How the system works

The Wi-Fi router (not included) provides Internet connectivity to your HD video monitor system. It serves as a communicating channel between your camera unit and parent unit, allowing you to monitor and/or control your camera unit wherever you are.

Protect your privacy and online security

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.

• Add camera

Test the location for the camera unit

Before you install your camera unit, 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 camera unit. Adjust the distance between your camera 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.

Note:

• This HD video monitor is intended as an aid. It is not a substitute for proper adult supervision, and should not be used as such.

Testing the sound level of the HD video monitor

• For hearing protection, make sure the parent unit is more than 10 feet (3 meters) away from the camera unit. If you hear any high-pitched noise from the parent unit, move the parent unit further until the noise stops. You can also press - VOL on the parent unit to lower or mute the noise.

Tip

• Increase the parent unit speaker volume if you cannot hear the sounds transmitted from the camera unit.

Positioning the HD video monitor

• Keep the camera unit out of the reach of your baby. Never place or mount the camera unit inside the baby's crib or playpen.

1. Place the camera unit more than 10 feet (3 meters) away from your baby.
   
2. Adjust the angle of the camera to aim at your baby.
   

Tip

• Increase the parent unit speaker volume if you cannot hear the sounds transmitted from the camera unit.

3. To avoid causing high-pitched screeching noise from your HD video monitor:

• Make sure your camera unit and parent unit are more than 10 feet (3 meters) apart; OR
• Turn down the volume of your parent unit.

Mount the camera unit (optional)

Items to purchase

You will need to purchase the following items separately to mount your baby unit:
2 screws 2 anchors

Note:

• The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall.

Note:

• Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.

1. Use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Make sure they are the same distance apart as the wall mount holes on the camera unit.
   
2. Drill two holes in the wall.

• 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 hole. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.
  

3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws in the holes until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed.
   
4. Depending on your preference, choose the upright or lateral orientation to mount your unit. Align the wall mount holes at the bottom or at the rear side of the camera unit with the screws on the wall. Slide the camera unit down until it locks into place
   
5. Tilt or rotate to adjust camera angle.

Can I turn off the parent unit screen but keep hearing sound from the camera unit?	Press LCD ON/OFF to turn off the screen display without powering off the parent unit. You can still hear sound from the camera unit if the camera is streaming, and the speaker volume of the parent unit is turned on.
Why does the camera unit not respond normally?	Try the following (in the order listed) for common cure: Disconnect the power to the camera unit. Wait a few minutes before connecting power back to the camera unit. Turn on the camera unit. Reboot the parent unit.
Why is my screen in black and white?	The camera unit has a light sensor that measures the ambient light. When the ambient light is dim, such as during nighttime or in a dark room, the camera activates its infrared LEDs, and displays the camera view in black and white.
Why does my camera show offline? Why is the connection lost every now and then?	The camera unit may lose the Internet connection. Check your network and the router setting. Other electronic products may cause interference with your camera. Try installing your camera as far away from these electronic devices as possible.
Why don't I hear a sound/Why can't I hear my baby cry?	The parent unit speaker volume may be too low. Press VOL + to increase the volume. You may have set a low VOX sensitivity level. Set the VOX sensitivity to a higher level. For details, refer to the online manual.
