Product Information
Full details
The GHB ABM800 Baby Monitor is designed for parents seeking a secure and straightforward way to keep an eye on their child without the complexities or privacy concerns of Wi-Fi connected devices. Its primary benefit is a completely private, encrypted connection, eliminating the risk of data breaches. A potential caveat is its reliance on a dedicated frequency, meaning it doesn't offer remote viewing capabilities beyond the parent unit's range. Key features include night vision, two-way audio, room temperature monitoring, and a power-saving VOX mode.

Troubleshooting
Screen shows 'No Signal'
Ensure both the camera and parent unit are powered on and within range. Check if the camera is securely plugged in. Try re-pairing the units following the manual's instructions.
Poor video or audio quality
