Setup with instructions The Jupiter works as a complete magnifier on its own, but it is a full video magnifier with settings to learn, plus a phone and tablet connection feature. A family member can usually set it up in about 30 minutes using the documentation. It costs a lot, so a demo first is wise to make sure it fits your needs.
