Direct mode

The parent unit and the baby unit of your video monitor connect to each others in Direct mode by default, which allows you to stream live video right out of the box. Direct mode connection lets you stream live video from parent unit only.
Direct Mode

Tip

  • You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and baby unit are far apart, or there are obstructing factors, such as internal walls, between them. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit to improve the signal strength. You can also set up Router mode to connect via your home Wi-Fi network to improve the connection between your parent unit and baby unit.

Router mode

Router Mode
You can continue using your video monitor with Direct mode connection, or you can set up your monitor in Router mode connection.

Router mode uses your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor. It supports streaming live video through parent unit and smartphone app.

We recommend that you set up your monitor in Router mode to enjoy streaming live video via your parent unit with better connection.

If you want to stream live video remotely with your mobile device, download and install the MyVTech Baby Pro mobile app. With the mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included) provides Internet connectivity to your HD video monitor system. It serves as a communicating channel between your baby unit and mobile device, allowing you to monitor and/or control your baby unit wherever you are. For detail, see Download app for mobile access section in this quick start guide.

Notes

  • Your parent unit detects the connection signal strength. If you have connected your video monitor with your home Wi-Fi network, your parent unit automatically switches to direct or router mode - the one that has stronger signal strength.
  • When both parent unit and app are viewing the camera simultaneously, the video quality will be optimised to deliver the best possible viewing result.

VTech cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That's why we've put together a list of industry-recommended best practices to help keep your wireless connection private and your devices protected when online. We recommend you carefully review and consider complying with the following tips.

Ensure your wireless connection is secure.

  • Before installing a device, ensure your router's wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the "WPA2-PSK with AES" setting in your router's wireless security menu.

Change default settings.

  • Change your wireless router's default wireless network name (SSID) to something unique.
  • Change default passwords to unique, strong passwords. A strong password:
    • Is at least 10 characters long.
    • Is complex.
    • Does not contain dictionary words or personal information.
    • Contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters and numbers.

Keep your devices up to date.

  • Download security patches from manufacturers as soon as they become available. This will ensure you always have the latest security updates.
  • If the feature is available, enable automatic updates for future releases.

Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router.

  • UPnP enabled on a router can limit the effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other network devices to open inbound ports without any intervention or approval from you. A virus or other malware program could use this function to compromise security for the entire network.

Baby Unit Location

Baby Unit Location
If you plan to install your baby unit in a designated location, and use your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor, you need to test which of your selected monitoring areas within the house have good Wi-Fi signal strength. After you have powered on your parent unit, you can use your parent unit's Wi-Fi signal strength indicator to assist in checking. Once you have identified the suitable location, you can install your baby unit. Adjust the distance between your baby unit and the Wi-Fi router if needed.

Tip

  • Depending on surroundings and obstructing factors, such as the effect distance and internal walls have on signal strength, you may experience reduced Wi-Fi signal. To improve the Wi-Fi signal strength, adjust the distance or direction of your parent unit. Check with your parent unit again.

Driven by system updates, the software, online help topics, and online FAQs will be updated periodically.

Install Baby Unit

Notes

  • Check for reception strength and baby unit angle before drilling the holes.
  • The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and anchors separately to mount your baby units.
  1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Remove the wall mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (7/32 inch drill bit).
    Install Baby Unit - Step 1
  2. If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
    • If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.
  3. Align the wall mount bracket and screws with the holes in the wall as shown. Tighten the screw in the middle hole first, so that the wall mount bracket position is fixed. You can tighten the other screw in the top hole.
    Install Baby Unit - Step 2
  4. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place. Connect the power adapter to the baby unit and a power supply not controlled by a wall switch.
    Install Baby Unit - Step 3

OR

  1. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed.
  2. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place. Align the holes on the wall mount bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide the wall mount bracket down until it locks into place.
    Install Baby Unit - Step 4
  3. You can maximize your baby unit's viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket.
    Hold the baby unit, and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket. Tilt your baby unit up or down to adjust to your preferred angle. Then, rotate the knob in clockwise direction to tighten the joint and secure the angle.
