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.

• 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.
