Veo Ships Wireless Network Camera

April 28, 2003 - Veo announced today that its new Veo Wireless Observer network camera will be widely available to consumers in retail and distribution channels throughout the United States in May at a suggested retail price of $299.99. The latest addition to Veo's Observer network camera line, introduced last November, maximizes users' options of where to place the WiFi-ready (802.11b) camera for remote monitoring because it requires no Ethernet cabling and can be placed up to 300 feet from any WiFi access point. The camera also does not need to be tethered to a PC because of its built-in Web server.

Veo Observer network cameras enhance home and corporate security by allowing users to hear and see what is happening in their homes and businesses remotely over the Internet using Microsoft Internet Explorer. The cameras capture audio and video clips and digital snapshots. Live audio can be captured via internal or external microphones. The feature-rich cameras allow for built-in tilt and pan control from remote locations and can be set to automatically send e-mail alerts with attached snapshots when motion is detected. CCD sensors ensure good quality images, even in low-light conditions.

"Our customers are using the Observer network cameras for a wide variety of applications, such as viewing vacation homes, checking up on employees and business operations, or joining remotely for special family events from the road," says Tim Martin, Veo vice president. "With the new wireless Observer, it's now easier than ever to provide an added sense of security and peace of mind at a very affordable price."

The Veo Wireless Observer is easy to set up and access in minutes, and enables real-time video and still image capturing. A full-featured software package, included with camera purchase, allows for multi-camera viewing so users can monitor four camera locations at one time on a split screen and toggle between additional cameras using a drop down menu.
