IVY REC likewise features Bluetooth 4. 2 and WiFi 802. 11b/g/n, as well as support for the Canon Mini Cam, which provides access to image and video settings, battery life info, and remaining storage capacity.
The Canon Mini Cam app offers a live viewfinder mode and remote shutter with timer, plus there's the ability to wirelessly transfer images from the camera to a mobile device. As indicated by Canon's marketing, the model is also durable with a shockproof/waterproof design and support for operating temperatures from -10C to 40C (14F to 104F). The camera measures 110. 5mm x 45. 2mm x 18. 5mm (4. 4in x 1. 8in x 0. 7in).
The IVY REC Outdoor Camera will be available from Canon in Avocado (green), Riptide (blue), and Dragon Fruit (pink) colors starting next month for $129. 99.
