Under normal conditions, the monitor connects directly to the camera without using Wi-Fi, which allows for quick setup but may limit the connection range.

When the monitor and camera are too far apart or the signal becomes weak, Smart Connect enables them to communicate through your home Wi-Fi router, providing a more stable and extended connection.

This feature helps ensure smoother video transmission and more reliable monitoring even in larger homes.
