This document is a user manual for the CALMPER BM600 Baby Monitor, a device designed to help parents monitor their baby. The system consists of a display unit (monitor) and a camera unit, facilitating audio and video surveillance of a child.
Function Description:
The CALMPER BM600 Baby Monitor provides real-time monitoring of a baby, offering both visual and auditory feedback to the parent. The camera unit captures video and audio from the baby's room, transmitting it wirelessly to the display unit. Key functions include:
- Video Monitoring: The camera provides a live video feed, which can be viewed on the display unit's 3.5-inch IPS color screen.
- Audio Monitoring: The system transmits audio from the baby's room, allowing parents to hear their child.
- Two-Way Talk (Intercom Mode): The display unit features a microphone and a talk button, enabling parents to speak to their baby remotely through the camera's speaker.
- Night Vision: The camera is equipped with infrared lights and an IR light sensor, allowing for clear video monitoring in low-light or dark conditions. The display unit will show a black and white image in night vision mode, switching to full color when sufficient light is detected.
- Temperature Monitoring: The camera unit includes a thermometer that measures the room temperature, which is displayed on the monitor. Parents can set temperature alarms to be notified if the room temperature falls outside a desired range (20°C ~ 30°C).
- Lullaby Player: The system can play pre-programmed lullabies through the camera's speaker to soothe the baby.
- Feeding Reminder: Parents can set reminders for feeding times, with options for 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 hour intervals.
- VOX Mode (Voice Operated Exchange): This mode allows the display unit to automatically turn on its screen and audio when a sound louder than a configured threshold is detected in the baby's room. The video and audio will turn off after 30 seconds of silence, conserving battery. VOX sensitivity can be set to High, Medium, or Low.
- Zoom Function: The display unit allows users to zoom in on the camera's view (x10 magnification).
- Signal Alert: The system provides an alert (beeping sound and flashing icon) if the signal between the camera and monitor is lost for 5 seconds.
