You can continue using your video monitor with Local mode connection, or you can set up your monitor in Remote mode connection. Remote mode uses your home Wi-Fi network to connect your video monitor. It supports streaming live video through parent unit and smartphone app. We recommend that you set up your monitor in Remote mode to enjoy streaming live video via your parent unit with better connection, and/or via your smartphone while you are on the move. Local mode Remote mode • Your parent unit detects the connection signal strength. If you have connected your video monitor with your home Wi-Fi network, your parent unit automatically switches to local or remote mode - the one that has stronger signal strength. • You may experience reduced signal strength if your parent unit and camera unit are far apart when streaming live video in local mode.
