Garmin Report post Posted May 27, 2016 Garmin has once again made an innovative integration between two products that hunting dog owners will love. This time itâs between VIRB action cameras and your Alpha or Astro tracking/training system. Before now, you had to just fit your VIRB dog harness, turn your cameras on at the truck, start recording and let your dogs run. Now, you can utilize your Alpha and Astro to communicate directly with VIRB action cameras as a remote, but did you know that it is possible to start recording from up to nine miles away? If you love watching how your dogs work when theyâre out of sight, whether youâre hunting birds, hogs, mountain lions, coons or bears, youâll find this to be a valuable tool to film your hunts.

Posted by Garmin Fish & Hunt on Friday, December 4, 2015 Before setting up your Alpha or Astro with your Garmin VIRB action camera, make sure your handheld is updated to the latest software by using Garmin Express. To pair your VIRB and Alpha/Astro, follow these simple steps: The VIRB must be near the T5 or TT15 collar and have Remote turned on and set to ‘Main VIRB’ in its settings. To use the feature on Alpha 100, go to Dog List > select a dog > Show Info > Menu > VIRB Control. Follow Garmin Fish & Hunt on social media for all things hunting and fishing.
