How it works / useful information

Note
If there is an active internet connection, the camera sends all recordings via the Hubble server. This is of vital importance when setting up the camera. Not all functions are available if there is no active internet connection (limited functionality).

• You can increase the range of the camera by placing it as high as possible near a door or a window.
• Other radio waves may possibly interfere with the transmission of the baby monitor. There-fore, do not position the baby monitor near devices such as microwaves, etc.
• The following other factors can interfere with the baby monitor's transmission or shorten its range: furniture, walls, houses, trees, environmental factors (such as fog, rain).

Note
On the Hubble homepage (http://beurer.hubbleconnected.com), you can activate the recording function at an additional charge. When the recording function is activated, events triggered by movements are automatically recorded and saved onto the Hubble server so that they can be viewed later.
