Setup Guide
1. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the monitor unit. Connect the monitor's power adapter to the monitor and a power outlet. A full charge typically takes 5 to 6 hours. The camera unit requires continuous power and must always be connected to a power outlet to function.
2. Camera Placement
Position the camera in a location that provides a clear view of your baby. For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended to place the camera at least 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) away from the baby's crib or play area. Ensure the camera is placed on a stable surface or securely mounted to a wall using the provided mounting kit.
The camera features a standard quarter-inch screw thread, allowing for versatile mounting options, including tripods or other compatible wall mounts.
3. Powering On and Connection
Connect the camera to its power adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The camera will automatically power on. Press and hold the 'POWER' button on the monitor unit to turn it on. The monitor and camera are pre-paired at the factory, establishing a direct and private connection using enhanced 2.4 GHz FHSS wireless technology. No Wi-Fi or application is required for operation, ensuring privacy and security.

Key Features
- VOX Mode: This voice-activated mode conserves battery life by keeping the monitor screen off until sound is detected in the baby's room. The monitor will automatically activate when your baby makes a sound. There are 5 levels of sensitivity for the VOX mode, allowing you to adjust how easily the monitor is triggered. When VOX mode is active, the monitor's battery life can extend up to 7 days in standby.
- HD Night Vision: The infrared night vision function allows you to monitor your child clearly even in complete darkness. The camera's infrared light is subtle, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment for your baby.
- Pan, Tilt & Zoom: Control the camera's viewing angle remotely from the monitor. The camera can rotate horizontally up to 350 degrees and vertically up to 110 degrees. A 4x digital zoom function is also available to get a closer look.
- Two-Way Intercom: Press and hold the 'TALK' button on the monitor to speak to your baby through the camera's speaker. This allows you to soothe your baby with your voice from another room.
- Temperature Monitoring: The camera includes a temperature sensor that displays the room temperature on the monitor. You can set adjustable temperature alarms to be notified if the room becomes too hot or too cold.
- Lullaby Function: The monitor offers a selection of lullabies that can be played through the camera's speaker to help soothe your baby to sleep. You can choose from 10 different songs and set them to play for a specific duration or in an infinite loop.
- Multi-Camera Support: The monitor can connect with up to four cameras simultaneously (additional cameras sold separately). When two cameras are connected, the monitor can display both images side-by-side, allowing you to monitor multiple children or different areas of a room.
