VTech VS13112-2 Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm here to help you with your VTech Camera System VS13112-2. I've reviewed the user guide, and I understand that this system allows you to monitor areas remotely using HD cameras, a 5-inch touch screen viewer, and the MyVTech Cams app. It features remote access, night vision, and storage for recorded video. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about the device and its features .
  • Can I turn off the LEDs on the camera unit if they are too bright?
    What is the purpose of the micro SD card slot on the camera unit?
    How many HD cameras can I connect to the home viewer?
