Key Fob Remote Control

Updated Today · 1 min read

The Foto Master Key Fob is a wireless remote control that lets you trigger the booth experience from a distance. Instead of guests tapping the screen to start, an operator, photographer, or attendant can press the key fob to initiate a capture at the perfect moment.

How It Works

The key fob communicates wirelessly with the booth hardware. When pressed, it sends a trigger signal that FMX interprets as a session start or capture command, depending on your workflow configuration.

Pairing the Key Fob

Ensure the key fob has a fresh battery
In FMX, navigate to Global Settings > Devices
Enter the key fob pairing mode
Press the button on the key fob to register it
Confirm the pairing is successful in the Devices screen

Use Cases

Photographer-controlled sessions -- A photographer or attendant decides the best moment to capture, ensuring better compositions and expressions
Accessibility -- Guests who cannot easily reach the booth touchscreen can have an attendant trigger the capture remotely
Group coordination -- An attendant can wait until the entire group is ready and positioned before triggering
Hands-free operation -- Start the booth without touching the screen

Battery and Range

Battery type: Standard coin cell battery (CR2032 or similar)
Range: Effective within approximately 10-30 feet (3-10 meters), depending on the environment
Battery life: Lasts through many events with normal use. Carry a spare battery in your event kit.

Tip: Test the key fob range at each venue before the event starts. Walls, metal structures, and wireless interference can reduce effective range.
