trouble connecting camera + ipad through wifi
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2018 3:42 pm
Hi,
we unsuccessfully tried to use the app at a tradeshow this weekend. When we connect both Canon EOS6D + the ipad to a public wifi, no connection can be established at all. the same happens when i try our in-office wifi. the only way i can get it to work is if I use my phone's hotspot but then the connection drops after about 5-10min.
We have another event this weekend and I would really like to use the app + camera. We want to connect app + camera (my understanding through them having to be on the same wifi), then have the camera triggered from the ipad and then people emailing themselves the picture with a nice frame afterwards. Therefore here are my questions:
1. why doesn't it work with public wifi (or stronger exhibitor wifi one can pay for at the show)
2. why does it drop the hotspot?
3. is there a way to connect camera + wifi directly? if so, can people still email themselves the pictures? my ipad has a sim card, too.
Aside from this, I also would like to mount the camera in a closed off room, have people use a remote control to take the picture and then have this picture show up on the ipad and people emailing themselves the images. What do you suggest how we make this work? We paid for the annual subscription of your app.
Please help!
