How the System Works

Direct mode

The parent unit and the baby unit of your video monitor connect to each other in Direct mode by default, which allows you to stream live video right out of the box. Direct mode connection lets you stream live video from parent unit only.

Visual description: Diagram showing a parent unit and baby unit directly connected, with text indicating "Local access".

Tip: You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and baby unit are far apart, or there are obstructing factors, such as internal walls, between them. Move the parent unit closer to the baby unit to improve the signal strength.

Wi-Fi Router mode

To stream live video with better connection, you can also set up your monitor in Router mode connection.

Router mode uses your home Wi-Fi ? network to connect the video monitor. It supports streaming live video through the parent unit and MyVTech Baby Pro app ?.

Visual description: Diagram showing a baby unit connecting to a Wi-Fi router, and the parent unit and a mobile device connecting to the router, indicating "Mobile access".

Download and install the MyVTech Baby Pro mobile app to stream remotely. With the mobile app, your Wi-Fi router (not included) serves as a communicating channel between your baby unit and mobile device, allowing you to monitor and control your baby unit wherever you are. For details, see Download app for mobile access section in this quick start guide.

Auto mode

With Auto mode connection, the parent unit will automatically select the most reliable connection mode (Direct or Wi-Fi ?) when connecting to the baby unit(s). Mobile app access will not be interrupted in Auto mode.

Note: When both parent unit and app are viewing the camera simultaneously, the video quality will be optimized to deliver the best possible viewing result.

Protect Your Privacy and Online Security

VTech cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That's why we've put together a list of industry-recommended best practices to help keep your wireless connection private and your devices protected when online. We recommend you carefully review and consider complying with the following tips.

Ensure your wireless connection is secure.

• Before installing a device, ensure your router's wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the "WPA2-PSK with AES" setting in your router's wireless security menu.
• Change default settings.
  • Change your wireless router's default wireless network name (SSID) to something unique.
  • Change default passwords to unique, strong passwords. A strong password:
    • Is at least 10 characters long.
    • Is complex.
    • Does not contain dictionary words or personal information.
    • Contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters and numbers.
• Keep your devices up to date.
  • Download security patches from manufacturers as soon as they become available. This will ensure you always have the latest security updates.
  • If the feature is available, enable automatic updates for future releases.
• Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router. UPnP enabled on a router can limit the effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other network devices to open inbound ports without any intervention or approval from you. A virus or other malware program could use this function to compromise security for the entire network.
