Does the remote need to be pointed at the camera to start recording?

No it doesn't and it's a wonderful camera. We use it on our Gold Wing Mortorcyckle.

No you can be a good distance from the camera and still use the remote,No need to point it at the camera .i have 2 drift ghost i use on my motorcycle i have the remotes attached to my handlebar riser.

No, just in range , phone ap works great ! Can view what the camera is aimed at !

No, there's no need. No infrared, but some kind of bluetooth or similar is used. But I cannot help you with the range, maybe in the camera specifications...

I have tried it twice and the remote did NOT have to be pointed at the camera. In fact, I attached camera to my helmet and strapped ermine to my left wrist.

No. I wear it on my wrist or attached to my vest and it starts. I will say it is kind of finicky at times.

You can manually tilt the camera, but not with the remote. I'm sure that would make an awesome feature! I know some of the monitors do, but that feature wasn't worth the cost difference for me. I may wish that I would have paid for that as my daughter becomes more mobile, but so far, I have been really pleased! Hope that helps

no. However you can only tilt the camera up and down while setting it up but not remotely.

I am able to get this remote to work from the front and back of the camera......my camera is a little picky as to where the remote has to be pointed at the camera in order to for it to read the signal though.

I would say yes, but to be on the safe side, I would refer to the manual to see if the camera has a remote option.

Make sure it has a battery first and then you need to change the setting on your camera from a single shot to the remote. Then it should work.

The camera was a gift to someone, but as I understand, if you are pointing the camera at a subject, such as a baseball play where you are loolking for a special play, if the paly does occur, you can start the recording and it wuill capture the last few second prior to starting the recording, instead of recording several attempted plays and wasting recording space.

Put your camera where you can change it from single shot to single and remote and as long as facing camera o.k. but too away from camera as far as angle the infrared will not see it and therefore not work. Simple item. Corded remote is a whole different situation Hope that helps. Elliot N. Herzel or e.herzel@yahoo.com.

It is supposed to, however the unit I bought worked only for a few minutes. After that it worked only when the transmitter was a few inches from the receiver on the camera or not at all. No better than using the shutter release on the camera. I submitted a return request through Amazon. BestDeal USA responded quickly, promised me a refund and did not want the defective unit returned. A few days later I received an email saying that the total cost, including shipping had been credited to my bank account. Good Customer Service. I purchased a wired remote from Amazon, Nikon 25395 MC-DC2. It has a long cable and works great - all shutter features of the release on the camera body.

Randy you will have to set your camera to auto mode then set it for 2 seconds timer that's when the remote controls will work

Yes sound recording does work and the remote device works great. It does work with the power cord and both the camera and remote are rechargeable. The remote has battery factory installed so you don't need to remove the battery. Just plug the adapter into it and charge it for about 8 hrs. The same goes for the camera but you can remove the battery . The camera battery resembles a cellphone battery. Make sure you charge the camera's battery for about 8 hrs the first time. I have set my camera up on motion detect and let it go for about 12 hrs and it still could have ran for a few more . Make sure you read the instructions very well so you don't have any difficulties. Have fun ! I bought about 6 of these cameras and love using them.

No, there are two buttons on the side. One to start and stop the video and one to take pictures. There is a light on top that lets you know when you are recording.

Yes, if your camera has settings for 2 or 10 second delay. Vital for group photos!The remote uses a CR2032 battery. Do not leave the remote plugged into the camera when not in use, as it will drain the battery, rapidly; disconnect it when not in use.

Yes on both accounts. You can FF when watching the video recording and you can set it to notify you when motion is detected and on what camer so you can go right to that camera and remote view.

yes, it comes with a remote control. depending on the range of the remote signal, the remote operates the camera fully in video mode.

The remote does not perform the auto-focus, the camera does. I have not used the remote for video, but have taken portraits with the remote, and the camera handles the focusing (unless I'm set for manual focus) without a problem.
