Bluetooth Remote Capture

Bluetooth Remote Capture lets you start/stop a recording, capture a photo, and change the camera mode wirelessly right from the Rylo app. Now it’s easy to put yourself in the action when Rylo’s out of reach or you’re away from the camera. Make sure you update your Rylo to get this and the latest features.
 
 
Important Note: At this time Bluetooth Remote Capture is available on Rylo for iOS. We’re working to add this to our Android app and we hope to make it available in the upcoming weeks.
 
 

Pairing Rylo to your device

The initial pairing between Rylo and your device occurs once Rylo is connected to your device via its sync cable. Thereafter, your device will automatically remember Rylo for future connections.
 
 

Connecting to Rylo after the initial pairing: 

  1. Enable bluetooth on your device
  2. Power Rylo on
  3. Open the Rylo app
  4. Ensure that you’re within 10 feet from Rylo
  5. Rylo should automatically connect to your device and you’ll see this icon wireless.png in the upper right-hand corner of the app, confirming that they’re connected. If not, try these troubleshooting steps.
 
 

Available Bluetooth Remote Controls

Once Rylo is connected to your phone you can remotely switch between 360°, 180°, and photo capture modes, start and stop recording, and take a picture from the Rylo app.
 
To do this:
  1. Ensure Rylo is connected to your Rylo app via bluetooth
  2. Tap wireless.png
  3. Tap Remote Control

Other available Bluetooth Remote Controls include:

Important Note: You cannot sync content from Rylo to your phone via bluetooth. Each Rylo includes a sync cable which offers faster data transfer speeds than bluetooth or wifi. At this time, transferring content from Rylo to your phone for editing is only possible through your sync cables.
 
 

Bluetooth Range

Rylo can remain connected to your device so long as they’re within ten feet of each other. We recommend initiating the bluetooth connection when your device and Rylo are close to each other, and before you distance yourself away from Rylo.
