Remote Control Antari BCR-1 Wireless 2.4GHz — Remote for Fog and Haze Machines

The Antari BCR-1 Wireless 2.4GHz remote is a compact radio controller intended for use with compatible Antari fog and haze machines. It enables wireless activation and basic control of machine output from a distance, allowing operators to trigger fog or haze without direct access to the unit. The device operates on the 2.4GHz band and is designed to integrate into live event, club, theatre and rental environments where remote machine control is needed.

Advantages

The remote provides straightforward on/off and control functions over a reliable 2.4GHz connection, reducing the need for wired runs and simplifying setup. Its compact form factor and clear controls make it easy to operate under stage conditions. Wireless control helps maintain consistent effects timing and improves safety by allowing operators to remain at a distance from heat or moving stage elements.

Suitable for

• Live performance and stage productions requiring remote fog or haze activation
• Nightclubs and bars where floor-level access to machines is limited
• Theatrical and film sets needing timed or remote-controlled atmospheric effects
• Rental fleets and AV installations that benefit from wireless triggering

When it may not be suitable

The Antari BCR-1 is designed for basic wireless on/off and control functions and does not replace systems that require advanced DMX addressing or multi-parameter programming. Installations that need integration with complex lighting or show-control systems relying on full DMX protocol may require a different interface or additional converters. Also, environments with extreme radio interference may affect the effective wireless range.

Key specifications

• Wireless frequency: 2.4 GHz
• Control type: wireless on/off and basic machine control
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible Antari fog and haze machines
• Form factor: handheld radio remote
• Typical use range: suitable for stage and event distances (actual range depends on environment)

How to use

Pair the remote with a supported Antari fog or haze machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then use the device’s buttons to trigger the machine remotely and control basic output functions. Position the remote within the effective radio range and ensure line-of-sight where possible for best reliability. Replace batteries as recommended and verify pairing before each event to confirm correct operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your specific Antari fog or haze machine model.
• Check whether your setup requires DMX or other advanced control protocols in addition to this remote.
• Consider the expected operating distance and potential radio interference at your venue.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, test the Antari BCR-1 in the venue prior to a performance, keep backup batteries available, and maintain a clear path between remote and machine when possible. Use this remote for straightforward on/off and trigger tasks and combine it with dedicated control systems when more complex programming is required.
