In the Lionel wireless cam app on my iPad, I have recordings from my CupolaCam Caboose. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to export them. I assume there’s a way. Do you know what it is?

Export them to where ?
To anywhere outside the cam app. For example, to attach to an email, to put in my trains file, to insert into a post, etc., etc.
I use my Android phone. To download, I plug it into my computer, find the video file, cut it and paste it to a computer file.
Not sure I get what you mean by export. They are simply video files that can be copied and pasted to wherever you want. From there, you can send them to wherever you want.

I’m referring to the video recordings that were taken by the CupolaCam Caboose and that reside in the Lionel wireless cam app. My difficulty is that I cannot figure out how to copy them or attach them.
The video files are stored on your device, most likely in a folder called "video". I am not that familiar with apple devices but if you use your file manager app on your device you should be able to find them. Once you have located them you can copy and paste to another location (such as an attached external device) or find them to attach to an email.

Keith, from your Ipad, go into the Lionel wireless cam app. You will find the files. Mine is under CM2510 with a long extension. Click on that folder. You should see alarm, download, record, and snapshot. Not sure what the first two do, but click on record and your videos should be there. Copy and paste to your desktop. Snapshots works the same way.

Yes, I know where they are. All I can do is play them. Can’t copy them. That’s my difficulty.
Well, you should be able to. All I can think of is to try hooking up with different devices or reinstalling the software.

Not 100% sure, but I think you need to save it first to your iPad. If you're familiar with how to save a picture to your iPad from a website, text or e-mail, try that - bring up the video and press and hold your finger on it and see if a box comes up asking if you want to save or copy or paste it. Hit save and it may save it to your photos folder on the iPad. If that works, you should be able to send or export it anywhere.
Checkout this video I made it covers how to do this with an iPad. Best to show rather than try to explain. If anyone has android sorry but I can’t help there. I start going over the app at 7:10 in the video. Hope it helps!
Zachariah, in your video you give the “secret”: press and hold the video and a window will open with various export options. Thank you!!!
No problem glad it helped

Yes, the trick is holding your finger on the video. Not exactly obvious. How would someone know this unless they knew it?
Thank you!
I am debating whether to order a Cupolacam caboose from the vol. II 2021 catalog...does the camera in the cupola take crisp and sharp videos? I assume their not HD level camera quality?
I didn't follow all the steps described above, and in layman's terms, assuming the camera takes good video, then I take it you can record the session on your phone, and then transfer to Youtube?
FWIW: I already have a HD camcorder that I have mounted on a flatcar...and trying to understand the benefits of the cupolacam caboose. It seems to me that it's more of "wow feature" for entertaining guests, such that each person could see the operating session on their phone, once they have the app?
