Connect GoPro to Home Network

[aL3891]

Is your feature request related to a problem or use case? Please describe. I'd like to control and see live previews from several gopros from a computer, however since only wifi AP is supported, this is not possible

Describe the solution you'd like Enable gopros to connect to an exsisting wifi network

Describe alternatives you've considered I suppose its possible to use several wifi adapters but that is very cumbersome

Additional context Having the ability to connect many gopros to a single network would unlock a lot of scenarios and make others alot easier

Hello. This unfortunately is a design constraint of the current WiFi network topology.

You can, of course, control the cameras serially by connecting / disconnecting WiFi as needed to send commands. But that will incur some serious latency due to the numerous connection overheads.

So I do certainly see the benefit to your request; I'm just not sure if it is feasible. I will take this up internally and get back to you.

Connecting to an existing WiFi AP already supported by GoPro cameras for something called Camera as a Hub (codename CAH), which is the daemon tasked with sending media to the GoPro cloud servers. Having the opengopro API server / gpControl API server run alongside it and listen to requests on the GoPro exposed IP (0.0.0.0) would accomplish this. Not too far off from the gopro/camera/control/wired_usb API call.

Hi guys !

I'm also super interested in that feature. Any plan about it ?

Cheers!
