5. Press and hold the pairing button on the back or bottom of the add-on camera unit until the monitor indicates successful pairing.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Remote Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ)

The add-on camera features remote pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities. Use the directional buttons on your HB6550 monitor to adjust the camera's viewing angle:

• Pan: Rotate the camera horizontally (355°).
• Tilt: Adjust the camera vertically (120°).
• Zoom: Magnify the image for a closer view.

4.2 Night Vision

The camera is equipped with infrared (IR) night vision, which automatically activates in low-light conditions. This provides a clear black-and-white video feed, allowing you to monitor your baby even in complete darkness.

4.3 Temperature Monitoring

The camera includes a remote thermometer that monitors the room temperature where the camera is placed. The temperature reading is displayed on your HB6550 monitor, helping you ensure a comfortable environment for your baby.

4.4 Camera Scan Mode

If you have multiple cameras paired with your HB6550 monitor, you can enable Camera Scan Mode. This mode automatically cycles through the video feeds of all paired cameras, displaying each for approximately 10 seconds before switching to the next. This ensures continuous monitoring across different locations.

Refer to Section 7.6 of your HB6550 monitor's user manual for detailed instructions on activating and managing Camera Scan Mode.
