Follow these clear steps to set up your Oricom Eclipse Smart WiFi Audio Monitor, from unboxing to connecting via the app, with tips to avoid common mistakes.
Quick answer
To set up the Oricom Eclipse Smart WiFi Audio Monitor, plug in the parent unit and baby unit, download the free app, connect to your home WiFi, and pair the units following the on-screen prompts. This guide walks you through each step and highlights common pitfalls.
Before you start: what you need
Make sure you have a stable 2.4 GHz WiFi network (the monitor does not support 5 GHz networks), a smartphone or tablet with the latest version of the companion app installed, and both the baby unit and parent unit powered on within 3 feet of each other during initial pairing. The Oricom Eclipse is designed for children aged 3 to 5 years, so if you're using it for a newborn, confirm the audio sensitivity meets your needs.
Common setup mistake: forgetting to update the app
Many users skip checking for app updates before starting, which can cause connection failures. Always open your device's app store and install the latest version of the Oricom Smart Baby Monitor app before plugging in the units. This avoids frustrating mid-setup restarts.
Step-by-step setup guide
- Unbox and place the units: Remove the baby unit and parent unit from the packaging. Place the baby unit in the nursery, at least 3 feet away from the crib, on a flat surface. Plug both units into power using the included adapters. Wait for the indicator lights to turn solid. Keep the units within 3 feet of each other during initial pairing — moving them apart too soon can cause a failed connection.
- Download and open the app: On your smartphone or tablet, go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search for 'Oricom Smart Baby Monitor'. Download and install the app. Open it and create an account or log in if you already have one. Grant the app permission to access your WiFi and location (required for network scanning). If the app doesn't detect your monitor, close and reopen it, then check that your phone is connected to a 2.4 GHz network — 5 GHz networks are not supported.
- Connect the parent unit to WiFi: In the app, tap 'Add Device' and select 'Oricom Eclipse Audio Monitor'. Follow the prompts to enter your WiFi password. The parent unit will emit a confirmation tone once connected. The app will then ask you to pair the baby unit — press and hold the pair button on the baby unit until the light blinks rapidly. If pairing fails after three attempts, power-cycle both units by unplugging them for 10 seconds, then restart from step 1.
- Test audio and adjust settings: Once paired, the app will show a live audio feed. Speak into the baby unit to confirm you can hear yourself on the parent unit. Adjust the volume and microphone sensitivity from the app's settings menu. Set a custom alert for sound or temperature changes if desired. Test the range by walking to the farthest corner of your home with the parent unit — if the audio cuts out, move the baby unit closer to the WiFi router or consider a WiFi extender.
