text: The exterior is soft rubber. The only control to speak of is the Power button on top of the camera. When you turn it on a ring lights up around it to indicate connection status or battery level. There's a Bluetooth connection to your iPhone (the Mevo doesn't support Android or Windows Phone devices at this time), so the Mevo app automatically finds the camera when it's turned on.
  You can set the Mevo to connect to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone, or have the camera broadcast its own SSID and leverage your phone's data plan for streaming. You can usually get faster results from a Wi-Fi Internet connection, and you won't have to worry about eating away your data plan when streaming. And to be clear, the Mevo only works as well as your Internet connection—don't expect good streaming quality if you're in a dead zone.
  The camera supports the Livestream service, which starts at $42 per month and scales up to $1,199, depending on your needs. Corporate customers will want to use that to cover high-profile events. Most home users are going to look at the Mevo for use with Facebook, which is free. You can choose to stream to either service, or to record to the internal memory card, from the app.
