your camera.
After you forget a network, the camera no longer connects to it
automatically.
Multiple Camera Network
You can create a network of multiple VIRB cameras and control
all the cameras using the Garmin VIRB app. You can switch
between the connected cameras to view the viewfinder and
controls for each camera.
To connect multiple cameras, all the cameras and your mobile
device must be connected to the same wireless access point or
network.
You can set up the network using the access point feature of
one VIRB camera. The app and all your cameras connect to this
access point.
You can also set up a camera network using an existing Wi
‑
Fi
network. The app and all cameras connect to the Wi
‑
Fi network.
This option is useful when you want to provide internet access to
your mobile device while controlling your cameras.
Setting Up a Camera Network
You can set up a multiple-camera network using the access
point feature of one VIRB camera. This allows the VIRB app to
control all your cameras through this access point.
The first time you use multiple cameras with the Garmin VIRB
app, you must set up the camera access point and connect
another camera to it.

‑
Fi radio (

‑
Fi access point. You should not
connect this camera to the app yet.

first camera's screen.
The app and the second camera connect to the access point.
The app communicates with both cameras through the
access point. You can select
in the viewfinder to switch
between your connected cameras (
).
The app and cameras save the Wi
‑
Fi network information. The
next time you turn on your cameras, you should turn on the
access point camera first, followed by the other cameras. The
cameras connect automatically.
If you have additional VIRB cameras, you can add them to the
camera network (
Adding a Camera to the Network
).
Adding a Camera to the Network
Before you can add a camera to a camera network, you must
complete one of these tasks:
• Set up a camera network using a VIRB camera access point
(
).
• Connect one or more cameras and the Garmin VIRB app to a
Wi

Fi network (
).
If the Garmin VIRB app is connected to your cameras using a
network or access point, you can add cameras to the camera
network.
