Test the location for IP Camera
Before you install your camera unit, you need to
test which of your selected monitoring areas within
the house have good Wi-Fi signal strength. You
can use your mobile device’s Wi-Fi signal strength
indicator to assist in checking. Once you have
identified the suitable location, you can install your
camera unit. Adjust the distance between your
camera unit and the Wi-Fi router if needed.
TIP
• Depending on surroundings and obstructing factors,
such as the effect distance and internal walls have
on signal strength, you may experience reduced
Wi-Fi signal. To improve the Wi-Fi signal strength,
adjust the distance or direction of your mobile
device. Check with your mobile device again.

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.
