Night vision
The baby unit has infrared LEDs that
allow you to see your baby clearly at
night or in a dark room. When the baby
unit being viewed detects low light
levels, the infrared LEDs are switched
on automatically. The images from the
baby unit are in black and white, and
appears on the screen.
Notes
• It is normal if you see a short white glare
on your parent unit screen as the baby unit
is adapting to the dark environment.
• When the infrared LEDs are on, the images
are in black and white. This is normal.
Tip
• Depending on the surroundings and other
interfering factors, like lightings, objects,
colors and backgrounds, the video quality
may vary. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or
place the baby unit at a higher level to
prevent glare and blurry display.
