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.

After you have connected the parent unit and the camera unit, refer to the Quick start guide included in your package to set up your HD video monitor system.
HD video monitor setup:
- Set up Wi-Fi connection
- 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.
Test the sound level and position the HD video monitor
Notes :
- 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
CAUTION :
- 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
CAUTION :
- 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.
- Place the camera unit more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from your baby
- Adjust the angle of the camera to aim at your baby. Refer to the online manual on how to use the Pan/tilt and Zoom functions of the camera
- 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)
Notes :
- Check for reception strength and camera 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 camera units.
- Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark the top and the bottom holes as shown. Remove the wall mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (7/32 inch drill bit).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the camera unit on the wall mount bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the camera unit.
- You can maximize your camera unit’s viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket. Hold the camera unit, and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket. Tilt your camera 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.
