Remote Web

In a Remote Web session, the iPhone/iPad is the Camera and the browser is the Controller.

Requirements​

  • A second device with a web browser (Google Chrome recommended)
  • A local network

Limitations​

  • Remote works only when both devices are on the same local network.
  • Streaming quality depends on network stability and signal strength.

1. Set up the Camera​

  • Open the Omniscient iOS app

  • Tap New Remote Session, then choose Camera
  • Allow Local Network access if prompted
