Changing Video Setting.
Video Setting: The following three items can be set here:
Video Quality, Video Flip en Environment Mode.
Video Quality: You can set the video compression and resolution here. The
following values can be selected: Maximum, Medium, and Minimum. The
standard High and Low have no function.
The highest quality image will be shown at the “Maximum” level. The minimum
image quality will be shown at the “Minimal” level. At the best picture level, an
increased bandwidth is required for a faster connection. For a minimal image a
lower bandwidth with a lower speed of the network should be sufcient. A slow
connection used in combination with a too high bandwidth can cause a shock
to the image resulting in a slight delay. It is advised to set a lower quality should
this be the case.
Video Flip: The picture mode can be adjusted here. You can choose from the
following settings: Normal, Flip, Mirror, and Flip & Mirror.
Normal: Displays a normal picture.
Flip: The image will be turned 180°. If the camera is turned upside down for
example.
Mirror: The picture will be shown as a mirror image.
Flip & mirror: The image displayed is mirrored and rotated 180°.
.

surroundings. There is a choice of either Inside mode (50Hz), Inside mode
(60Hz), Outside or Night mode. Use the indoor mode (50Hz) when there is
bright light and Night mode in low or no light.
Sound Detection.
Sound Level: You can set the level of sound here for when an alarm is to be sent. The following
available sound levels are: Maximum, High, Medium, Low and Off.

network. The UTP cable can be removed. The camera can now be placed anywhere as long as it is
within range of the WiFi router or modem.

5 TIPS AND WARNINGS
5.1 GENERAL
• Read the manual carefully and follow all the instructions.
• Do not place or use the camera in a wet or damp environment.
• Ensure good heat ventilation and never cover the camera unit and /or the power adapter(s) or
place it next to a heat source. The camera and power adapter are both already warm.
• Only use the included power adapter(s); connecting another type of adapter can be
dangerous and may cause damage to the electronics.
• Make sure that the adapter cables cannot be damaged and ensure the wires do not lead too
stumbling or falling.
• The camera unit and /or power adapter should not be disassembled; this should only be done
by qualified personnel.
• The video connection is through public Internet and therefore has been secured as much
as can be by today’s standards. Nevertheless it can still be hacked, and we assume no
responsibility if for some reason it is hacked. We advise you to change the default password
immediately, preferably with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
5.2 INSTALLATION
• Only connect or disconnect the power adapter when it is disconnected from the electrical wall
outlet.
• Do not install the camera during a thunderstorm.
• Do not touch an un-insulated adapter cord unless the adapter is disconnected from the
electrical outlet.

13
5.3 MAINTENANCE
• Clean the camera with a damp cloth, do not use any chemical cleaners. The power adapter
should be disconnected before cleaning.
5.4 MALFUNCTION
• If the camera does not show an image or the sound does not work, check the following:
- Has the camera been connected properly?
- The correct UID code has been used
- The correct password has been used
- Restart the camera by taking it out of the electrical outlet for a short time.
- Reset the camera by pressing 10 seconds on the reset button located on the bottom of
the camera. The camera will reboot. Repeat the complete settings and operations from the
beginning. All the settings will default back to the factory setting.
- Reboot your smart phone.
• In dim light, the camera will switch to night mode so that the infrared lighting will start. The
image may flash depending on the lightness or darkness in the baby room. Increase or
decrease the light to solve this problem
• If you still have no picture or sound, please contact the service department of Alecto at Tel:
[phone].
5.5 DELAY IN PICTURE AND SOUND
• There could be a delay in the signal caused by the encoding and decoding of the picture and
sound. Varying bandwidth over the internet could also change the quality of the image and
sound. If necessary, switch the resolution (picture quality) to a lower level.
5.6 DATA USAGE
• If you are using a mobile network, take into account that the data usage may rise significantly
while watching the video. When available, it is advisable to rather use a WiFi network.
• Furthermore the battery usage of your smart phone will increase.
5.7 ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSAL
• The packaging of this camera can partially be put in a paper recycling disposal. We
recommend however, that you keep the packaging in case you need it again for transportation
purposes.
• Should the camera need to be replaced, please send it to your supplier and they will
dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
