Operating Manual - Recce 360 mini (V2.0 20220524)
3.4.1 WiFi Connection
When the camera is powered up it will spawn a WiFi access point. The receiving device
connects to the access point, after which:
● Audio and video can be received
● Audio can be sent
● The camera parameters can be controlled (like illumination)
The camera is added to the App by scanning the QR code inside the case from within the app.
This QR code contains the access point SSID, passphrase, and camera serial in the form:
SSID-passphrase-serial
For example:
S222S-0123456789-6ba504ea
Multiple simultaneous users are supported by the camera.
On Android, the wifi connection is automatically added to the system. When connecting to the
camera from within the app, the device WiFi will try to connect to the camera’s access point. At
that point, it will disconnect from any currently connected WiFi. When the device gets out of
camera range, it will attempt to reconnect automatically.
On iOS, the user has to connect to the access point manually. After first connecting, the
passphrase also has to be entered. There is no need to type in the passphrase, the app will
place the passphrase in the clipboard when connecting.
When the camera gets out of range, there will be no automatic reconnect. This has to be
initiated by the user.
3.4.2 Battery run time
The camera uses several ways to save power. When the operator is aware of these, it can be
used to extend battery run time.
After the camera is powered up, it will enter a power-saving state in which the camera runs at 1
fps, with panorama creation disabled. The illumination will be active.
When a device connects to the camera’s wifi without starting a video stream, this will not cause
the camera to switch to a different state. As soon as a connected wifi device requests a stream
from the camera, the camera will switch to an active mode. In active mode the frame rate is at
maximum, and panorama creation is enabled. Unless the stream from the app is stopped (or the
app is exited, or the device becomes out of range), the stream will remain active.
If there are no active streams from devices anymore, the camera will switch back to the
power-saving state.
Disabling the camera illumination will increase the run time, as will activate the power save
mode in the app. The power save mode in the app will a lower framerate while the camera is
