the wireless monitoring system. If you cannot find the
answer to your question in the below table, visit our
website at www.vtechphones.com or call
1-844-848-8324 (1-844-84-VTECH) for customer

The LEDs on
the camera
unit are too
bright. Can I
turn them off?
You can turn off the LEDs of
your camera units. Read the
Online LED indication
section
under
Camera settings
in your
home viewer’s app manual for
instructions.
Why does the
HD camera
not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the order
listed) for common cure:
1. Disconnect the power to the
camera unit.
2. Wait a few minutes before
connecting power back to the
camera unit.
3. Reboot the home viewer.
Why is my
screen in black
and white?
The HD camera unit has a
light sensor that measures the
ambient light. When the ambient
light is dim, such as during
nighttime or in a dark room, the
camera activates its infrared
LEDs, and displays the camera
view in black and white.
Why does my
HD camera
show offline?
Why is the
connection lost
every now and
then?
The camera unit may lose the
Internet connection. Check your
network and the router setting.
Other electronic products may
cause interference with your HD
cameras. Try installing your HD
cameras as far away from these
electronic devices as possible.

this Product. The warranty exclusively describes all
of VTech’s responsibilities regarding the Product.
There are no other express warranties. No one

use) are limited to one year from the date of purchase.
Some states/provinces do not allow limitations on how

may not apply to you. In no event shall VTech be liable
for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential,
or similar damages (including, but not limited to lost
profits or revenue, inability to use the Product or
other associated equipment, the cost of substitute
equipment, and claims by third parties) resulting from

Test the location for the camera
units
Before you install your camera units, you need to
test which of your selected monitoring areas within
the house have good Wi-Fi signal strength. After
you have connected your home viewer to a Wi-Fi
network, you can use your home viewer’s Wi-Fi
signal strength indicator to assist in checking.
Once you have identified a suitable location, you
can install your camera unit. Adjust the distance
between your camera units 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 home viewer.
Check with your home viewer again.
