Place the wall mount on a wall and then use a pencil to mark the top and the bottom holes as shown. Then remove the wall mount and drill two holes in the wall. Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.
2. If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3. -ORIf you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes and tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall. 3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 0.7 cm of the screws are exposed.
Place the baby unit on the wall mount and tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit.
