Before you start...

Make sure you read the Important Information
sheet included in this package.

Find a location for the
camera that gives you the
best view of your baby in his
or her crib.

Place the camera on a flat surface, like a
dresser or shelf, or mount the camera to a wall
using the keyhole slots on its bottom (see the
mounting template included in this package).

IMPORTANT: NEVER place the camera or cords
of any kind inside the crib. NEVER place the
camera or cords within reach of the baby.

1. Position the camera(s)

WARNING

Strangulation
Hazard: Children

have STRANGLED
in cords. Keep this
cord out of the
reach of children
(more than 3ft
(0.9m) away). Never use extension
cords with AC Adapters. Only use
the AC Adapters provided.

Step 2: Set Up the Camera

Getting Started

Plug one end of the
included charging
cable into the DC In
jack on the back of
the camera.

Plug the other end
into the included
power adapter.
Then plug the
adapter into an
outlet or surge
protector.

3: Plug in the camera

Your Project Nursery Camera needs a strong
enough signal from your WiFi router to send its
video signal.

You can test the strength of your WiFi signal in
your baby’s nursery using your smartphone or
other portable wireless device (like a tablet).

First, go to where you want to put the camera.

Make sure your smartphone or other portable
wireless device is
connected to the WiFi
network you want to test.

Look at the WiFi icon on
your device screen to
see the strength of the
connection.

For best results, look for
a location with at least
50% strength to use the
camera.

2. Test your WiFi signal

The camera turns on automatically when you
plug it in (the indicator light on its back panel
turns solid red).

Step 2: Set Up the Camera (continued)

IMPORTANT: If you’re using a dual-band WiFi
router, make sure your device is connected to the

2.4Ghz band.
