ANDROID BABY MONITOR APP SETUP

The first time you open the app you will get a prompt to add some public cameras to your list. These are used for demos. Choose NO.   4. Next you will be asked if you would like to view a video introduction, for the purposes of this document we will say no to this at this time. You can always go back to it later by entering the apps help section. 5. Next see a popup that no cameras have been found and will ask you if you would like to assign a new one. Click Yes and the camera settings page will appear so you can enter the settings for your new camera.   6. The following options need to be entered.

Click the Back button in the upper left twice and your live view should appear. REMOTE “NANNY CAM” VIEWING The tinyCam monitor pro app will also work when you are not on your home WiFi network with some addition settings added to the app. The app will automatically switch to these remote settings when the app detects the device is no longer on the same WIFi network as the camera. 1.

By default this port will be 8150, unless another port has been configured for this purpose. When you leave your home wifi network you should now be able to view the camera. WIFI BABY AUDIO SETUP (older generation WiFi Baby models) It is unlikely you will need to do the following steps.  A few minor changes MIGHT NEED TO BE MADE on your WiFi Baby camera ONLY if you have an older generation WiFi Baby model and are not hearing audio.  These audio settings are your WiFi Baby camera’s settings using your computer, this is not an option on your Android phone. These settings need to be done in order for your camera to produce audio on the Android. These steps will walk you through these settings. 1. Go to your WiFi Baby camera’s login screen using your computer (not your Android phone) and select SETTINGS. Enter your username and password if prompted 2. Click on the CAMERA > STREAM SETUP, scroll down to the MOBILE SETTINGS. Change the last option to Enable (For PC) and click APPLY.   3. Go to the tinyCam Monitor PRO app on your Android. When the video appears you will see an icon that looks like a speaker with a “X” , click on this to enable audio. (On some phones/tablets you may need to be in landscape mode to see the icon). The camera in the tinyCam Monitor Pro app should now have video and audio. You are now set to access your camera from your Android devices with tinyCam Monitor PRO. **Because of buffering between camera and receiver (phone/tablet) there may be a 1-2 second delay for audio.
