What does HD Video Monitor do?

You can also monitor from your smartphone and mobile tablet. VTech Wi-Fi HD 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 Play

Charge the 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.
• 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
.
• It takes longer to charge when the parent unit is turned on. To shorten the
charging time, turn the parent unit off while charging.
• 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).

Protect your privacy and online security
How the system works
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.

Requirements

With the battery alone, the parent unit can cordlessly run for a short time only. • Use only the battery supplied with this product. • If the parent unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the batter y to prevent possible
leakage.

• Connect mobile phone. • Turn on/off Low Battery Alert Tone. • Turn on/off No Link Alert Tone.
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.
• 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.
• 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
optimised to deliver the best possible viewing result.
NOTE: Camera lens and surface may get warm during normal operation.
