WiFi connection to the Internet
You get the best results if you connect your smart device to the Internet
via WiFi. It will then automatically use the WiFi network to link to your baby
monitor. When there is no WiFi connection to the Internet, your smart
device switches to its 3G or 4G mobile data connection. Use of this data
connection may involve extra charges from your provider, depending on
your subscription. A video connection typically requires 0.1 to 0.25 MB of
data per second. An audio connection requires 0.01 MB of data per second.
If you want to prevent your smart device from connecting to the 3G or 4G
network, you have to switch off the mobile data connection of your device.
This will affect all other apps that may use the 3G or 4G mobile data
connection. Please note that, if you switch off the mobile data connection,
you will not be alerted that your baby is crying when you lose the WiFi
connection to the Internet.
Using the baby monitor away from home
You can use the monitor at any place where a 2.4 GHz WiFi network is
available, whether it as a friend’s or relative’s home or at a hotel or holiday
residence. If you have the WiFi network name and the WiFi password, you
can set up and use your baby monitor away from home. Follow the setup
instructions below to do so. Once you have set up connection with a WiFi
network, the settings are stored in the memory of your device and you
need not repeat the setup procedure as long as you use your app and
baby monitor at the same place.
Note: If the WiFi network connection requires an extra confirmation, e.g. to
agree to the terms of use, the baby monitor will not be able to connect to the
WiFi network. This may happen on hotel WiFi networks and other public WiFi
networks.

There are two options to connect the baby monitor to the WiFi
network.
- The first option: When you switch on the baby monitor, you get the
message ‘Baby monitor not found’. Wait until the app offers the option
‘Reconnect the baby monitor’.
- The second option: Switch on the baby monitor. Open the left tray,
select the baby monitor and choose ‘Reconnect the baby monitor’.

When the app has generated a WiFi QR code, hold the screen of
your smartphone or tablet at a distance of around 20 cm in front
of the baby monitor lens. Slowly move the smartphone or tablet
closer or further away from the lens to ensure the WiFi QR is read
properly.
