DO ◦ On both A and B, get access to an accessible nearby Wi-Fi newtwork
- On A, turn the Wi-Fi hotspot service on (whatever password is set it is to be used by B to access the Wi-Fi network this way created).
- On B, get access to the Wi-Fi newtwork created by A
Launch the app in both A and B and select your preferred language
In B, touch the "Camera" checkbox, then grant the requested camera permission to the app.
In A and in B touch the “Start” button, and wait for the streaming to flow, by looking at the monitor line at the top of the panel.
After the connection has occurred, in A, look at screen and use the commands available in the panel, especially those ones of the "Remote device" section, to control the way B makes the capturing and the forwarding of frames to A.
For recording purposes you can operates in each of the following ways:

In order to use more features of the app I suggest to have a look at the user guide you can find at https://appsdips.com/apps/getmypov/en/user_guide_common.php because the app has several features that cannot be bound in a small guide.

Access through Internet

If you have a router which is assigned with a public IP address by your internet provider, you can reach B fron anywhere by A as follows :

Connect B to the Wi-Fi network provided by the router. Select the 'Net server' mode. Enter the Settings and reach the 'Behavior as server' section, then touch the 'Get' button and copy the "Local address", "in port" and "out port" items into a port forwarding record of the router, then choose the external ports to be mapped to the internal ones just filled in.
In A, select the 'Net client' mode, then enter the Settings, reach the 'Network data' section and select the 'Connect from public context' option and fill in the "Public address", "TX port" and "RX port" fields, respectively with the public address of the router and the external ports you defined above.
Make sure A has the data connection activated.

Make a "Start" and you are ready to control the camera of B from anywhere by A, changing the "Capture format" selecting the dedicated switch and activating the 'Zoom control' before entering the full screen view (by means of the

button).

Remember that if you switch the "Camera" checkbox on in A - in addition or in alternative to B - B could control the camera of A.

GetMyPov c - Quick start

GetMyPov f / GetMyPov c - Quick start

the "Motion follower" function is available
You can experiment full control of the partner in every situation: either in respect of an instance of GetMyPov h or in the "Internet" scenario: "Motion detection", "Rate of use" and the remote desktop management can be activated/accessed from remote.
Note that an instance of GetMyPov c can control even a watcher "repeated" through an instance of GetMyPov h (running in "Repeater" mode).

GetMyPov h - Quick start

Install the app on one device. Let's say it A.
Install GetMyPov f at least in two other devices. Let's say them B and E.
On A, turn the Wi-Fi hotspot service on (whatever password is set it is to be used by B and E to access the Wi-Fi network this way created).
On B and E, get access to the Wi-Fi newtwork created by A and make sure the 'Camera' checkbox is de-selected
Launch the respective app in all of the three devices.

for broadcasting to B and E from A :

in A select the "Broadcast" mode and grant the requested camera permission to the app
touch "START" in A and then touch "START" in B and E
wait for the streaming(s) to flow looking at the monitor line at the top fo the panel in each device.

for A to receive the streaming from B and E and for A to control B and E:

touch "STOP" (if needed) on all of the three devices
in A select the "Controller" mode
In both of the two B and E devices, select the 'Camera' checkbox and, if not already done, grant the requested camera permission to the app.
touch "START" in A and then touch "START" in B and E
Once all the connections have occurred and in A two different scenes are observable, in A touch the button, look at the bottom of each area, to discover the name of the streaming device, then choose one of the two scenes to make a tap on it
At this point, A offers the management of the device associated to the previously selected scene
Use the commands available in the area of the panel labeled "Remote device" and, at the end of the experience, touch the "<-" to return back to the multi-scene view for trying the other scene in the same way or, by means of the button, to recall multi-scene commands superimposed on the two scenes.

for A to repeat the streaming coming from B and forwarding it to E and possibly to other devices (managed like E) :

in B select the 'Camera' checkbox
in E make sure the 'Camera' checkbox is de-selected
in A select the "Repeater" mode and then touch "START".
in B touch "START" and after that in E touch "START".
wait for seeing the same scene either in A or in E
Then, if you have a router that receive a public IP address from your internet provider you can have B accessing A from "Internet", selecting the 'Net client' mode on B and making in A analogous steps suggested in 'GetMyPov f - Quick start' for B (described there) Here the instance of GetMyPov h (A), can repeat/broadcast along the local network (to E ...) what gets from the outside (B), and B can be controlled not only by A but also by any instance of GetMyPov c possibly present in the Wi-Fi network (in this case, by E if it is an instance of GetMyPov c)..
