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.
NOTES
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.
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.

NOTES
The rechargeable battery in the parent unit is built-in.
Use only the power adapters supplied with this product.
Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit are not connected to the switch-controlled electric outlets.
Connect the power adapters in a vertical or floor mount position only. The adapters’ prongs are not designed to hold the weight of the parent unit and the baby
unit, so do not connect them to any ceiling, under-the-table, or cabinet outlets. Otherwise, the adapters may not properly connect to the outlets.
Make sure the parent unit, the baby unit and the power adapter cords are out of reach of children.
