Q: How do I install USB drivers for remote viewing using
Skype™?
A: USB drivers for Skype™ remote viewing on PC are available as a free download. The driver
for PC now has separate versions for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
NOTE: Due to changes in Skype™ for Mac, the drivers for LW2730/LW2930 SD+ Series are
no longer compatible with current versions of Skype™ for Mac. Unfortunately, this means we
can no longer support remote connections using Mac for these products.
To install USB driver for PC:
1. Determine whether your computer system type is 32-bit or 64-bit:
a. Press + E on the keyboard to open Windows Explorer.
b. Right-click Computer on the left-side panel in Windows Explorer.
c. Click Properties.
d. Under System, check the System type. The system type description will specify
whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2. Download the USB driver for PC from the Downloads tab (click here).
3. Double-click the .zip file to extract the contents.
4. Open the extracted folder and double-click dpinstX86 if you have a 32-bit system or
dpinstX64 for 64-bit. Follow the on-screen instructions to install.
Q: How do I setup remote viewing using Skype™?
A: See the Instruction Manual for setup instructions for PC. If you have followed the instructions
and still can't connect, check the following:
Have you installed USB drivers for the video monitor? See question above for details.
Is the video monitor connected to your computer using a USB cable? The monitor will
say USB PC CAMERA MODE on the screen when it is connected. The video monitor
must be connected via the USB cable to access the video over Skype.
Have you created a separate Skype account for the video monitor? You must create a
separate account for the video monitor so you can call it using your personal Skype
account.
Have you added your personal Skype account to the Contacts list for the video monitor's
Skype account?
Have you enabled the video monitor Skype account to auto-answer incoming calls? See
the instructions below for PC.
To enable Skype to auto-answer incoming calls (PC):
1. While logged into the video monitor Skype account, click on Tools>Options.
2. Click the Calls button ( ).
3. Select Only allow people in my Contact list to call me (recommended). This will
prevent the device from accepting Skype calls from anyone who is not in the contact list
for its account.
NOTE: You may also select Allow anyone to call me to allow anyone with a Skype
account to call the device and access your camera. This setting is not recommended. Only
one account may call the video monitor at the same time.
4. Click the Show advanced options button.
5. Select the Answer incoming calls automatically checkbox and the Start my video
automatically when I am in a call check box. Click Save.
Q: How do I pair cameras?
A: If you have purchased additional accessory cameras (model: LW2731AC1), you will need to
pair them to the video monitor. When pairing cameras, you can select the channel you would like
the cameras to be assigned to. You can also use the steps below to reassign your existing cameras
to different channels.
To pair an additional camera:
1. Place the new camera and video monitor within 1ft of each other.
2. Press on the video monitor.
3. From the Main Menu, press left and right to select Pairing and press the OK button.
4. Select a channel and press the OK button. The video monitor will indicate that you have
30 seconds to press the Pair button on the camera.
5. Connect the new camera to a power outlet, and then press the Pair button behind the
camera for one second. Once paired, the camera will be immediately displayed on-screen.
NOTE: If you do not press the Pair button on the camera during the 30 second pairing
window, unplug the camera and repeat steps 2~5 to try the pairing process again.
NOTE: If you pair a new camera to a channel that is already being used by an existing
camera, the new camera will be connected to that channel. The old camera will
automatically be disconnected.
NOTE: If the speaker begins squealing, move the camera and video monitor away from
each other.
Q: The screen on my video monitor is blank. What do I do?
A: The video monitor screen goes blank when AV mode is activated. AV mode allows you to
connect the video monitor to a TV using the included AV cable. To deactivate AV mode, press
the AV button on the rear panel of the video monitor.

the primary camera.

video calls.
Q: How do I change the camera that is shown through
Skype™?
A: Viewing through Skype does not allow you to change channels remotely; however, you
can change the channel that is shown on Skype manually by using the video monitor.
To change the channel that is shown on Skype:
With the video monitor connected to the computer using a USB cable, press UP/DOWN
on the video monitor to change the channel number. The camera number changes from
"CAM 1" to "CAM 2".
