Uplift Capture now supports capturing in environments with no network connection. While we still recommend a network connection for best results, you can now perform the following actions in Capture without a connection.
While disconnected from the internet, you will now be able to:
Start the Uplift Capture app
Start a new session
Go through the full camera setup and calibration
Fully capture an athlete through multiple movements
End and save your session.
Since captures are processed in the cloud, no data (CSVs, web visualizer, or PDF reports) will be generated until both devices are reconnected to the internet and the videos are uploaded.
Some notes and considerations when capturing while offline:
While you will be able to create new athletes, those athlete will not be created or updated in your account until your devices reconnect to the internet. If you create an athlete profile while offline and they athlete already exists in your account, when the device reconnects to the internet, the new athlete will be created with a "-1" added to the end of their name, so as not to conflict with the already-existing athlete.
Capture can still be interrupted if an internet connection is detected, but then drops in the middle of a session. In these cases, the session will need to be ended, and capturing restarted to continue. If you are in an environment with a spotty connection that keeps dropping, fully disconnecting from the network will prevent this situation. Just remember to reconnect later to upload the videos!
