Record your soccer matches without a camera operator

With Veo, you can record, analyze and mark every highlight of your soccer match. In your Veo account, you can see your highlights, download them and easily share them. No cameraman is needed, our software does it all. By tracking the action we create a broadcast view that follows the ball. By capturing the entire field we can also give you the controls with our panorama and interactive viewers. In other words, Veo is how to record soccer matches.

So, how does Veo work?

Veo is an easy-to-use camera solution for recording soccer matches. From ordering, activating and starting to use the camera there are only a few easy steps to follow. Upon receiving the camera from us, you’ll receive an account that gives you access to the Veo app on app.veo.co. When you have received the camera simply connect it to your account via our app on your smartphone and you are ready to hit the field! Follow the steps on our user guide.

We understand that on the soccer pitch minutes before a match, the last thing you want is complicated installation procedures of your technical equipment. We have made it as easy as possible to record your soccer match. Arrive at the field, mount your camera or place your tripod as high as possible near the center of the pitch. Roughly half the height away from the sideline and you are ready to record.

The last step before you can start recording is confirming the full pitch is visible by checking your preview on your smartphone. Simply press the record button and your recording is underway. The process from setting up the camera to starting your recording takes most users under two minutes.

After the match

When the match has finished, you can simply stop the recording from your smartphone, connect the camera to the ethernet and the recording automatically get uploaded to your account. Within 24 hours, our intelligent software will return a fully automated video with the AI followcam, tactical, interactive and panoramic views.

While the pure video of the soccer match is static, the Follow Cam AI-software that processes the match after it’s uploaded will give you the experience of the camera following the ball around the pitch. Because our camera captures the entire pitch all the time, it gives you both the experience of being able to see the soccer match and the possibility to take over the controls and focus on tactical elements on the whole pitch.

 Not only does Veo offer an affordable and portable solution to actually record your soccer matches. The subscription to our software provides a professional analysis tool where you can create and share highlight videos from your matches, tag players and more.

How to record a soccer match step by step

Recording a soccer match with Veo Cam 3 takes under 2 minutes to set up. Here is the complete process from arrival to kick-off:

1. Choose your position. Set up behind the halfway line touchline, elevated as high as possible. A tripod at 3 to 5 metres height at the halfway line covers both penalty areas on a standard full-size pitch. For smaller pitches, move the camera toward whichever end is harder to see from center.
2. Mount the camera. Extend the tripod fully, attach the Veo Cam 3 to the head, and ensure it is level and stable. The camera should face directly across the pitch, not at an angle.
3. Connect via the app. Open the Veo app on your phone and connect to the camera via Bluetooth. Check the live preview to confirm the full pitch is visible from touchline to touchline.
4. Press record. Tap record in the app. The camera runs automatically from this point. You do not need to touch it again until the match is over.
5. Stop and upload. After the match, stop the recording from the app. Connect the camera to Wi-Fi or ethernet and footage uploads automatically to your Veo account.

How to analyze soccer footage after the match

Recording the match is step one. The coaching value comes from what you do with the footage. Within hours of upload, Veo's AI generates a tracked follow-cam view alongside the original full-field recording. Coaches have both available simultaneously.

Three ways to use the footage effectively:

• Clip specific moments. Use the Veo platform to cut 30 to 60 second clips of individual plays, set pieces, or defensive sequences. Shorter clips hold player attention better than showing full halves.
• Add annotations. Draw lines, arrows, and shapes directly on the footage to highlight movement patterns, positioning errors, or tactical execution. Share annotated clips with individual players before the next training session.
• Review from both views. The full-field panoramic view shows team shape, pressing organisation, and off-ball movement. The tracked view shows the ball-near action clearly. Switching between the two gives a complete picture of what happened.
