Baby Monitor: VTech RM5764-2HD Cameras will not "beep" or enter pairing mode.

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 18:06:46 -0700

Hi all, I recently purchased a used Vtech RM5764-2HD Baby monitor. Both of the cameras show a steady orange light when I turn them on and will not connect to the parent unit. I have attempted to factory reset the cameras by holding down the pair button as instructed. However, the cameras do not make an audible "beep" as the instructions indicate and just show a steady orange light. Any help is greatly appreciated, TIA.

Baby Monitor: Vtech BM4000/VM341 Safe and sound linking problems

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 18:37:01 -0700

My units were working great until recently, where the camera got knocked onto the floor and may have been damaged slightly. The sound of lullabies when played from camera is getting stuck on notes sometimes unless the power cord is held in certain spots.

The biggest problem is linking between parent and baby unit barely functions now. Tried unlinking and re-linking, took me almost an hour to get a re-link to work! Just wondering what the problem could be and if its repairable ? I have carefully opened the camera (baby) unit and nothing is damaged as far as I can see (no soldering either). Thinking it is a power pin cord issue..?

Any advice would be great!

Infant Optics DXR-8: Freezing after a short while

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 10:08:43 -0700

The monitor will power on and allow switching between the cameras ( I have 2 ), for about a minute or two. Then the image on the screen will freeze, it will go silent, and become completely unresponsive to any button presses, including the power button. The only way I can get it to snap out of if is to pull the battery. Any repair suggestions?

Infant Optics DXR-8: Power supply isn't providing the monitor power

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 10:32:35 -0700

I'm having issues with my Infant Optics DXR-8 Baby Monitor.

My daughter knocked the monitor off a high shelf. I turned the monitor on, everything looked and worked fine. Later that night, while the monitor was plugged in and on, the low battery alarm started going off. I realized that the battery had not been charging even though the monitor was plugged in. For some reason, power from the wall (5VDC I think?) is not making it into the monitor, most likely (in my opinion) because something broke loose when the monitor fell. Has anyone had a similar issue? I'm going to open it up tonight and see if I can see anything obvious, hopefully I'll just need to resolder a lead, but I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas if there isn't an obvious issue.

Flipping through the other questions on this site, I realized a lot of these monitors are USB charging. This monitor isn't USB, it's a 3.5 mm jack (or similar, maybe slightly smaller).

Someone gave me a D-Link DCS-700LA1 Wi-Fi baby cam and I can connect it to my device but it can’t seem to find any local Wi-Fi. I even tried my hotspot on my phone and it couldn’t find it either. I have a comcast Wi-Fi router if that gives and clues as to what the problem is. Thanks.

Infant Optics DXR-8: Where can I buy a replacement charging port?

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 06:29:06 -0700

My monitor has a loose charging port. Where can I buy a replacement port to solder back onto the motherboard if the existing one needs to be replaced?

This unit uses the flat port, not pin port.

VTech Safe And Sound DM221: One monitor "not register" other is linked

Sun, 18 Aug 2019 12:33:01 -0700

We have one audio monitor that is linked and another on that says “not register”. The owners manual doesn’t mention how to handle this problem. We tried turning off and unplugging all of the devices. Does anyone know how to handle this? We bought it second hand.

Infant Optics DXR-8: External battery charger available?

Of course the charging port has broken on this monitor. Does anyone know of a simple external charger that I could buy to charge the battery when drained. Repair not worth the cost

Infant Optics DXR-8: Can I pair a camera with 2 receivers?

Wed, 10 Jan 2018 18:07:54 -0700

I know in the manual, it says that each camera can only be paired with on monitor (screen/receiver) at a time. We did not know this, and purchased a second kit with both a camera and a monitor. It would be nice for my wife and I to each have one when we are in different parts of the house. Do any tech savvy folks out there know of a work-around so that we can pair a camera with both monitors at the same time? I thought perhaps we could somehow "trick" them into all running on the same frequency or something. Thanks!
