Before use
How the system works
The Wi-Fi router (not included) provides Internet
connectivity to your HD video monitor system.
It serves as a communicating channel between
your camera unit and parent unit, allowing you to
monitor and/or control your camera unit wherever
you are.
Requirements
Make sure your system includes the following
components, and they meet the minimum
requirement.
Network Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi router 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
Internet connection
At least 1.0 Mbps upload
bandwidth per camera
Test the location for the camera unit
Before you install your camera unit, you need to
test which of your selected monitoring areas within
the house have good Wi-Fi signal strength. After
you have connected your parent unit to a Wi-Fi
network, you can use your parent unit’s Wi-Fi
signal strength indicator to assist in checking.
Once you have identified the suitable location, you
can install your camera unit. Adjust the distance
between your camera unit 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 parent unit.
Check with your parent unit again.
Pair new camera unit
Each newly purchased camera unit (VM980)
must be paired to the parent unit of the HD video
monitor system (VM981 or VM991).
Refer to the online app manual in your parent unit
on how to pair your camera unit to your system.

Protect your privacy and online
security
VTech cares about your privacy and peace of
mind. That’s why we’ve put together a list of
industry-recommended best practices to help
keep your wireless connection private and your
devices protected when online. We recommend
you carefully review and consider complying with
the following tips.
Ensure your wireless connection is secure.
• Before installing a device, ensure your router’s
wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the
“WPA2-PSK with AES” setting in your router’s
wireless security menu.
Change default settings.
• Change your wireless router’s default wireless
network name (SSID) to something unique.
• Change default passwords to unique, strong
passwords. A strong password:
- Is at least 10 characters long.
- Is complex.
- Does not contain dictionary words or
personal information.
- Contains a mix of uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, special characters and
numbers.
Keep your devices up to date.
• Download security patches from
manufacturers as soon as they become
available. This will ensure you always have
the latest security updates.
• If the feature is available, enable automatic
updates for future releases.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your
router.
• UPnP enabled on a router can limit the
effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other
network devices to open inbound ports without
any intervention or approval from you. A virus
or other malware program could use this
function to compromise security for the entire
network.
