(see the mounting template included in this
package).

place the camera or cords within reach of
the baby.

Test your WiFi signal

Your Project Nursery Smart Baby WiFi
Camera needs a strong enough signal from
your WiFi router to send its video signal.
Here’s how to test for signal strength.

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 example,
on iOS devices look in the
upper left-hand corner of
the screen for the WiFi icon
(shown here).

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

Plug in the camera

Plug one end of the
included power cable

protector.

The camera turns on
automatically when
you plug it in (the

its back panel turns
