QuestionWhat are those coloured bars next to the temperature on my vetch vm5251? It keeps my screen on for half hours long sometimes.. and it started Doing so recently.. but we did move the camera, it's back is facing the window..
Asked 6 years ago by Adam.
- Answer Adam - The colored bars are the signal strength of the sound being detected on the camera. When the baby unit detects no sound, the parent unit screen stays off to save power. Once a sound is detected, the parent unit screen turns on automatically. It will then turn off again after 50 seconds of no sound detection. Thank you, -VTech Support
