I have two wireless camera cars. The latest theater car release and the original cupola caboose cam car. I've tried to sign on to both of them at the same time with the idea of switching between them. i had them on the same powered track and on separately powered tracks. I've not been able to connect to both at the same time. I think I've connected each of them to my home network. Can more than one camera car be connected to, in my case my iPhone App at the same time?

If you've been able to get each of the camera cabooses to connect back to your home network, see if you can connect to each of them using separate browser tabs. I think the iPhone App is only able to connect to one at a time but don't quote me on that just yet.
The app will allow viewing of 4 cameras as long as they are on a network. When they are directly connected to the smart device it’s 1 at a time. Here is the 4 view screen without cameras connected.
It is accessed from this screen, the 4 squares upper left.

Marty - Is that on an iPhone or Android device? I don't remember that option from several years ago. Ultimately though, I had so many connectivity issues with two camera cabooses, I just stopped fooling with them.

iPhone. Full disclosure I never tried it myself.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll try again in the morning.
I tried. No joy. Resigned to one camera on line. Thanks again for the suggestions.
I can confirm it will work, all devices (cameras, and phone/tablet) must be on the same network. I’ve even piggy backed one car on to another with a modular layout. That “worked” but not the best option, the best way is to have everyone on your home network or another separate wireless router if your main is too far away from your trains
I guess I’m doing something wrong. Don’t know what, but I’ll try again.
