About the baby monitor
The baby monitor system helps you keep an eye on your baby from anywhere in your house. The
system consists of a camera unit and a monitor unit that are connected wirelessly using DECT
technology, which provides secure, stable, and clear sound and picture without interference from
microwave ovens, wireless routers, etc.
The monitor unit features a compact design and a long-lasting rechargeable battery that provides
hours of use on a single charge, and the camera unit features a camera, speaker, and
microphone that let you see, talk, and listen to your baby. The system’s smart features give you
peace of mind to go about your day. For example, you can use auto lullaby (page 26) to play a
lullaby automatically when your baby is crying, and smart notification (page 26) to display
notifications on the monitor unit when your baby wakes or cries.

Information about sensor features
The camera unit has 3 sensor features: a
visual sensor used for motion detection, a
temperature sensor, and a sound sensor.
Please read the following information about
each sensor before deciding where to install
the camera unit.
Note:
RThe camera unit’s sensor features are not
designed to be used in situations that
require high reliability. We do not
recommend use of the sensor features in
these situations.
RPanasonic takes no responsibility for any
injury or damage caused by the use of the
camera unit’s sensor features.
Using visible light to detect motion
The camera unit can detect motion by
recognizing changes in the brightness of
areas that are visible to the camera unit.
Note:
RThe motion sensor does not function during
and for 5 seconds after pan/tilt operations.
RMovement may be incorrectly detected
when the moving object and the
background have similar colours.
RMovement may be incorrectly detected
when there are sudden changes to the
overall brightness level, such as when
lights are turned on.
RDetection becomes difficult when the image
is dark.
RYou can also adjust the sensitivity of the
camera unit’s motion detection feature and
select which areas of the camera image are
monitored for motion detection.
Temperature sensor
The sensor is triggered when the set
temperature range is exceeded.
Note:
RThe temperature sensor may not detect
temperature accurately if the camera unit is
exposed to warm or cool breezes from
heating/cooling systems.
RIf a power failure occurs or the power is
disconnected, the temperature will not be
accurate for up to an hour.
RYou can adjust the temperature setting of
the temperature sensor (page 20).
Sound sensor
The sensor is triggered when the set sound
level is exceeded.
Note:
RThe sound sensor does not function while
the camera unit’s lullaby feature is playing a
lullaby.
RThe sound sensor does not function during
and for 5 seconds after pan/tilt operations.
RThe sound sensor may not function as
desired when the camera unit is placed in
noisy environments.
RYou can adjust the sound level setting of
the sound sensor (page 27).
Information about night vision mode
The camera unit features an array of infrared
LEDs that light automatically in low-light
conditions, allowing camera images to be
viewable even when the surrounding area is
dark.
Note:
RWhen night vision mode is active, camera
images are displayed in black and white.
RIf the camera unit is installed in front of a
window and points directly at the window,
images may be poor when night vision
mode is active.

Note about power connections
AC adaptor connection
RThe AC adaptor must remain connected at
all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel
warm during use.)
RThe AC adaptor should be connected to a
vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a

power failure.
Placing the camera unit on a flat
surface
The camera unit can be placed on a flat
surface, however make sure to choose a
stable location.
Wall mounting
RAttach the wall mounting adaptor to the
camera unit after making the connections
(page 12).
ROnly use the supplied screw that is
attached to the camera base when
attaching the wall mounting adaptor to the
camera unit. Do not use user supplied
screws. This may cause the camera unit to
become loose from the wall mounting
adaptor.
RMount the camera unit on the stable
location where the unit can be adequately
supported when installing.
RUse a string or wire to prevent the camera
unit from falling and causing injury if the
camera unit comes off from the wall.
RDo not mount the wall mounting adaptor to
a ceiling.
RDo not mount the camera unit on a soft
material. It may fall down, break or cause
injury.
