Why do we need the Live View Remote? What can it do that their app on a iPhone can't?

Hi JY, the live view remote is a handier replacement for your phone. It is more useful in situations that you need to shoot with your hands free. Thanks_Mitch

One of the things is that it won't chew through the phone's battery as fast. But I've been happy using the phone app, and it has served my every need.

The iphone remote is an optional bluetooth module that you will need to purchase from Lobster. You will have to send in the machine and they install it. I have the standard remote which does not require an additional module. The standard remote is not included and cost about $300

Well, you can download apps for a iPhone (late version, I don't recall whether it's 4 or 5) so as to use it as a remote. My old iPhone didn't qualify for the app, alas.

There is a remote control app via iPad, but there is no remote control device other than that available to control it. As far as I'm aware, it did not come with a remote.

I just checked mine & even tried updating the software (no updates found). I only has Nexflix & Vudu. At present there isn't even an option to add other apps (that is why I checked if there was asoftware update. Even though the remote has buttons for more, I don't think they will ever update it and add more apps. It probably doesn't have the memory to do it.

It can display everything on your cell phone screen onto your TV. I bought it on-line because it's cheaper than that of APPLE store. But it didn't work well with iPad for the copyright problem. So if you are not concerned with money, I recommend you to buy one from nearby APPLE store. By the way, the new iPhone and iPad use new interface.

I have tried remote view finder on my iphone 4s and it works "ok." The app crashes a lot on the apple mobile device, but if your using a samsung mobile device like, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note etc. Then, the app will run smoother and the resolution will not change in any way when taking videos I believe. It records off the camera so the resolution will stay at 1080p @ 30fps. The video is limited to 20min. Recording so every is the same as the camera, but controlling it off your smart phone is pretty sweet.

yes when you activate Airplay from your iPhone and direct the playback to VSX-1022, it turns itself on. There's also a pioneer app for iPhone, which is basically a remote control that doesn't need a line-of-sight to the receiver.

magic remotes are extra. but you dont really need it as LG has an ap for one that is free. So if you have an iPhone or android you can download it for free and use your phone as remote.

The remote does come with a very small plastic stand that operates simply. The iPhone is situated in the horizontal position for the photo and the plastic gadget inserts into the phone's earphone jack hole. The phone then tilts back slightly against the stand while you move away and operate the remote to take the photo or video. It is not complicated and does work for simple jobs.

with the GoPro you set the timed image capture or if you have a GoPro Hero3 (or above) you can use the iPhone app to control the camera. For other cameras/iphone, you have to use a remote control or video function.

I understand that, but I guess I don't understand how the app remote works and if it works with music services like Google music, Spotify or Rdio?

That depends on the app... I know that WWE Network has not been built with compatibility for remotes. Netflix and Hulu have however.

There is a Zmodo app to view remotely on your iPhone on your home wifi LAN. Port forwarding on your router is required to view on the Internet.

I have it set up and love it! I got the app on my iPhone free and I can live stream any time-- and record with no subscription. I like the motion detection notification because in the email it sends you 2 photographs. I hope this helps!

The unit works with my iPhone 4 but I can't get the remote to work. I've tried to reset the unit as well as turn my phone off then on. Annoying since I use it to teach band and strings. iHome support no help at all.
