+ | |||
+ | [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing|VNC]] is a remote desktop utility. In other words, it's a straightforward way to see the graphical desktop of the Raspberry Pi that's inside your Vizy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Vizy comes with a VNC server installed and running. You will need a VNC viewer such as [[https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/|RealVNC]] to connect. Viewers are available that run on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note, the video preview that's available from the [[wiki:running_utilities|camera utilities]] won't be viewable in VNC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To connect, just point your VNC viewer to ''%%vizy.local%%'' as shown below: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{wiki:image_445.jpg?400}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use ''%%pi%%'' and ''%%raspberry%%'' as username and password to connect. | ||
+ | |||

+ | You'll get access to the Raspberry Pi's desktop if a connection is successfully made: | ||

+ | ===== Changing the password ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The VNC server is configured to use the usernames and passwords that are configured in Linux. So if you wanted to change the password for the ''%%pi%%'' username, you could do so from a shell. To bring up a shell, click on the ☰ icon in the upper right corner and select **Shell**. (Please refer to the [[wiki:vizy_getting_started|getting started guide]] if you need help with connecting to your Vizy, etc.) | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | From within the shell, type ''%%passwd%%'', which will change the password for the ''%%pi%%'' account. | ||
