General Placement Considerations
The BW140R camera can be placed on a shelf or other flat surface. You
may also use the flexible to mount it along the railing.
• The camera included is NOT weatherproof; it is an indoor camera.
• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and the Wi-Fi router
is best. Walls, especially brick and concrete, can affect connection
quality.
• Avoid having a direct light source in view of the camera (ceiling or
floor lamps).
• Carefully plan where and how the camera will be positioned, and
where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power
adaptor.
• Do not cover or obstruct the inlet holes for the temperature sensors
and leave the sensor horizontal for more accurate reading. The
temperature reading is for reference only and there may be some
variance between the actual temperature and the temperature
reading.
INSTALLATION

Wi-Fi Operating Considerations
• Ensure the Wi-Fi signal reception is acceptable between the BW140R
and the Wi-Fi router. If necessary, reduce the distance between them
to improve overall system performance.
• As the Wi-Fi environments may vary including home construction type
and wireless interference from other electronic devices, your device
may indicate that the camera is disconnected or may display a black
screen.
• Please note the camera can only connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and does
not support 5GHz Wi-Fi connection.
If you’re getting a weak Wi-Fi signal or you can’t connect to Wi-Fi at all
on your phone at the installation area, we recommend moving your router
closer or install a Wi-Fi extender to improve signal reception or selecting
another installation location.
Powering the Camera
1. Insert one end of the micro USB cable to the micro USB port on the
camera (at the back of the camera).
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable into the USB power adaptor.
3. Connect the USB power adaptor into a 240 volt AC (standard indoor)
power outlet.
4. Switch on the plug and allow the camera to power up. This can take
up to a minute.
5. When the camera starts flashing red, it is ready to be paired with your
Wi-Fi network.

To set up your new BW140R baby monitor camera, please make sure it’s

Prerequisites
