Universal bluetooth remote control for A12 cams.

[nutsey]

I noticed some time ago that the bash script file:

/usr/local/share/script/bt_start_hid.sh

and /usr/local/share/script/rc_dechi.sh for some of TAROKO EVK cams (you can check your cam's EVK version and more with this script)

found in the Linux partition of A12-based cams contain the following text:

    echo "Usage2: $0 \"MAC Address\" (support BLE only)"
    echo "for example connect to \"[B]XiaoYi_RC[/B]\" Selfie Stick remote by:"

And today Marcofan76 confirmed the Xiaomi Yi bluetooth remote control to be compatible with at least some of A12 cams.

Another confirmation is here. This is a photo of what bundled with an action cam based on A12 SoC.

Good news!!! Many thanks.

Got my Yi remote today. I can confirm that most likely you can use it with your A9- or A12-based cam if it has the 'Bluetooth Pair' option in the settings menu.

my Eken H8 Plus is "Dragonfly" and does not have any bluetooth options. however, the included red/white/black remote works fine.

can we control multiple camera with a single bluetooth remote ( start recording video on multiple camera at the same time) thanks

Or mimic the bluetooth command with a mobile phone?
