Additional Notes:
Monitoring Range/Quality:
The range & quality while monitoring may vary,
based on a number of factors, including the
equipment used and the environment. Here are
some general guidelines:
1. Direct Monitoring via iPhone App or PC:
10-30 feet from camcorder depending on
environment. Can go through walls & floors,
although range will be reduced.
2. Monitoring via Access Point at home via
iPhone App or PC: Similar to most other home
Wi-Fi devices. Can vary greatly, based on the
type of wireless system and environment.
3. Monitoring via Access Point on the internet
with a PC: Unlimited range. Minimal delay
using Motion JPEG. Full HD monitoring requires
Windows 7 OS and delay/lag will be increased.
4. Monitoring via Access Point on the internet
with iPhone App: Requires Wi-Fi. Will not work
with 3G or 4G. Unlimited range. May take
longer to establish connection. Depending on
the connection speed, there may be a delay as
well as lower frame rate and possibly no audio.
Apps:
Everio sync. is a free app. These instructions show
the Everio being used with an iPhone. It can also be
used with an iPad or iPod Touch. Everio sync. is
also available for Android phones and tablets and
can be downloaded from Google Play.
App Demo Mode:
Even without connection to an Everio, it is possible
to see what the Everio sync. app can do.
1. Launch the app & select demo mode.
Transfer Speed:
The speed at which a file will transfer over Wi-Fi will
vary based on the type of wireless router being used
and/or the speed of the internet connection.
Testing with a 1 minute 124MB video file and a Wi-Fi
802.11G router and a 12Mbps internet connection,
the file transferred at the following speeds:
• Direct Monitoring: Using Wi-Fi within the
range of the home network access point
required 1 min. 40 sec.
• Outside Monitoring: Using Wi-Fi and an
Internet connection via Dynamic DNS required
31 min.
