Plug in and follow app instructions to pair the Cam 2 with your Owlet Account. If you've already downloaded the Owlet App, click the Account tab to add a new device.

Choose Your View

Place the Cam 2 and all cables 36 inches (92 cm) away from the edge of the crib. Cables within 36 inches (92 cm) of the edge of the crib should be covered.

You can set up the Cam 2 in two ways:

1. Place it on a flat surface using the magnetic base and adjust for desired tilt angle.
2. Mount it on a wall above the crib using the base as a wall mount for a bird's-eye view of the crib or for an expanded view of your nursery.

The next steps will guide you through mounting the Cam 2 on the wall (above the crib).

1. Measure and mark

Measure 36 inches (92 cm) from the top of your baby's mattress and make a mark on the wall – this is where the Cam 2 will be mounted. Center this mark above baby's crib for the optimal viewing angle.

Consider which outlet to use. The outlet should be at least 36 inches (92 cm) away from the crib to ensure no exposed cables will be within baby's reach. The next steps will instruct you on how to cover all cables.

It's also important to consider the location of the temperature and humidity sensor. The temperature sensor can be found near the end of the smart cable on the side that connects to the power adapter.

2. Align and fasten

Align the center hole of the mounting plate with the mark you've made on the wall. Using the provided screw, fasten the mounting plate to the wall with the arrows pointing upward.

3. Unwind the cable

Remove the cable wraps and unwind the cable.

4. Thread the cable

Thread the cable down the channel of the mounting plate, aligning the orange sticker on the cable to the top of the mounting plate.

5. Mount the base

Position the large holes of the magnetic base over the protruding tabs on the mounting plate, then slide downward until it clicks.

6. Attach the Cam 2

Attach the Cam 2 to the magnetic base. Plug the cable into the Cam 2.

The orange sticker should be placed just above the mounting plate so that you have enough cable slack to position the Cam 2 to your desired angle.

7. Mount cable guards

The cable guards use high-strength adhesive. Take your time during installation to ensure proper placement.

1. Peel off adhesive cover from the back of a long guard.
2. Thread cable down the center of a long guard.
3. Snap long guard onto the bottom of the mounting plate.
4. Press firmly onto wall.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with remaining long guards until you reach the height of the wall outlet.

8. Mount L-bracket

Use the right or left L-bracket to guide the cable in the direction of the wall outlet. Install long guards until any cable within 36 inches (92 cm) of the edge of the crib is covered. Continue adding long guards as needed to reach the outlet. Finally, install the end piece when you are within 6-10 inches of the outlet (this allows enough room to wrap excess cable with velcro).

9. Wrap excess cable with velcro

Gather the excess cable into a loop. Secure the top section of the loop by feeding the cable wrap through the first hole. The Owlet logo faces outward. Secure the bottom section of the loop to the top section by feeding the cable wrap through the second hole (The loop should now look like a bow). Secure remaining cable wrap. Once the excess cable has been wrapped securely, connect the power cable to the power adapter and plug it in.

You're all set! You can now use the App to reference how to adjust the Cam 2 angle until you achieve the desired view.
