AlphaRelay Copilot presents one Start Mission action. It creates an Internet mission and automatically starts Live stream (WebRTC) when the device has validated internet.

​
Online mission

Use the normal Start Mission workflow on cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or VPN internet.
  • Mission metadata and events sync to the cloud.
  • Remote live starts automatically.
  • Mission Overwatch can watch live and log quick, typed, or dictated events.
  • Footage may upload during closeout or continue from the durable upload queue.

​
Offline mission

If validated internet is unavailable, Start Mission still begins local capture and event logging. Remote live cannot start, and cloud work waits in the sync and footage queues. When connectivity returns, queued Android footage resumes automatically; mission metadata and events also retry through the normal sync path.

​
Deployment-specific Local Network relay

The current public Copilot workflow does not show a Local Network mission button. Some older or deployment-specific Android builds may expose Local Network and Live Overwatch Screen for same-Wi-Fi relay viewing. In those builds:
  • The pilot and Mission Overwatch devices must share a reachable Wi-Fi network.
  • Live Overwatch Screen connects to the pilot device by LAN IP.
  • Remote live and cloud sync remain separate internet paths.

​
Quick decision

Remote live and cloud sync use internet. A deployment-specific LAN relay uses local Wi-Fi and is a separate connection path.
See Connectivity for what requires internet vs local Wi‑Fi.

​
Controller Screen Capture

On integrated Android drone controllers, AlphaRelay enters Controller Screen Capture after Start Mission. On detected DJI SDK-controller setups, it is the recommended default beside the optional verified Pilot mode. Controller Screen Capture changes the live source and aircraft-control behavior, not the mission-start action. In this mode, the controller’s native flight app controls the aircraft while AlphaRelay captures the controller screen, streams it to the mission, records screen footage, and logs events. → Controller Screen Capture

DJI Avata with DJI Goggles

Goggles Mode requires internet for remote live and sync. On a prepared Android device, a wired connection to compatible DJI Goggles turns on the mode automatically, bypasses mission and scenario selection, and starts remote live from the DJI Fly goggles view. → DJI Avata with DJI Goggles
