What does HD Video Monitor do?

VTech 7-inch Smart Wi-Fi 1080p Video Monitor allows you to stay close to your baby when you
are on the move or away.

This monitor is Wi-Fi enabled, which uses your home wireless network to stream live video and
audio through the HD baby unit and 7-inch color screen parent unit. It allows you to maintain a
constant connection to your baby.

You can also monitor from your smartphone and mobile tablet.
VTech 7-inch Smart Wi-Fi 1080p Video Monitor uses MyVTech Baby 1080p app to let you
instantly see and hear what’s happening with your baby from anywhere in the world.
The app can be downloaded from the App Store or the Google PlayTM Store, directly from your smartphone or mobile tablet.

What’s in the box

Your HD video monitor package contains the following items. Save your sales receipt and
original packaging in the event warranty service is necessary.

Overview

Parent unit overview

How the system works

Direct mode
The parent unit and the baby unit of your video monitor connect to each others in Direct mode
by default, which allows you to stream live video right out of the box. Direct mode connection
lets you stream live video from parent unit only.

TIP

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. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit to improve the signal strength. You can also set up Router mode to connect via your home Wi- Fi network to improve the connection between your parent unit and baby unit.

Router mode

You can continue using your video monitor with Direct mode connection, or you can set up your monitor in Router mode connection.

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

We recommend that you set up your monitor in Router mode to enjoy streaming live video via your parent unit with better connection.

If you want to stream live video remotely with your mobile device, download and install the
MyVTech Baby 1080p mobile app. With the mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included) 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 detail, see Download app for mobile access section in this
quick start guide.

NOTES

• Your parent unit detects the connection signal strength. If you have connected your video monitor with your home Wi-Fi network, your parent unit automatically switches to direct or router mode – the one that has stronger signal strength.
• When both parent unit and app are viewing the camera simultaneously, the video quality will be optimized 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.

Connect, charge and power on the baby monitor

Connect the baby monitor

NOTES

• The rechargeable battery in the parent unit is built-in.
• Use only the power adapters supplied with this product.
• Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit are not connected to the switch controlled electric outlets.
• Connect the power adapters in a vertical or floor mount position only. The adapters’ prongs are not designed to hold the weight of the parent unit and the baby unit, so do not connect them to any ceiling, under-the-table, or cabinet outlets. Otherwise, the adapters may not properly connect to the outlets.
• Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit and the power adapter cords are out of reach of children.

Charge the parent unit battery before use

The parent unit runs on rechargeable battery or AC power. To continuously monitor your baby, keep the parent unit connected to AC power. With the battery alone, the parent unit can cordlessly run for a short time only.

NOTES

• Before using the baby monitor for the first time, charge the parent unit battery for 12 hours. When the parent unit battery is fully charged, the battery icon becomes solid .
• The standby time varies depending on your actual use.

After the parent unit is fully charged, press POWER until the welcoming screen appears.

The battery icon indicates the battery status (see the following table).

Test the location for the baby unit

If you plan to install your baby unit in a designated location, and use your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor, 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 baby unit. Adjust the distance between your baby 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.

Mount the baby unit (optional)

NOTES

• Check for reception strength and camera angle of the baby unit 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 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 anchors into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.

5. You can maximize your baby unit’s viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket.
Hold the baby unit, and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket.
Tilt your baby 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.
