    • b. Noise detection
    • c. Cry detection

    • c. Always on (parent unit display and sound will remain on)
    • d. You can also set the time after which the parent unit enters sleep mode (1 minute / 5 minutes / 10 minutes / 30 minutes / 60 minutes).

    In the settings, you can also choose whether the camera will record to the card constantly or only when motion is detected.

SECURITY AGAINST HACKING

  • The app uses five-layer security technology to ensure the security of smart devices without the risk of information being compromised: military-grade AES data encryption, triple-check authorization and authentication, two-code dynamic key, and HTTPS channel encryption guarantee the security of network traffic.
  • Note: To increase protection against hacking, set the strongest possible password on your Wi-Fi network.
  • The password should consist of at least eight characters with a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. Do not use special characters *„~!@#$%^”,** otherwise the camera will not be able to pair.
  • Transmission between the camera and the parent unit is carried out wirelessly via the encrypted Wifi standard 802.11ah sub-1 GHz.

RANGE

  • The maximum range of the baby monitor is 300 m in an open area and 50 m in a building.
  • The maximum range of the baby monitor and signal transmission can be affected by the environment in which you use the baby monitor, such as thick walls, reinforced concrete structures, etc.
  • If the connection is lost due to being too far away from the baby unit, the parent unit will indicate this on the display with a red disconnected icon.
