The Philips Avent Video Baby Monitor keeps switching between day and night vision

The baby monitor automatically switches between day and night vision based on the surrounding light and what the baby unit camera sees.


If the image switches between day and night vision unexpectedly, make sure the baby unit has a clear and unobstructed view of the room. Keep objects such as blankets, walls, or hands at least 50 cm away from the camera lens, as objects placed too close can affect night vision performance.

If you have taken these steps and are still experiencing issues, we can help. Contact us for one-on-one support from one of our experts.
