Three Ways to Connect Your Baby Monitor
Direct mode
- The Parent unit and the Baby Unit are pre-paired and can connect to each other directly in Direct mode by default, which allows you to stream live video right out of the box.
Wi-Fi Router mode
- Router mode uses your home Wi-Fi network to connect your baby monitor system. It enhances your local access by extending connection range.
- With the LeapFrog mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included) also provides Internet connectivity to your baby monitor system, allowing you to control your Baby Unit wherever you are.
Test the Location
- If you plan to install your Baby Unit in a designated location and will use your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor, test whether your selected monitoring areas have good Wi-Fi signal strength.
- Adjust the direction and distance between your Baby Unit, Parent unit, and Wi-Fi router until you have identified a suitable location with a good connection.
Protect Your Privacy and Online Security
- LeapFrog 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.
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.
- 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.

Night Light
Want a softer hue from the Baby Unit’s night light to relax your little one? You can control the brightness of its glow remotely from your Parent unit, or directly on the Baby Unit.
- Adjust the night light on Baby Unit
- Tap the Night light control key located on the top of the Baby Unit to turn on and turn off the night light.
- Tap and hold the Night light control key to adjust the night light’s brightness level.
Note:
