Direct Connect Mode
Your baby monitor parent unit and baby unit connect to each other in Direct Connect Mode by default, which allows you to immediately stream video out of the box.

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. Ensure the parent unit antenna is raised for optimum reception.

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.
