How the system works

TIP
For better security and more stable connectivity, this baby monitor requires connecting to a 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi network and operating in Router mode connection. To set up Router mode, go to .

Direct mode

  • Your baby monitors parent unit and baby unit connect 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.

TIP
You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and baby unit are far apart, or if 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 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor. It supports live video streaming through the parent unit and smartphone app.
  • 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) provides Internet connectivity to your HD video monitor system. It serves as a communication 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 the Download app for mobile access section in this quick start guide.

Note
When both the parent unit and the 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.

Test the location of 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 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.

Auto software and firmware update
To ensure that your video monitor is always at its best performance, the parent unit will prompt a message and ask you to update its software and the baby unit’s firmware when there are new versions available.

  • Follow the instructions on the parent unit screen to update your video monitor. If you skip the updates, the parent unit and the baby unit will remind you for updates 8 hours later.

Connect your video monitor to your home Wi-Fi network

  • You must connect your video monitor to your secured home Wi-Fi network to receive the latest software and firmware updates. To set Wi-Fi up, go to:

Mount the baby unit

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 wall plugs you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and wall 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 (5.5mm 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.
  5. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 6mm of the screws are exposed.
  6. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket, and then slide it forward until it locks into place. Align the holes on the wall mount bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide the wall mount bracket down until it locks into place.
