- Now Viofo 119S. Was Mobius Action Cam
How do you access Live Video. Or see what the camera sees?
Started the Mobius ActionCam app on my S3 running Android 4.3.
App loaded to home screen.
Started Configuration program.
Configuration screen works fine, changed setting and saved.
Return to Home screen.
Press Live Video.
Message; Camera is connected as mass storage...please tap camera button.
'Tapped button'
Message - 'Camera disconnected....' then went back to app launch screen.
Launched app again.
Screen showed 'Video Resolution 1280x720' ok.
Tapped ok.
Black screen - nothing......
After some time I tapped black screen.
Then text appears;-
Capture
Take Photo
Video record, plus 3 options.
Tapped Video Record.
Red recording bar shows and timer in top left corner of screen.
But NO Live Video…..
What I do find odd is that when I got to the black screen (after the Video Resolution screen) there was no indication whatsoever of what to do next, no 'Continue' or 'Press here', just a dead black screen.
Is this as it should be? Or how do access Live Video / WebCam so that you can see on the phone what the camera sees?
As you can set the camera configuration to auto record why have a second option in Live Video, the only reason I can think of is that you might want to record what you’re watching, which in my case I cannot!
