The LEDs can illuminate objects up to a distance of
approximately 2 meters.
When it’s dark, that is when the night vision LEDs
are switched on, the images on the parent unit will be

When the battery capacity further decreases to nearly empty ,
this red battery symbol starts ashing. Also the power indica-
