Please note: It is crucial to thoroughly read the entire description before purchasing FieldMonitor.

Prior to purchasing FieldMonitor, it is recommended to test your camera's compatibility with its native Wi-Fi app. Verify that your desired workflow and recording formats are supported. Additionally, ensure that the native app provides the necessary controls and meets your expectations in terms of image quality and lag. If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact us.
