Thank you for purchasing the Veo Observer. The Observer combines a high quality digital video camera with Ethernet ready connectivity and a powerful web server to bring clear video to your desktop from anywhere on your local network or over the Internet.

The Observer and your home or business network form a powerful audio/video remote monitoring solution. Just plug the Observer into any available Ethernet port and it’s ready to be accessed by any PC on the network running Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.

The built-in pan and tilt, live streaming audio, and snapshot/video capture functions can all be controlled directly from the camera’s on-board homepage. Capability for motion detection with e-mail notification may be added by purchasing an optional motion detector. The included Veo Observer Studio PC software adds multi-camera viewing and convenient, single click access.

Use the Observer to keep an eye on your home or business when you can’t be there. Give friends and relatives a window into your world or monitor and record anything from anywhere on the Internet.
