General Product Questions
Why choose a baby monitor without WiFi?
In short, non-WiFi baby monitors provide parents with enhanced security, reliability and simplicity.
A baby monitor without WiFi offers better protection against hacking. The baby monitor and baby camera use a closed-loop system for communication, meaning they create a private connection that cannot be detected or accessed by other devices and can’t be easily hacked.
To further protect this closed-loop communication, non-WiFi baby monitors like Peekyboo use WPA2 encryption technology. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128-bit key to encrypt data. This means all data is scrambled, making it indecipherable to hackers, adding an extra layer of security and ensuring that your baby monitor devices are extremely safe.
Non-WiFi baby monitors are often plug-and-play, making them more portable and versatile, particularly in environments with an unstable internet connection.
A baby monitor without WiFi often offers more simple functionality, without subscriptions or the need for apps, making them more use-friendly, and often more budget-friendly too.
Does Peekyboo have a phone app?
Peekyboo's hybrid system gives you all the safety of a non-WiFi monitor but with the added capability to record and store video footage, even if the baby monitor is switched off. So if you missed something in real time, you can still review the day with ease with our smart video recording features.
Does Peekyboo come with a micro SD card?
Micro SD cards must be purchased separately. Peekyboo baby camera supports a Micro SD card up to 128GB for maximum storage. This will give you approximately 224 hours or more than 9 days of video recordings.
What type of USB connection does Peekyboo use?
The baby camera has a micro USB connection and port, to be used with the smaller AC adapter marked 5V⎓1.0A. The baby monitor has a USB Type-C connection and port, and uses the bigger AC adapter marked 5V⎓2.0A.
For safety please always use the provided AC adapters with your Peekyboo devices.
What is the maximum possible distance between Peekyboo's baby monitor and baby camera?
Peekyboo has a long range of up to 400 meters (1300 feet) in open sky without obstruction. In a home environment, this will vary depending on factors such as the layout of your home, including the number of walls and their thickness.
How does Peekyboo's night vision work?
The Peekyboo baby camera is fitted with 6 invisible infrared lights, giving you high contrast, clear imagery on the monitor at night time. In ‘More settings’ when you set the night vision mode to ‘auto’ the camera will automatically switch to night vision mode when light conditions transition to darkness.
Is Peekyboo suitable for monitoring the elderly or pets?
Absolutely! Peekyboo gives you a complete local video system for monitoring elderly family members in real-time. Features like two-way audio communication and smart sound alerts mean you can keep an eye on loved ones of any age while you get on with your day. For a camera look more suited to adults simply remove the silicone hat on the Peekyboo camera.
Monitor pets in the same way. You can even watch back what your furry friends get up to you when you're not at home with our smart video recording feature. Keep the silicone hat on the camera so your beloved pet has a cute Peekyboo friend with them always!
Where can I find the user manual?
Find the Peekyboo user guide right here.
Does Peekyboo come with a product warranty?
Yes. All Peekyboo products come with a 12-month limited warranty. For more information about our warranty terms please click here.
Does Peekyboo have a floor stand?
However, our baby cameras have a wide-angle lens, which is a game changer for a lot of parents wanting to get a full view of their baby’s crib or bed without the need to purchase additional accessories, like a stand mount.
You may also find it helpful to know that our Snake Mount comes with a mount adapter which has a 1/4-inch threaded screw attachment. This attachment is compatible with most camera mounting systems.
Peekyboo's Baby Camera
Is the Peekyboo baby camera portable?
Peekyboo's baby camera does not have a built-in battery, and therefore it needs to be connected to a power source via the AC power adapter when in use.
Where can I mount my baby monitor?
The baby camera can be mounted to a ceiling, wall or in a corner position using the mounting bracket supplied with every Peekyboo baby camera purchase, including the Peekyboo set, bundle and additional camera.
