F.A.Q
Quick Tips for Buying Baby Monitors
1. Baby monitors give parents the freedom to sleep in a separate room at night or do chores during the day while being able to hear baby's breathing and cries.
2. The baby monitor you choose should work in conjunction with the type of home you live in and how much you want to spend. For example, if your bedroom is far away from baby's or you have cement walls, you will want a monitor with a stronger transmitter.
3. Frequency is another thing to consider. Monitors that operate on 49 MHz are less expensive but often have more interference from other electronics. 900 MHz monitors are less likely to have interference, while the 2.4GHz models will have the best clarity and the widest frequency.
4. Baby monitors are available in electronic or battery-operated models. Just remember that while battery-powered transmitters and receivers are great for moving around, they will require frequent battery replacement. We suggest looking for models that use batteries as well as A/C adapters or models with rechargeable batteries.
5. Great features to look for in a baby monitor include conveniences like low battery indicators and volume controls. Multiple channel options help you find the best reception. Sound-activated lights are ideal when you're involved in something that prevents you from hearing the baby's cries. Finally, models with double receivers are great for leaving one in a room and carrying the other around with you.
6. Keep all monitor equipment and cords out of baby's reach. Keep an eye on dying batteries and replace them often. Don't use the monitor near water. Don't leave baby unattended for long periods. Even with a monitor, you should check on baby in person often. You should never rely on just a monitor to keep your baby safe. Always submit your product registration card so you can be notified in case of a recall.
Gogo-power Battery & Goscam FAQ
How long I should charge my new before first use? TOP |
Upon initial use, the battery may require to charge fully for achieving the maximum capacity. Most batteries will automatically stop charging when they have been fully charged.
|
Can I use my original battery charger to charge the Powersmart battery? TOP |
All of our batteries can be charged by the original battery chargers. On the other hand, our battery chargers can charge the OEM batteries.
|
How do I know my battery has been fully charged? TOP |
There are charging status LED indicators on our battery chargers. The LED "STAUTS" lights in red and the LED "CHARGER" flashes in green while the battery charger connected to the power supply. After you've loaded the battery, the LED "CHARGER" lights in red. The LED "CHARGER" flashes in green and red alternately when the battery is almost achieving maximum capacity (over 90%). The LED "CHARGER" will lights green when the charger completed the charging process.
|
Why is there a run-time difference comparing with the OEM batteries? TOP |
All of our batteries are manufactured with high quality cells, which may not be the same material as that in OEM batteries. Actually, almost all electronic device manufacturers do not produce the batteries used in the devices. They all have to be manufactured by outside battery manufacturers. Therefore, there's no difference in turns of quality and reliability. Our aim to provide the best quality and high-performance batteries to our customers, we have adjusted the batteries' internal resistance for more stable and more reliable. As a result, there will be a little bit difference in our batteries run-time comparing with the OEM batteries' (no more than 10%).
|
What should I do for storing my battery? TOP |
If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it should be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place. Moreover, a charged battery may eventually lose its charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period (May be 3 months once).
|
What is the reason the run-time of my battery becomes shorter and shorter? TOP |
The batteries may at their end of useful life. Batteries are consumable products. After exceeding the battery life range, the batteries' charging and discharging efficiency will decline dramatically; therefore, it's time to get a new battery.
|
Why does my battery life become shorter in cold temperatures? TOP |
In general, battery is able to work in cold temperatures. But batteries will perform poorly at very low temperatures. Don't store your device in sub-zero temperatures; your battery may not have enough power to maintain the electronic device running.
|
How Long Will the New Main Battery Power the Laptop? TOP |
Battery run-time on a laptop is difficult to determine. Actual battery running time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment. The use of the screen, the hard drive and other accessories results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing its running time. The total run-time of the battery is also dependent upon the design of the equipment. Generally, a new Hi-Capacity battery will run 30% to 50% longer than the old battery did when it was new.
