Setup
1. Charging the Parent Unit
Before first use, fully charge the parent unit for approximately 8 hours. Connect the small plug of the power adapter to the parent unit and the other end to a power outlet. The charging indicator will illuminate.
2. Positioning the Camera Unit(s)
Place the camera unit(s) in a location that provides a clear view of your baby or the area you wish to monitor. Ensure the camera is at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from the baby to prevent entanglement hazards with the power cord. The camera units can be wall-mounted using the included accessories.

Connect the camera unit(s) to a power outlet using their respective power adapters. The camera will automatically power on.
3. Initial Connection
The parent unit and camera units are pre-paired at the factory. Once both units are powered on, the parent unit should automatically display the video feed from the camera. If no image appears, refer to the troubleshooting section for pairing instructions.

- Adjust the VOX sensitivity level to suit your environment.
5. Infrared Night Vision
The camera automatically detects low light conditions and activates infrared night vision, providing a clear black and white video feed in dark rooms.
