  6. Tap the 3 dots at the top of the screen and select [Split View]

  14. You're now ready to operate the Glambot® Motion Controls and Snappic using split screen on an iPad

*If using an iPad without a cellular connection, your videos will not be able to upload in real time. This is because the Glambot® local Wi-Fi connection is needed to operate the Motion Control software. Instead, you will have to connect to Wi-Fi after the event so the videos can upload and send.

Advanced Settings:

  1. Go to the Wi-Fi settings on the iPad and tap the blue "i" logo next to the Glambot network

  2. Scroll down to IPV4 Address, then tap and hold on the IP Address and click copy

  3. Click [Configure IP] and select [Manual]

  4. Paste the IP address

  5. Enter 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet mask

  6. Click [Save] in the top right corner

  7. You will now see a spinning wheel when connecting to the Glambot Wi-Fi signal. This is normal and will still allow for control of the Glambot locally on the network. You should see the cellular connection in the top right corner of the iPad, which will allow the internet connection and Snappic videos to upload.
