What does HD Video Monitor do?

How the system works

The 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 parent unit, allowing you to monitor and/or control your baby unit wherever you are.

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.

MOUNT THE BABY UNIT (OPTIONAL)

** Items to purchase
You will need to purchase the following items separately to mount your baby unit:
NOTE**

• The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall.

NOTE

• Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.

1. Use a pencil to mark two holes in parallel. Make sure they are the same distance apart as the wall mount holes on the baby unit.
   

2. Drill two holes in the wall.
   • 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 hole. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.
   

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

4. Depending on your preference, choose the upright or lateral orientation to mount your unit. Align the wall mount holes at the bottom or at the rear side of the baby unit with the screws on the wall. Slide the baby unit down until it locks into place.
   

5. Tilt or rotate to adjust the camera angle.
