1.1.5 Connection mode of camera
Insta360 Pro 2 provides a variety of camera connection modes, which can be divided into three types, namely, Farsight,
wired connection, and Wi-Fi connection. It can be connected to a computer, iPad or mobile phone, for the remote control
of the camera. Among them, the wired connection is achieved through network cable or local area network (LAN). It is
strongly recommended that the camera be remotely controlled through Farsight, which enjoys the most stable signal and
the farthest communication distance.
If there is no Farsight device, Wi-Fi connection is more convenient and commonly used. The mobile app provides two
ways of camera connectivity: LAN connection and AP hotspot connection of camera. Each of these two ways has its own
characteristics. Hotspot connection is convenient and fast, and the connection distance is usually 5m ~ 10m, which is
suitable for outdoor and quick preview; however, if the LAN is stable enough and the signal coverage area is large, the
LAN connection can be preferentially selected, for the safety range of the connection between the person and the camera
is larger in theory.
These dierent connections are described in more details below:
