Use the Vicon Control app with Tracker

Vicon Control connects wirelessly to Vicon Tracker and streams camera data to your mobile or tablet, enabling a single user to change camera settings, calibrate the system, and start or stop capture from anywhere in the volume.

Vicon Control is support on both iOS and android operating systems.
