AMOS video meteor system has been installed and commissioned in Hawaii in September, 2018. Crew of two from Comenius University (Zigo, Simon) travelled to Hawaii. First AMOS was installed atop of Airglow building on the summit of Haleakala, within the premises of Haleakala Observatories. Installation was done with the help and assistance of Peter Veres (CfA) and Dan O'Gara (IfA Maui). Special thanks goes to IfA Maui summit technicians and day crew of Pan-STARRS telescopes. Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii (IfA) kindly supports this project and we acknowledge Michael Maberry (IfA Assistent Director), Robert McLaren (IfA Interim Director), Robert Jedicke (IfA) for their institutional support in Maui. Within the same trip, AMOS was installed on Mauna Kea, on the roof of SMA building.
