2.4 Split screen and automatic switching between camera images

If 2 cameras are added to the monitor, it is possible to view the images in split screen. It is also possible to switch the image of the monitor between the different cameras every 10 seconds.

Split screen

1 Add an additional camera as described in 2.1 "Pairing the Monitor and Camera".
2 Press the bottom left of the main screen to go to split screen.

In this screen it is possible to view the images from both cameras. It is also possible to switch between the sound recorded by the cameras. To do this, press the symbol 'Automatic camera image switching', see 1.5 "Monitor symbols dual screen". If you press on one of the images, the monitor will only show the image from that camera.

Automatic switching between camera images (SEQ)

You can have the camera images automatically switched by clicking on the images with the tick in the split screen overview at the bottom left. The image shown by the monitor will then change every 8 seconds. The letters SEQ can be seen in the lower right corner.

2.5 VOX mode

VOX is the abbreviation of 'Voice Activated Transmission'. When this feature is enabled, the monitor will turn on when there is actual sound in the baby's room.

Action:

VOX mode kicks in when the monitor is in standby (power-saving mode). When sound is detected, the image of the camera in question will be displayed. Of course, the sound will also be audible, provided that the volume on the monitor is turned on.

When two cameras are used, the image will automatically switch if sound is detected by the other camera.

It is possible to enable the VOX mode per camera. In addition, you can also adjust the threshold of the detection. If it is set to 'high', the monitor will be switched on when there is little noise.

2.6 Battery management

It is important that the screen can be used for a long time, without having to be charged. This way, its mobility will be increased and you can always keep an eye on your child. With normal use, the battery of the screen should last around 6-8 hours. In addition, we have a few more tips to help you extend the baby monitor's battery life.

  • Switch on automatic energy-saving mode. See chapter 2.3 point 3
  • Switch on VOX mode so that the display is activated only when sound is detected. When the sensitivity is set to 'Low', the display will activate even less quickly.

Make sure to place the display on the charging station at night so that you can use the monitor during the day without any problems.
Of course, the battery will also last longer if the display is used less.

Please note! When the system is in use for an extended period of time, battery performance will decrease. With each charging cycle, the maximum battery life will decrease slightly.

3. ELRO Baby Monitor app

Download the free ELRO Baby Monitor App from the Google Play Store or App Store. Please read and accept User Agreement and Privacy Policy to proceed.

Please note! You can log in to multiple smartphones using the same account to use the baby monitor. Image quality and speed may decrease when the image is viewed with multiple devices at the same time.

3.3 Pairing Camera with Smartphone

1 Plug the camera into the wall socket. If the plug is already inserted then remove the plug, wait a 1 minute and then insert the plug again. Wait until the camera says 'Camera activated'.
2 Press the "+" in the top right corner or press the 'Add device" button.
3 Select the "BC4000".
4 Press and hold the "Pair" button on the bottom of the camera for approx. 5 seconds until the camera says: "Reset successfully".
After 10-20 seconds, 'Camera activated' will be heard again and the night light will flash. The baby monitor will repeatedly say: "Scanning mode is active". This means that the camera is in pairing mode.

a Note: the camera will be temporarily out of range on the included monitor.

6 Check the box and press "Next".
7 You will then be asked to enter the Wi-Fi network. When the location service is enabled, the network to which the smartphone is connected is automatically filled in and only the password needs to be entered. Press "Next".
8 A QR code will appear on the smartphone. Hold this QR code approx. 20cm in front of the camera lens so that the camera can read the QR code.
9 When "Scan succeeded" is heard, you can press "Scan successful" in the app.
10 The camera is automatically registered on the server and added to the app. You will automatically see when the camera has been added. Optionally, change the name, if desired. This can be adjusted at a later time. Press "Continue".
11 The camera will be active on the monitor again and the night light will continue to flash.
12 The camera is added when the camera's light is turned off and will immediately show live images.

If, for some reason, you have not been able to connect the camera to your smartphone and then the app to your network, start again at this chapter. Unplug the power from the camera and plug it back in. Pay attention to the following points:

You must have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. A combined Wi-Fi band with both 2.4 and 5GHz will also work in most cases.
Make sure the lens of the camera is clean when the QR code is scanned.
Make sure you have a high-quality Wi-Fi signal.
Make sure Location Services is turned on.
Make sure the camera and the smartphone are near the router.
Make sure that there is no large distance between the smartphone and the camera.
- If all of the above doesn't work, we recommend creating a separate 2.4GHz guest network. This is a bare connection and the installation often works on such a signal.

3.4 Add multiple users

It is possible to use the app on multiple phones by logging in with the account where the camera is installed.
- Please note! The quality and speed of the image may decrease when the image from the camera is viewed by multiple users at the same time.
Another option is to share the camera with another account. To do this, the user with whom the camera is shared must also create an account. You can share the device in the camera's settings (Section 3.6.4 - Share device).
The second user will have fewer rights than the main user. This way, no adjustments can be made by the person the camera is shared with. This is useful when, for example, you want to grant someone temporary access to the camera.

3.5 Receive notifications

To receive notifications on the phone, notifications must be enabled on your phone and all permissions must be accepted. Activate the permissions as yet, or uninstall the app and reinstall so that you do now accept the permissions during installation.

For example, you can receive a notification if:

Sound Detection (VOX)
Temperature that is too high and too low
Camera offline

  2. Navigate to the camera's settings.
  3. At the bottom of the list, you'll find "Device Update"
  4. When a new version is available, you can install it.

We recommend that you always install the most recent version of the camera firmware to ensure the safety and operation of the camera.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and troubleshooting

Are you having problems with the installation? Check out www.elro.eu/faq to get a quick answer to your question. Here you will find the latest version of the manual, answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) and detailed installation videos, among other things.

If you still experience problems connecting the baby monitor. Then look at our troubleshooting:

My camera is out of range.

  • Make sure the monitor's antenna is unfolded when using the system. This will result in an increased range of the baby monitor.
  • Check the location of the monitor and the camera to make sure they are in range of each other.
    Metal, (thick) walls or other interfering signals will have a negative impact on the transmission range.

The camera doesn't connect to the app

You must have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. A combined Wi-Fi band with both 2.4 and 5GHz will also work in most cases.
Make sure the lens of the camera is clean when the QR code is scanned.
Make sure you have a high-quality Wi-Fi signal.
Make sure Location Services is turned on.
Make sure the camera and the smartphone are near the router.
Make sure that there is no large distance between the smartphone and the camera.
If all of the above doesn't work, we recommend creating a separate 2.4GHz guest network. This is a bare connection and the installation often works on such a signal.

Is my baby monitor safe?

  • Yes, the baby monitor uses FHSS. This means that the frequency jumps every few seconds, making it difficult for an external party to pick up this signal.
    It is only possible to install the baby monitor in the app when you have the camera in your hand. This makes it impossible for outsiders to pair the camera.

How do I reset the camera?

  • You can reset the camera by pressing and holding the 'Pair' button on the bottom of the camera, until the camera indicates 'Reset successful'.

No sound is detected by the camera.

  • If VOX mode is not activated when detecting sound, you can try setting the sensitivity to 'High'. Sound will then be detected at a lower threshold.

How many cameras can be connected to the monitor and the app?

  • You can pair up to two cameras with the monitor. In the app, however, you can add up to 16 cameras. The images can thereby be viewed simultaneously.
