A system and method for remotely monitoring an elevator controller that controls an elevator, where the elevator controller includes one or more visual indicators of the status or operating mode of the elevator, such as LED indicator lights and an LCD display. The system includes an optical device, such as a digital camera, positioned to provide images of the visual indicators and a processor responsive to the images from the optical device. The processor processes and analyzes the images and provides processed data and other information of the operation of the elevator. A communications device transmits the processed data, and a remote application provided remotely from the elevator receives the processed data, which may include the images themselves or information identifying an elevator problem or other issue.
