How to use

Position the camera unit in the desired location within the nursery at a safe distance from the cot and any cords or hazards. Place the parent display with the caregiver or on a nearby surface to view live audio and video. Power both units according to the manufacturer’s instructions and allow them to pair if required. Use the parent unit to view the camera feed, adjust camera angle if accessible, and use the two-way audio function to speak to the child. Night vision will engage automatically or via a setting when light levels are low.

Usage recommendations

For reliable monitoring, set the camera where it has a clear line of sight to the sleeping area and is out of a child’s reach. Keep firmware and any app integration up to date if applicable, and follow safety guidance on placement to avoid loose cables near the crib. Use two-way audio briefly to avoid disrupting sleep cycles, and check battery or power status of the parent display regularly.
