Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Q: I have Skype. Why do I need to create a Skype account for the video monitor?
A: The video monitor requires a Skype account so you can access the camera(s) from your
personal Skype account. Setup the video monitor for Skype viewing (for instructions, see “Viewing your camera remotely using Skype” on page 17). Then create a Skype account for the video monitor and add your personal Skype account to camera by calling it - just like calling any one of your Skype contacts.
Q: Why can't I see an image from the camera(s) in Skype?
A: Is this the first time you are setting up the video monitor for remote viewing? If so, follow
the instructions in “Viewing your camera remotely using Skype” on page 17. If you have already performed the initial setup, and still cannot access your camera(s) (or
video monitor appears as 'Offline'), check the following:
the
• Have you configured Skype to auto-answer incoming Skype to auto-answer incoming calls, see page 21 for PC or page 26 for Mac.
• Is the camera you want to view paired to Channel 1 or the channel selected on the video monitor?
• Is the handheld monitor connected to the computer?
• Are the camera and handheld monitor powered on?
• Is the computer powered on?
• Is the computer in Sleep mode or Hibernate mode? The video monitor will not be able to connect to Skype if the computer is in Sleep or Hibernate mode.
• Is Skype running on the computer and is the video monitor’s account signed in?
• Have you created a Skype account for the video monitor?
• Have you added your personal Skype account to the video monitor’s contact list?

Q: What Skype app do I use to connect to the video monitor on my iPhone, iPad, or Android device?
A: For the iPhone, use the Skype app. For the iPad, use the Skype for iPad app. For
Android, use the Skype app. All apps are available for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Q: How do I pair cameras?
A: The camera included with your device has already been paired up with the handheld
monitor. If for any reason your monitor and camera are not paired up, or you wish to add additional cameras, please perform the following:

NOTE: You can add a maximum of four (4) wireless cameras to the handheld monitor.
Q: Why is my picture at night time not as clear via Skype compared to my handheld monitor?
A: Video is transmitted at a
resolution of QVGA (320x240). When viewing on your computer, screen is larger than the handheld monitor, resulting in a stretched screen-size. This is even more evident in night vision mode. In Skype, we recommended using "pop up mode" (image 1) for better clarity compared to default view (image 2).
