Connect to Your Phone

Connect the camera to the GoPro app on your phone before mounting it on the fence. The small screen is hard to see in bright sun, and the app lets you preview the shot, zoom, change settings, and start/stop recording from your phone.

The wireless connection works best within about 20 feet of the camera.
