How the system works
For better security and more stable connectivity, this baby monitor requires
connecting to a 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi network and operating in Router mode
connection.
Direct mode
Your baby monitor parent unit and baby unit connect to each other in Direct mode by default,
which allows you to immediately stream video out of the box.
It is NOT recommended to continue using Direct Mode connection after initial installation

Router mode
You are required to set up your
monitor in Router mode to enjoy
live video streaming via your parent
unit with an enhanced connection.
Router mode is the recommended
mode for stable connectivity.
Router mode uses your 2.4GHz
home Wi-Fi network to connect
your video monitor. It supports live
video streaming through the parent
unit and smartphone app.
If you want to stream live video
remotely with your mobile device,
download and install the MyVTech Baby Pro 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 more details, see Download app
for mobile access section in this quick start guide
Note
• When both parent unit and app are viewing the camera simultaneously, the video quality will be opti-
mised to deliver the best possible viewing result.
Tip
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. You have to set up Router mode
to connect the units via your home Wi-Fi
network to improve the connection
between your parent unit and baby unit.

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.
