With the release of newer SJCAM Action Cameras comes the addition of wireless control. SJCAM cameras such as the M20, SJ6 Legend & SJ7 Star now include wireless RF control capabilities. This much anticipated feature is by far the best way of wirelessly controlling your SJCAM camera.

To date, SJCAM has two optional wireless remote controls available.

To use the SJCAM wireless remote, you must first pair the accessory with the camera. Please follow the pairing instructions below for your compatible camera model.

 

SJCAM M20 Remote Pairing

To pair the SJCAM wireless remote with the M20 Action Camera:

  1. Press and hold the top left button for 3 seconds to power on the M20.
  2. Press the top left button twice to enter the camera menu.
  3. Using the side buttons, find the “Remote Control” option and press the top right button to enter the menu.
  4. Using the side buttons, select “On” and press the top right button.
