WiFi Connect Overview
What is WiFi Connect? The app is designed to connect wirelessly to a GoPro camera and allows users to download and delete media files from its SD card. It also features a full-screen media player and HEVC down-converter for smooth playback on all computers. The app supports GoPro 4, 5, 6, and 7 HERO Black, Silver, White & Session cameras, and older types may also be compatible. The connection manager allows users to select a device and connect to it, and the app remembers known cameras and automatically connects to them upon the next app start. The app uses a "working" directory for downloads, and the HEVC converter allows users to down-convert movies to H.264 codec for smooth playback. The full-screen player enables playback of downloaded movies and images, and the app remembers the Wi-Fi network to which the computer was connected upon app start. The app requires location permission from Catalina OS version onwards to wake up cameras. Full documentation and a free demo are available on the website.
