OVERVIEW
kidCam offers a simple and versatile method of seeing and hearing your children across the home and garden. Two
compact wireless cameras transmit a clear, full colour picture (and sound) to a portable wireless screen from which
the footage of both cameras can be viewed. Both cameras incorporate night vision, so they can be used in the dark
to keep an eye on sleeping babies and children.
A car adapter kit is also available separately to allow use within a vehicle whilst driving. No more looking over your
shoulder to see what the kids are up to whilst driving!
100% digital car baby monitor kit
Interference-free wireless transmission

ATTACHING TO A FLAT SURFACE
The monitor and cameras can be attached to a completely smooth surface such as a window, mirror, or worktop.
To mount on a flat surface:
Place the suction cup on the surface and push the locking lever down
to secure it in place.

You can rotate the bracket through 360oto help in finding a suitable
position.
Slide the monitor onto the mount point.
The monitor can be tilted forward or backward to the required
position.
CAUTION
If the surface is not completely smooth, the vacuum may not hold the monitor or cameras properly.
Test to ensure the vacuum has created a solid grip before attaching the device to the bracket.
To remove from a flat surface:
Flip the locking lever into the unlocked position to release the grip.
There may still be a vacuum between the bracket and window. If this
occurs, gently pull the rubber tab until the seal is broken.
DESKTOP USE
The monitor can be placed on a desktop surface, without having to use the suction cup.
To position on a flat desktop surface:
Adjust the mounting arm into the position shown in the picture (right).
The monitor can be tilted forward or backward in this position.
NOTE
Use the bracket in this position if you are unsure whether another surface is suitable for use with the
suction cup.