|
Does it really help to store batteries in the refrigerator? TOP |
Yes, but only if they can be kept dry as well. The higher the temperature, the more the free flow of ions or self-discharge from the battery. Storing primary batteries (D's, C's, AA's, AAA's, 9 volt, etc.) in a cooler environment slows down this rate of discharge that all batteries experience even when not in use, hence a longer shelf life. However, if this is done, it is important that the batteries be kept as dry as possible by keeping them in an airtight container in the driest part of the refrigerator, the door for example. Long term exposure to moisture inside the refrigerator can cause internal corrosion to the battery. When removing batteries from the refrigerator, allow them to warm up to room temperature before using them in your device.
|
How do I Dispose of my battery? TOP |
Nicad and NIMH batteries should be disposed of property. Do NOT throw these batteries in the trash. NiCad batteries are composed of approximately 20% cadmium, an extremely hazardous element which is environmentally detrimental. While NIMH batteries are environmentally friendly, the higher capacity NIMH cells still contain trace amounts of cadmium. Be environmentally conscious. Recycle your batteries.
|
How is a lithium battery different from an alkaline battery? TOP |
Battery chemistry and construction differ in the two systems. Since lithium is a very active material, it provides a great deal of power relative to the amount of material used in a battery. The lithium discharge curve is longer and flatter than alkaline, providing a consistently higher voltage throughout the life of the battery.

|
Are signals able to cross walls and other obstacles? TOP |
Yes, they are. Microwave signals can cross walls but this transmission is
not 100% guaranteed. It depends on the thickness and building material
of the walls. Most walls pose no problem for our cameras/transmitters to
send microwave signals. Nevertheless, walls made of metal frames or
built with thick blocks can weaken transmissions signals considerably. |
Can you add another camera or monitor? TOP |
Yes. Additional cameras and monitors can be purchased from our
accessories section, or contact us. Most of our receivers support up to 4
cameras, and most of our cameras have 4 channels. Please refer to the
product specification for detail.
|
How do you view two rooms? TOP |
Make sure each room's transmitter (Camera) is set to different channel
(1-4). You can then switch back and forth between rooms by switching
the channels on the receiver (Monitor).
|
How do I get the best range when using wireless video? TOP |
Here are some tips:
Place the transmitter where there are the fewest obstructions between it
and the receiver.
Place the monitor/receiver higher than the camera/transmitter.
Try making adjustments to the locations of the camera/transmitter and
monitor/receiver. Moving the location in any direction by only a few feet
will often improve the reception. |
Will 2.4GHz telephone system interference my monitor? TOP |
This device, as well as all other wireless devices, may be subject to
interference. Interference may be caused by cell phones, Bluetooth
headsets, Wi-Fi routers, power lines and other various electrical
equipment, etc. However, because most of our recievers/monitors have
3-4 channels, you can try changing the channels on both the monitor
and the camera to different channels, (CH1-4), but make sure monitor
and camera are on the same channel. Many 2.4GHz wireless cameras
and transmitters do get interference from 2.4GHz telephones. There is
no telling what problem may occur because of all the telephone
manufacturers and the different telephones. The older 2.4GHz
telephones occupy the entire 2.4GHz range. The newer 2.4GHz Digital
Spectrum telephones do not seem to cause interference. If you have a
2.4GHz phone system or any other 2.4GHz system in your home or
office and cannot get good video reception, then unplug the power to
your phone etc to determine if that is the problem.
|
Why are there so many interferences when the camera or transmitter is moved? TOP |
Even if the camera/transmitter is placed a few meters away from the
monitor/receiver, it is frequent to experience some interferences if for
instance we move the camera/transmitter sharply as we walk. These
interferences are caused by the signals' high-directionality.
|
Why Daisy night light does not respond to touch switch on/off? TOP |
When Daisy head is over turned (left/right), the 'soft-touch' might become
less sensitive because the connection might get loose. You can touch the
very top of the Daisy and it should work (see picture). Or you slightly
adjust the Daisy head's direction (left or right) to get the connection back.
Momentarily unplugging the power cord might do the trick as well.
|
How do you charge the battery on the Handheld/Camera unit? TOP |
If your model's hand-held or camera comes with a rechargeable battery,
plug in the A/C adaptor while it's connected to the hand-held/camera
unit and let it charge to restore the battery power. Please make sure its
polarities (+,-) match. Some Daisy monitors might not have a charge
light, as some manuals might indicate.
