The Ohma All-in-One Baby Monitor is a comprehensive device designed to help parents monitor their baby and create a soothing environment conducive to sleep. It integrates various functionalities, including a camera, sound-masking capabilities, and a night light, all controllable via a dedicated mobile application.
The primary function of the Ohma monitor is to provide real-time audio and video monitoring of a baby. Parents can view a live stream of their child through the Yogasleep app on their smartphone or tablet. The device is equipped with a camera that can be manually adjusted to capture the desired angle of view, and users can zoom in on the live feed using pinch gestures on their device screen.
Beyond visual monitoring, Ohma offers sound-masking features. It comes pre-loaded with a variety of soothing sleep sounds designed to help babies fall asleep and stay asleep by masking disruptive noises. For optimal sound-masking, the unit should be placed between the baby and the source of noise, ideally at least three feet (one meter) away from the child. This placement allows the sound to fill the space effectively, providing the greatest sound-masking benefit and creating a calming sound environment.
The Ohma monitor also includes a customizable night light. Users can change the color of the night light through the Yogasleep app, allowing them to set the ambiance that best suits their needs or their child's preferences.
Setting up the Ohma monitor involves a few straightforward steps. First, users need to download the Yogasleep app from their device's app marketplace (Google Play Store or Apple App Store). The app is compatible with iOS 9.3.6 and later, and Android 9 and later, but is not available on Pixel or Windows phones. It is currently supported only for users in the United States.
Once the app is downloaded, users must register for a new account. This requires an email address and a password that meets specific criteria (at least 8 characters, including one capital letter, one number, and one symbol). A verification code will be sent to the registered email address to complete the registration process. If the code is not received, users should check their spam folder or request a new code by restarting the registration.
After account registration, the Ohma device itself needs to be plugged in. For initial setup, it's recommended to place the Ohma near the Wi-Fi router to ensure a strong connection. The device will provide an audio prompt directing users to complete the setup in the app.
Connecting Ohma to Wi-Fi is a crucial step. The device exclusively connects to 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi networks, and the router should meet a minimum standard of 802.11g, with 802.11n with WPA2 preferred for maximum performance. Ohma cannot connect to Wi-Fi networks that require additional authentication, such as those found in hotels or businesses. During the Wi-Fi setup, users will be prompted to enter their Wi-Fi network name and password, which are case-sensitive. The app will then display a QR code that needs to be held in front of the Ohma camera at a distance of 12 to 18 inches for scanning. It's important to ensure the screen is at maximum brightness, not auto-dimmed, and free of glare during this process. A pulsing light on Ohma indicates it's scanning, and a green flash and audio prompt will confirm a successful connection.
Once connected, the Ohma monitor should be positioned appropriately. For cribs or beds, the ideal placement is on a shelf or dresser that is higher than the crib or bed, ensuring an unobstructed view of the child. The black camera within the housing can be manually rotated up or down to adjust the angle. It's essential to keep the unit and its power cord out of reach of toddlers and small children.
The Ohma monitor and its accompanying app are designed with ongoing maintenance in mind, primarily through software updates.
Ohma device software updates are released to ensure the device has the most recent features and improvements. After initial setup, it's recommended to update the software by navigating to the camera view in the app, then to Settings, and finally selecting "Update Device." The update process can take up to 5 minutes, during which the app should not be used. After 5 minutes, restarting the app is advised. Ohma also performs automatic weekly checks for updates and downloads any available ones, a process that also takes up to 5 minutes.
Similarly, the Yogasleep app itself receives updates. If automatic updates are enabled on the user's phone or tablet, the app will update automatically. Otherwise, users can manually update the app through their device's app store by searching for "Yogasleep" and pressing "Update." Restarting the Yogasleep app after an update is recommended.
In cases of connectivity issues or when switching to a different Wi-Fi network, a factory reset can be performed. This involves holding the power button on Ohma for 20 seconds until an audio prompt confirms the device is resetting. A factory reset will erase all data and Wi-Fi connections from Ohma. After the reset, the camera will need to be removed from the app (via settings in the camera view > Remove Device), and the setup process, including Wi-Fi connection, will need to be repeated.
Troubleshooting tips are provided for common issues. For Wi-Fi connectivity problems, users can check the signal strength bar in the camera view of the app. If the live view is buffering, it may indicate a poor Wi-Fi connection. If Ohma fails to connect during setup, it's often due to an incorrect, case-sensitive Wi-Fi name or password. Users can re-enter this information in the app to generate a new QR code for scanning.
The device is designed for ease of use and ongoing support through its update mechanisms, ensuring optimal performance and access to the latest features for monitoring and soothing babies.