The baby camera can also be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling by securely attaching the mounting screws to a flat surface using the supplied paper measuring guide. The baby camera is mounted onto the screws using the mounting holes located on the underside of the camera.
Do Peekyboo baby cameras have an in-built threaded screw for mounting?
However, the Peekyboo Snake Mount does come with a custom mount adapter, which has a 1/4-inch threaded screw attachment. The mount adapter gives you the freedom to attach your Peekyboo baby camera to just about any mounting or tripod system.
How wide is the camera angle on the Peekyboo baby camera?
Peekyboo's baby camera is fitted with an extra wide lens equivalent approximately to an 18mm lens. For the camera aficionados out there, the field of view is exactly D108° H92° V50°. For the less technically inclined, Peekyboo's lens gives a similar field of view as a wide-angle smartphone camera.
How does the remote pan, tilt and zoom work?
The Peekyboo baby monitor has dedicated monitor buttons for complete ease of access to remote pan, tilt and zoom.
Remote pan & tilt works by pressing the directional keys on the baby monitor so you can roam the nursery with ease. The baby camera will silently pan and tilt without causing unnecessary disturbances.
Short press the zoom button on the side of the baby monitor to switch between 1.5X, 2X (lossless quality), 4X zoom and zoom off.
Does video recording work on the baby camera even when the baby monitor is off?
Yes. If you have selected a video recording mode on the baby monitor this mode will remain active on the baby camera even if the monitor is switched off. Our non-WiFi hybrid system means you'll never miss a moment, even if you don't catch it in real time. Pretty cool, huh?
All videos will be stored on the micro SD card in the baby camera.
What is the quality of the video recording and photo files?
Peekyboo's baby camera gives amazing 2K quality video recordings, and photos are captured in 720p.
Can I turn the LED light on the baby camera off?
We understand that many parents want a baby monitor without light, and we know how sensitive little eyes can be at bedtime. Peekyboo comes with a built-in LED light switch for the baby camera, so you can rest easy knowing your little one has the perfect sleeping environment.
To turn off the LED light on the baby camera, go to Menu > Camera Settings > Camera LED and select the camera whose LED light you wish to switch off.
Can I remove the silicone hat on the baby camera?
Yes, however, please remove it gently to avoid damaging the silicone. Be careful not to overstretch the silicone as this may result in tearing.
Peekyboo's Baby Monitor
I need a baby monitor with 2 cameras. How many baby cameras can I connect at one time?
You can connect up to four baby cameras to one Peekyboo baby monitor. This makes Peekyboo a smart one-time investment that can grow with your family or your home.
The Peekyboo 2 Camera bundle gives you a baby monitor with 2 cameras for the best value, so you can monitor your twins, 2 bedrooms or 2 rooms of your home straight out of the box.
How many baby cameras can I view on the baby monitor at one time?
View up to four baby cameras at one time in various settings to suit your requirements. Use "split screen" to display all connected cameras on the screen at the same time. Multi-camera cycling will cycle through all connected cameras in full screen at set intervals of your choosing from 5-30 seconds, or manually switch between cameras by long pressing the OK button.
What is VOX on a baby monitor?
VOX stands for Voice Activation. It means that your baby monitor screen, or parent unit, will activate and display the video feed when a sound or cry is detected from the baby camera. This is a great battery-saving feature, that also gives added peace of mind knowing that the baby monitor screen will visually alert you to your baby’s cries.
With Peekyboo, you can choose between 5 sensitivity settings for VOX, depending on your needs.
Does VOX work when there are multiple baby cameras connected to the baby monitor?
Peekyboo has a number of options for displaying multiple baby cameras on the baby monitor screen at the same time; "split screen" displaying all cameras at once, and multi-camera cycling which cycles through all connected cameras in full screen at set intervals of your choosing from 5-30 seconds. VOX works with both of these display modes.
In order to quickly identify which baby camera has detected sound we recommend using multi-camera cycling, as the camera where sound is detected will be the one displayed in full screen when the screen turns on with VOX.
