How the system works

Direct mode
Your baby monitor parent unit and baby unit connect to each other in Direct mode by default, which allows you to immediately stream video out of the box. It is NOT recommended to continue using Direct Mode connection after initial installation.

Local access, for starLtoucpalqaucicceksvs iew and setup stage.

You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and baby unit are far apart, or there are obstructing factors, such as internal walls, between them. You have to set up Router mode to connect the units via your home Wi-Fi network to improve the connection between your parent
unit and baby unit.

Router mode

You are required to set up your monitor in Router mode to enjoy live video streaming via your parent unit with an enhanced connection. Router mode is the recommended mode for stable connectivity.

Router mode uses your home WiFi network to connect your video monitor. It supports live video streaming through the parent unit and smartphone app.

Mobile access

If you want to stream live video

remotely with your mobile device,

download and install the MyVTech Baby Pro mobile app. With the mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included)

Connecting Wi-Fi to enhance local access

provides Internet connectivity to your

HD video monitor system. It serves as a communicating channel between your baby unit

and mobile device, allowing you to monitor and/or control your baby unit wherever you

are. For more details, see Download app for mobile access section in this quick start guide.

· When both parent unit and app are viewing the camera simultaneously, the video quality will be optimised to deliver the best possible viewing result.

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.

Notes
· Check for reception strength and camera angle of the baby unit before drilling the holes.
· The types of screws and plugs you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and plugs separately to mount your baby units.

1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Remove the wall mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (7/32 inch drill bit).

2. 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 plugs into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall plugs are flush with the wall.

3. 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.
4. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place. Connect the power adapter to the baby unit and a power supply not controlled by a wall switch.

3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed.
