One of the points of Overseer is that deployment shouldn't require a project. Here's the practical checklist for getting a unit live at a customer site.
What to bring
- A SIM card with a data plan. The SIM7600G-H modem covers LTE bands B1/3/7/8/20/28/38/40/41, so a single global SIM works across most of Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
- Power for the unit.
- The machine's HDMI output and a USB port — these connect to Overseer's capture and input, the same connectors a local monitor and keyboard would use.
- A DIN-rail slot in the enclosure, if you want it mounted cleanly. Overseer is sized to fit a standard rail.
What you do not need
No static IP. No inbound firewall rule. No port forwarding. No coordination with the customer's network team. Because Overseer connects outbound — and can run entirely over its own cellular link — it sidesteps the on-site network entirely if you want it to.
From power-on to first session
Plug in the SIM, connect HDMI and USB to the target machine, and power up. The modem associates, the WireGuard tunnel comes up, and the unit is typically ready for remote access within about 30–60 seconds. From your side, you connect through your portal and you're looking at the machine's live screen with full keyboard and mouse control.
What's on the roadmap
For fixed installations where you'd rather use the local network when it's available and keep cellular as backup, automatic Ethernet-primary / 4G-failover is on the roadmap — useful for minimising cellular data use while guaranteeing the unit stays reachable.
