  • when not in use is placed in charger/case

Charger/case:

  • a hard case to protect Adeo when not in use
  • charges Adeo
  • provides storage for Adeo and wearable component
  • acts as a stand for stationary recording

Home Unit:

The home unit connects to all Adeo devices to manage media.
It also:
