VTech VS13102 Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant and I've reviewed the user guide for the VTech IP Camera VS13102. This document outlines how to set up your new device, connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and use the mobile app for remote monitoring. It covers important features like motion-activated recording, micro SD card storage, night vision, built-in speaker and microphone, and mounting options. I am ready to answer any questions you may have about your IP camera.
  • Can I turn off the LEDs on the IP camera?
    Why is my screen in black and white?
    What should I do if the IP camera does not respond normally?
