GoPro Pairing | Automatic Camera Control With REVER

Connecting a Camera

A new camera can be connected to REVER iOS version 6.1.0 and up:

Via the Profile Tab, Garage & Gear, Add Gear, Tap GoPro in Connected Gear
Or, scan the Add a GoPro Camera QR Code

Once there, follow the on screen instructions to connect your camera. When the camera is found, the user needs to agree to Pair when prompted by the iOS Bluetooth message. Once your camera is confirmed, your phone screen should look like this.

Selecting Connect will add the camera as Connected Gear to REVER and update the Main Map to include a GoPro button for easy access to the camera controls.

Setting up Camera Control Zones

After a camera is connected, the Camera Control view is displayed where users can set up custom Recording Zones

PROTIP: You can see the battery and SD time remaining for the camera in the upper left of this screen.

Add New Recording Zone

Adding a new Recording Zone is easy and fun. After navigating to the desired area on a map, the user can tap Start Drawing to draw a custom region of any shape and size.

When complete, the End Drawing button is used to finalize and then use Save to provide a name and store the activity.

PROTIP: Adding a new Recording Zone uses an online map, so a cell/network connection may be required.

Recording Zone List

As Recording Zones are added, they are displayed in a list in the Camera Control view. Each row displays the name of the Zone, its function (Camera Control/Recording ON) and active/inactive state.

PROTIP: Setting a Recording Zone to the Active state allows auto-recording within that region. Inactive Recording Zones are not processed.

Recording Zone Detail

Tapping a Recording Zone from the list above displays the Detail view. Here you can activate/inactivate the activity and seethe defined region on the map. In addition, a Delete button can be used to remove the Activity.

PROTIP: The Recording Zone Detail view can be used to troubleshoot recording, as you can see your current location (the blue puck) relative to the defined region.

PROTIP: Activating/Inactivating while in a Recording Zone will Start/Stop recording without touching the camera. This switch can be used to manually control the camera (toggle) while in a region.

PROTIP: Viewing a Recording Zone uses an online map, so a cell/network connection may be required.

Main Map

When a GoPro camera is connected, a new button is displayed on the REVER Main Map in the upper left corner. This provides instant access to the Camera Control view discussed above. In addition, it has 3 color states:

- Gray: GoPro Camera notcurrently connected (Tap to Connect)
- Blue: GoPro Camera isconnected (Camera is on/available)
- Red: GoPro Camera notcurrently connected (Tap to Connect)

PROTIP: Setting a Recording Zone to the Active state allows auto-recording within that region. Inactive Recording Zones are not processed.

Deleting a GoPro

Deleting a GoPro is managed through REVER Gear. Access Garage & Gear from the Profile Tab and swipe left on the GoPro row to display the Delete button.

Important: Launch State & Data

Upon launching REVER with a GoPro camera associated, the camera is not automatically re-connected and all Recording Zones default to inactive. This allows the user to decide if they are using a GoPro during their REVER session, and choose which zones to activate.

The button on the Main Map (shown above) will be gray, noting the disconnected state. The user needs to turn on their camera and then tap the GoPro button to reconnect. Once connected, the user can activate the regions for that session.

This prevents significant amounts of unnecessary processing and saves battery on both the phone and the GoProcamera.

Delete GoPro from REVER using instructions above.
Go to iOS Settings, Bluetooth, locate your camera and tap the (i) button. Choose ‘Forget this Device’.
On the GoPro Camera,swipe down, then left and choose ‘Connections’. Scroll down and choose ‘Reset Connections’.

Frequently Asked Questions

What GoPro cameras are supported?

You can use a GoPro HERO 9 or HERO 10 with thelatest firmware installed. We highly recommend using the new Enduro battery forbetter performance in cold weather and improved battery life.

MyGoPro won’t connect

Make sure you have asupported camera.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone.
Confirm your camera is in Pairing Mode.

If you still have issues, follow the Complete Reset instructions above.

How long does the camera battery last?

We highly recommendusing the GoPro Enduro battery and have consistently tested for around 2 hourswith equal times in standby and recording. Of course there are many factorsthat impact battery life, so make sure you head out with a stash of fully chargedEnduro batteries!

Willthis kill the battery on my phone?

While use of the GPS and Bluetooth impact battery life, a fully charged phone will typically last up to 8 hours, while afully charged GoPro Enduro battery will last up to 2 hours.

Can I set up and control Multiple Cameras?

Not at this time. The current REVER integration only supports connecting to and controlling one GoPro camera.

Can I still start and stop recording using the Camera button or remote?

Yes, and the icon on the REVER map screen will properly reflect recording state. If you manually Stop recording while inside a Recording Zone, the camera will immediately Start recording again. To Stop recording while inside a Recording Zone, you need to set the Recording Zone to inactive.

Can I have multiple Recording Zones active at the same time?

Yes, and a number of smaller recording zones is recommended over a single large zone (unless that’s what you really want!)Free-form drawing of zones provides ultimate precision and better footage. Avoid overlapping zones for best results.

Why isn’t recording starting/stopping precisely as I enter/leave my Zone?

If you are traveling at a high rate of speed, make sure to include a ‘buffer’ to ensure the GPS and camera have time to start and stop near your zone of interest. The phone only receives GPS updates every second, so at high speeds, a lot of ground can be covered in that time. Plan ahead and you’ll be stoked!

GoPro Quik can’t find my camera when I’m using REVER?

You can use GoPro Quik and REVER at the same time, you’ll just need to manually disconnect the camera from REVER first. This can be done using the ‘plug’ icon in the header of the Recording Zone List.

How do I delete a Recording Zone?

You can swipe left on the row in the Recording Zone List or tap the zone and use the Delete button at the bottom of theDetails view.
