Before you can use the multi-cam monitoring feature with your iPad, you’ll need to set up Sony’s Monitor & Control App. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices; however, the multi-cam monitoring feature is currently only available on iPad OS. You can download the app from the App Store of Google Play. After it’s installed, whether you’re looking to make money creating content on TikTok or if YouTube is more your style, you’ll be able to use it to control and monitor your Sony cameras.
Follow these steps to connect your cameras to the Monitor & Control App:
- Open the Monitor & Control App on your device.
- Make sure you have WiFi enabled on your Sony camera.
- Go through the various pop-ups to grant the app access to your photos, camera, location, and Bluetooth.
- Allow the app to find and connect to devices on your local network.
- Your device’s name will appear in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
- Tap Connect on the right-hand corner of the screen.
- On your camera, go to Menu, Network, Bluetooth, Manage Paired Device, then Mobile device name.
- On your iPad, scroll down and tap pairing.
- On your camera, click OK to allow pairing with your device.
- Accept the pairing request on your iPad.
- You’ll see Paired on your camera with the name of your connected device.
- On your iPad, tap join to allow Monitor & Control to join your WiFi network.
Completing these steps will allow you to start using the Monitor & Control app with your iPad. Bluetooth is the easiest pairing mode, but you can choose others, including connecting via WiFi or wired LAN.
