SightAware Quick Start Guide

1

Choose your mount

Both mounting options are included. Pick the one that fits your nursery now — you can always switch later as your baby grows.

Flexible Crib Mount

Perfect for newborns. Clips on and adjusts to the ideal angle facing down.

Wall Mount

Flush and out of reach — ideal once your baby can sit or stand.

Using the Wall Mount? Tap for instructions

1

Hold the round mount plate against the wall so the two screw holes run vertically (top and bottom) and the two teeth run horizontally (left and right). The teeth sit slightly off-center, closer to the top. Secure the plate with the included screws.

2

On the back of the camera base, find the two keyhole-shaped slots. Line up the wide opening of each slot over the two teeth on the plate, then press the camera gently against it.

3

Slide the camera straight down until it locks into place. When seated correctly, it sits flush against the plate and is centered and even on all sides.

To remove: Slide the camera straight up to release the teeth, then lift it away from the wall.

For the most accurate skin temperature readings, mount the camera directly above the crib, facing downward. Measure the distance from the camera lens to the crib mattress surface — you'll set this in Step 5.

Pediatric guidance: Cameras and cords should be at least 3 feet (1 meter) from the crib mattress surface. Always keep all cables secured and out of baby's reach.

2

Plug in the camera

Connect the power cable to the camera and plug the adaptor into a wall outlet. Route the cable safely out of baby's reach. The camera's status light will turn on briefly, then go dark — by design, there are no visible LEDs during use.

Safety: Always keep power cables out of baby's reach and secured against the wall or crib frame.

Give it 30 minutes: Leave the camera plugged in and on in the nursery for at least 30 minutes before you rely on the reading. The sensor needs that time to settle into the room.

3

Turn on the parent display

Press and hold the power button on top of the handheld display. It will power on and automatically begin searching for your camera. The camera and display connect directly to each other — no WiFi, no app, no configuration needed.

The camera and display are pre-paired at the factory. If you ever need to re-pair, hold the pairing button on both devices simultaneously for 5 seconds.

4

Get to know your display

Once paired, you'll see a live video feed with temperature readings along the top. Here's what you're looking at:

Temperature is set to °F by default. This is a one-time setting — once set, it stays.

Set your distance

For accurate skin temperature readings, set the distance to match how far the camera is from the crib mattress. Go to the settings menu on the display and select the range closest to your actual measured distance.

Setting	Metric	Imperial
Close	60 – 80 cm	2.0 – 2.6 ft
Near	80 – 100 cm	2.6 – 3.3 ft
Standard Default	100 – 120 cm	3.3 – 3.9 ft
Far	120 – 150 cm	3.9 – 4.9 ft

How to measure: Use a tape measure from the camera lens straight down to the mattress surface. Choose the setting that contains your measurement. The more accurate the match, the more reliable your readings.

Remember: Pediatric guidance, and ours, is to keep the camera and cords at least 3 feet (1 meter) from the crib mattress. For sleep, use Standard or Far. Readings are most accurate from 3 to 4 feet and tightest at about 3½ feet.

Turn on the temperature alert

Check this before the first night

On some handhelds, the skin temperature alert is switched off by default. When it's off, the display won't beep and the screen won't light up when your baby's skin temperature passes the alert temperature you set. Setting a temperature is only half of it. The alert has to be switched on too.

The only exception: a reading above 102.2°F always lights up the screen and blinks the reading, but with the alert off it makes no sound.

Open the temperature menu (the thermometer icon on the bottom bar) and look at the thermometer-and-speaker icon:

Handheld temperature menu with a red X over the thermometer and speaker icon, meaning the temperature alert is off. — **Red X = alert OFF**No beep and no screen light-up at your alert temperature. Only a reading above 102.2°F lights the screen, silently.

Handheld temperature menu showing a thermometer and speaker icon with sound waves and no X, meaning the temperature alert is on. — **Sound waves, no X = alert ON**The screen lights up when the reading passes your alert temperature, and beeps if the handheld volume isn't muted.

Press OK/M to open the menu and select the thermometer icon.
Choose °F or °C.
On the row with the thermometer and speaker icon, press the left or right key until the red X is gone and you see sound waves.
Move to Set and use the left and right keys to choose your alert temperature. Not sure what number to pick? See setting your alert threshold.
Exit the menu and make sure the handheld volume isn't muted. Use the speaker keys to turn it up. If the volume is muted, the screen will light up for an alert but you won't hear a beep.
Look one more time: no red X over the speaker, and the volume is up.

Check the alert again any time the handheld has been reset, re-paired, or set up by someone else. If you ever see the red X, your alert temperature won't alert you.
