3. Setup
3.1 Charging the Parent Unit
Before first use, fully charge the parent unit using the provided power adapter and cable. A full charge ensures optimal battery performance.
3.2 Camera Placement and Mounting
Proper camera placement is crucial for clear monitoring and accurate detection features.
- Crib Mounting: Position the camera at least 0.6 meters (24 inches) above the baby. Placing it too low may result in a blurry image due to focal length misalignment.
- Wall or Floor Stand Mounting: Keep the camera within 5 meters (16 feet) horizontally from the crib. Beyond this range, infrared night vision may not provide sufficient lighting for clear facial visibility in low light conditions.
The camera can be mounted on a wall using the included bracket and screws, or placed on a flat surface like a tabletop.
