How the system works
Local mode
The Parent unit and the camera unit of your video monitor connect to each others in Local mode by default, which allows you to stream live video right out of the box. Local mode connection lets you stream live video from parent unit only.
![vtech - RM7754HD - Local mode Local mode]()
TIP
- You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and camera unit are far apart, or there are obstructing factors, such as internal walls, between them. Move the parent unit closer to the camera unit to improve the signal strength. You can also set up Remote mode to connect via your home Wi-Fi network to improve the connection between your parent unit and camera unit.
Remote mode
You can continue using your video monitor with Local mode connection, or you can set up your monitor in Remote mode connection.
Remote 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 Remote 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 1080p 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 camera unit and mobile device, allowing you to monitor and/or control your camera unit wherever you are. For detail, see Mobile access section in the quick start guide.
![vtech - RM7754HD - Remote mode Remote mode]()
NOTE
- 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 local or remote mode - the one that has stronger signal strength.
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.

Test the location for the camera unit
If you plan to install your camera 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 camera unit. Adjust the distance between your camera unit and the Wi-Fi router if needed.
![vtech - RM7754HD - Test the location for the camera unit Test the location for the camera unit]()
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.