Another option with both display modes that allows you to identify the baby camera where sound is detected is Peekyboo’s Sound Alerts feature. With Sound Alerts set up, sound from any connected baby camera will trigger a notification on the baby monitor, which also displays which baby camera has detected sound. Set the volume and duration of the sound alert to suit your preference.
How long does the battery last on the Peekyboo baby monitor?
The battery life ranges between 8 to 12 hours depending on usage. This is majorly influenced by factors such as VOX and other battery-saving features like Audio Only and Sleep modes, screen brightness level, active screen time like video playback, and the number of connected baby cameras.
How long does it take to recharge the Peekyboo baby monitor?
The battery normally takes under 4 hours to fully charge. Please use the provided AC monitor adapter for optimal results.
Do lullabies play on the baby monitor when playing on the baby camera?
We know that sleepy time for babies doesn't always mean the same for parents. That's why when lullabies are active on Peekyboo's baby camera they are not audible on the baby monitor.
Peekyboo's Smart Features
Does Peekyboo have any smart sound detection features?
Yes. Use our Voice Activation (VOX) or Sound Alert features to activate sound detection on your Peekyboo baby monitor.
When VOX is on with sleep mode the baby monitor screen will activate automatically when sound is detected from the baby camera. VOX has 5 sensitivity levels so you can set the sound threshold that works for you and your baby. The lower the threshold the lower the sound required to activate the baby monitor screen.
With sound alerts you can choose to receive a notification on the baby monitor when your baby makes a sound. Choose from 5 sound sensitivity settings, as well as setting the duration and volume of the alert on the monitor. The lower the sensitivity the higher the sound level required to activate the alert.
Does the Peekyboo baby monitor have a motion sensor?
Yes, the Peekyboo baby camera does have a built-in motion sensor that detects movement for use with Motion Detection Recording.
With Motion Detection Recording set to on, a recording of 60 seconds will automatically commence when the camera’s motion sensor detects movement. A red dot will appear on the top left corner of the baby monitor screen when the camera is recording.
This feature is only accessible when there is a micro-SD card inserted into the camera. The camera support a micro-SD card up to 128GB.
Does Peekyboo have motion detection alerts?
No, Peekyboo does not have Motion Detection alerts. The motion sensor on the camera currently only functions to detect movement for use with Peekyboo’s video recording features.
How can I look at videos and photos stored on the micro SD card?
Peekyboo's playback feature allows you to access and view all videos and photos stored on the micro SD card directly on the baby monitor.
To access stored videos and photos from the menu page, go to Camera Settings > Videos / Photos and select the desired file to playback on the monitor.
Alternatively, remove the micro SD card from the baby camera, insert it into your laptop or tablet and view the files with your usual, go-to media player.
Can I record videos and capture photos if the micro SD card is full?
When the micro SD card is full, new photos and videos will overwrite the earliest videos and photos on the micro SD card. If you don't want files to be overwritten with new recordings and photos, please back up your micro SD card before it reaches full capacity.
Check the status of the micro SD card by selecting Menu > Camera Settings > Status of Micro SD card.
For reference, a 128GB micro SD card will give you approximately 224 hours or more than 9 days of video recordings.
How does Audio Only work?
Audio Only is a great battery saving feature and allows you to listen to audio from the baby camera without video.
To activate Audio Only go to Menu > Monitor Settings > Audio Only to turn this mode on or off. When sleep mode is activated, the baby monitor will continue to transmit audio without waking the display screen on the monitor. Please note this feature does not work when VOX is on.
Does Peekyboo have temperature alerts?
Yes, the temperature sensor fitted to Peekyboo's baby camera feeds a temperature reading to the baby monitor so you can gauge the subtle shifts in your baby’s comfort zone.
From the baby monitor set low and high temperature thresholds to be alerted on the monitor when the temperature moves above or below these thresholds.
