User Tips
- Optimal Placement: For the best view and audio, place the camera unit approximately 1-1.5 meters (3-5 feet) away from the baby's crib.
- Battery Conservation: Utilize the VOX mode to extend the parent unit's battery life, as the screen will only activate when sound is detected.
- Secure Mounting: When wall or ceiling mounting the camera, ensure it is securely fastened and the cables are routed safely away from the crib to prevent entanglement.
- Privacy: Since the monitor does not require Wi-Fi or an app, it offers enhanced privacy and security against external hacking.
- Versatile Use: While designed for babies, the monitor's features like two-way audio, temperature monitoring, and night vision also make it suitable for monitoring elderly family members or pets.
