 ====== Connect to Vizy over VNC ======
-There is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing|VNC]] server on Vizy that you can connect to.  Just point your VNC viewer such as [[https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/|RealVNC]] to ''%%vizy.local%%''
+[[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.
-{{wiki:image_445.jpg?50%}}
+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.
-Use ''%%pi%%'' and ''%%raspberry%%'' as username and password to connect.
+Note, the video preview that's available from the [[wiki:running_utilities|camera utilities]] won't be viewable in VNC.
