Can the camera be turned on and off via iOS, Android, and Laptop controls? Are all functions available via these controls?

We only use the IPad app, it works great. The video is a little delayed from 25 foot pole extension for filming games. Great for slow or no motion. It tapes fine, but the delay causes you to anticipate where the ball is going or the play is moving and you may guess wrong. For other applications it would work great.

I would go to canon.com and check out their website instead. I just make music videos basically and am no tekkie. Their facebook page ALSO accepts messages. I'd try their web site or visit their FB page. There's an upgrade I haven't done yet cuz it takes the usb cable that came w/the camera and I'm not filming until spring. Good luck, those are questions imo for Canon. (their editing software isn't good as per a call w/one of their peeps.) Everything else is great but get w/Canon imho. Happy New Year too.

If I remember correctly, you have to connect it to a computer (desk top PC in my case) via a USB cable to control tne settings and configuration. I doubt that would be possible with a phone or tablet (at least not with my apple products.)

Yes you can. With the Swan app you can access the menu that will allow you to control the system from your iPad or iPhone. I found that a monitor and a mouse made it easier to setup and tweek the camera settings, but it can be done with an iPad or iPhone. DJK

Yes, on Camera, there are multiple options, also it's camera smart automatic, or manual. I hope this was helpful to you.

Yes you can turn the touch screen feature off. On the one I have it was turned off originally. I turned it on from an option in the menu. The touch screen feature has it advantages, with the feature turned on you can still use the shutter button. I am very happy with the camera.

To power-on and take pictures, Yes. To zoom or change to video, No. The only functions of the camera that will be available for you to use are the ones that you press a button to use. If you have to rotate/spin a dial of sorts in order to perform a function, then you're SOL.

I do not know if touch screen can be disabled, for there are no other controls other than on the touch screen. One of my complaints about the Coolpix is that battery can only be charged in the camera, but I was able to purchase a Vivitar charger to charge a second battery outside the camera.

No, the app does not allow you to control your camera. It's just for transferring pictures from the camera to your phone.

You can turn the camera on and off. It takes both video and stills. Do NOT buy this one, it's a piece of crap, it will break easily. The gears are CHEAP PLASTIC, where the shaft goes thru center of gear, the screw that tightens on the shaft will strip on first crash.

Im not sure. I am a droid user and I can do it from my phone. These cameras are nice. Go to your app store and look at some of them and just email the creator of the app if your not sure. allot of times they will list the cameras in the app description.

If paired with the wifi remote (sold separately) you can turn it on and off. I use it with the smartphone app and you can control all the functions and preview and view video and photos but won't turn on and off camera at this time.

I doubt you can hold a button down via wifi, I believe you can set a long period of open shutter time though. Email CamRanger, their support is very good and somewhat prompt. support@camranger.com

Yes, once you set it up for remote access. I was able to view the camera real-time and rotate the camera from my iPad while traveling. I am pretty sure you will be able to do this from an android device as well.

Yes, you can turn the camera on and off using the BacPac, however, the BacPac must be on for this to work.

Yes, the android button gives you the option to both take pictures and start / stop video.

This is a digital or IP camera. You can only control with a Web based device (smartphone, compute or tablet.

As far as I know, no you can't. I have had this camera for a year now and haven't found a way to turn it off
