3. Install the Gooseneck Clamp Mount

1) Rotate the adjustment knob anticlockwise to loosen the clamp mount.

Note: To ensure stability, the thickness of the crib railing should be 5 mm (0.2 in.) - 40 mm (1.5 in.).

2) Attach the clamp mount to the center of the long sides of the crib.

3) Rotate the adjustment knob clockwise until tightened as much as possible.

Note: Keep the metal supports of the clamp mount in tight contact with the top surface of the crib railing while rotating the knob.

4. Secure the Baby Camera

Firmly plug the power cord into the Type-C port of the camera. Then attach the camera to the bracket and rotate clockwise to secure.

5. Adjust the Gooseneck

Power up the camera and preview the video on the Tapo app. Bend the gooseneck to adjust the installation height for the best viewing angle.

Note: The maximum installation height is 88 cm (2.89 ft).

Avoid the gooseneck contact with oily substances to keep it firm.

Refrain from overbending the gooseneck to prevent deformation and rebounds.

Option 2: Mount on a Wall/Ceiling (Best for Toddlers & Children/Suitable for Newborns & Infants)

1. Mark Mounting Position

1) Place your crib against the wall where you will mount the camera. Find the crib center and mark the centerline on the wall.

Note: Ensure no studs are in the crib center and the power outlet is out of your baby's reach.

2) Power up your camera. Move it along the centerline and preview the video on the Tapo app. When the entire crib is within the camera's wide-angle view, make a mark on the wall.

2) Insert two mounting anchors into the holes, then use the mounting screws to affix the bracket over the anchors.

Φ=6 mm (15/64 in.)

Note: Affix the bracket through the corresponding screw holes as instructed to ensure stability when you mount it on a wall or ceiling.
