Function Description:

The VTech VM5271-2 is a comprehensive baby monitoring system that allows parents to keep an eye and ear on their baby from another room. The system transmits real-time video and audio from the baby unit to the parent unit. Key functions include:

• Audio Monitoring: Transmits sound from the baby's room to the parent unit, with adjustable volume.
• Sound Activation: The parent unit screen can automatically turn on when sound is detected from the baby unit, and turn off after 50 seconds of no sound to conserve power.
• Zoom Function: Allows users to zoom in on the video feed for a closer look at the baby.
• Two-Way Talk: Enables parents to talk to their baby remotely through the parent unit, with their voice transmitted to the baby unit.
• Night Vision: The baby unit is equipped with infrared LEDs that automatically activate in low-light conditions, providing a clear black-and-white image of the baby at night.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Optical Zoom: The baby unit features a motorized lens with 6x optical zoom, allowing for detailed viewing.
