How the system works
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.
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.
