# tell camera to
|
|
|
|
Access the photo/video-taking functionality of a remote device using the ``tell camera to`` function.
|
|
|
|
### ~hint
|
|
|
|
The functions in the ``devices`` namespace allow the @boardname@ to communicate with a separate (remote) device,
|
|
such as a smartphone, over Bluetooth (Smart).
|
|
The set of supported events will depend on the remote device and the @boardname@ apps available for the remote device.
