the following descriptions of the On Screen Display to understand all of the
features of this software.
On Screen Display
The indicators, controls, and video display you’ll see on your computer screen
will be quite similar to those on the Parent Unit itself, with two significant
additions. Home and Away Computer-Connect Digital Video Monitor software
allows you to capture and save both still images and record video.
Instant Help
Use your mouse to hover over any button; an explanation of that button’s
function will be displayed in a pop-up window.
Talkback Feature
1. Click on the Talkback Button, and hold your mouse button depressed
while speaking.
2. Your child will be able to hear your voice. An on-screen display in red tells
you that you are transmitting your voice.
• While the Talkback button is depressed, you will not hear any sounds being
transmitted by the Child Unit.
• When using more than one camera, the talk feature will link to the camera in
the location you are currently viewing.
Note:
For this feature to work, your computer must be equipped with a
microphone.
