Aura is a WiFi-enabled digital picture frame that allows you and as many contributors as you'd like to upload an unlimited number of photos from your phone or tablet using our free Aura Frames app.
| This requires the Aura frame to be constantly connected to a WiFi network (2.4 GHz*) and plugged into a power outlet to operate and receive new photos. You can unplug the frame from the power source without issue, as long as the same 2.4 GHz* WiFi network is still available when the frame is plugged back in. |
*Our Walden and Aspen frames support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks.
Device Requirements:
Aura is compatible with both iOS and native Android devices, including phones and tablets from Google, Samsung, HTC, LG and many others. The app is recommended to control the frame as it offers all available features. However, once the frame is set up, users can control limited frame features without a device: Can Aura Frames be used without a smart device (phone / tablet)?
