfinder, select Gear symbol > Wi-Fi Connections.

    A list of nearby Wi‑Fi access points appears.

  4. Select the access point broadcast by the first camera, and enter the password.
    TIP: The access point name and password appear on the first camera's screen.

    The app and the second camera connect to the access point. The app communicates with both cameras through the access point. You can select Two video cameras symbol in the viewfinder to switch between your connected cameras (Switching Cameras).

The app and cameras save the Wi‑Fi network information. The next time you turn on your cameras, you should turn on the access point camera first, followed by the other cameras. The cameras connect automatically.

If you have additional VIRB cameras, you can add them to the camera network (Adding a Camera to the Network).
