BM08 Keeps Turning Off, Will Not Turn On, or Is Not Receiving Power

If your BM08 won't turn on, keeps turning off, or doesn't appear to receive power, check the power connection before troubleshooting the App or Wi-Fi.

Possible Causes

  • The BM08 is not plugged in or powered on.
  • The power connection is unstable.
  • The camera unexpectedly loses power during use.

What to Do

  • Check that your Smart Contact-Free Baby Monitor is plugged in and powered on.
  • Confirm that the power connection is stable.
  • Restart the BM08 and then relaunch the Momcozy App.
  • If the issue continues, restart your router before trying again, especially if the camera also appears offline in the App.
  • If the BM08 still will not turn on or continues turning off after completing these checks, contact Momcozy Support for further assistance.

If you contact support, be prepared to provide your phone model, operating system, Momcozy App version, country/region, and screenshots or screen recordings that show the issue.

How to View BM08 From the App on Your Phone

Once your BM08 has been successfully paired with the Momcozy App, you can use your phone to monitor your baby, check live video, receive alerts, and review available monitoring information.

After pairing, confirm that the baby monitor is connected to your Wi-Fi. Check whether the live view appears in the app. You should be able to see what the camera sees through your phone. Also, check if alerts and monitoring features are available.

With the Momcozy App, you can:

  • View the live view from your BM08 camera.
  • Receive supported alerts and notifications when they are enabled.
  • Review available monitoring information, including breathing dynamics and heart dynamics, for everyday reference.
  • Check in on your baby remotely using your phone after the camera has been successfully connected.

If you cannot access the live view or monitoring information, first make sure you are logged in to your Momcozy account, the App is updated to the latest version, and the BM08 is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Then continue with the troubleshooting steps below if the issue persists.

For additional guidance on connecting your camera and using your phone for monitoring, see the baby monitor App and phone connection guide.

To learn more about BM08's App experience, privacy, sharing options, and contact-free monitoring capabilities, visit the contact-free baby monitor features page.

How to Share BM08 Camera Access With a Family Member

The BM08 allows parents and caregivers to stay connected by sharing camera access through the Momcozy App. This makes it easier for trusted family members to check live views and stay informed while helping care for your baby.

Partner or Caregiver Access

If another parent or caregiver needs access, use the sharing feature available in the Momcozy App rather than sharing your account password. This helps protect your account and allows each user to access the camera through their own App login when supported.

Primary and Guest Permissions

Depending on the current App version, camera owners may have different permission levels than invited users. Available permissions and account roles can vary, so always follow the options shown in your version of the Momcozy App.

Invitation Acceptance

After camera access is shared, the invited caregiver may need to accept the invitation before the camera appears in their App. If the invitation cannot be accepted, make sure both users are signed in, using the latest version of the Momcozy App, and connected to a stable internet connection.

Removing Shared Access

If a caregiver no longer needs access, remove the shared camera permission from the Momcozy App to help keep your monitoring account secure. The exact steps may vary depending on your App version.

Privacy

BM08 uses encrypted data transmission to help protect your monitoring information. For the best security, share camera access only with trusted caregivers and avoid sharing your account password.

To learn more about connected monitoring and privacy, visit the contact-free baby monitor features page. You can also read the secure baby monitor guide for additional information about protecting your monitoring setup.

Can Two Phones Connect to the Same BM08 Camera?

Yes. BM08 is designed to work with the Momcozy App, allowing parents and caregivers to access the camera from their mobile devices after it has been successfully paired.

If another caregiver needs access, use the camera-sharing features available in the Momcozy App rather than sharing your account password. The available sharing options, account permissions, and supported features may vary depending on your App version and account configuration.

If you're replacing your phone, install the latest version of the Momcozy App on the new device and sign in to your Momcozy account before following the in-app instructions to access your BM08 camera. If the camera does not appear, check your internet connection, update the App if needed, and contact Momcozy Support if the issue continues.

For more information about connecting your monitor to a mobile device, see the baby monitor App and phone connection guide.

Troubleshooting: App, Pairing, wi-fi, Setup & Monitoring Issues

Below are the issues that users have encountered and how to solve them.

How to Check App and Firmware Updates

Possible Causes

If you are not being notified about app or firmware updates, it could be because:

  • The auto-update setting is on so they update before you can notice that an update is available.
  • The auto-update setting is off and you have notifications for updates off.

What to Do

If you want to know if there are apps or firmware updates, you need to check them manually.

You can check the App Store or Google Play to see if there is a Momcozy app update.

  1. Open the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Search for Momcozy and open the app page.
  3. Tap Update if available.
  4. Relaunch the app to refresh it.

If you are looking for a firmware update instead, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Momcozy App and go to the BM08 device page. Open Device Settings/Device Information/something similar.
  2. Look for Firmware Update or Device Update and select it.
  3. Do not turn the baby monitor off and keep it connected to stable wi-fi during the update.
  4. Also, do not unplug the camera while the firmware is updating.

Please note that the app versions may have different menu names and wordings. But the steps are relatively the same. Follow the in-app instructions if the wording looks different.

How to Pair BM08 with the Momcozy App

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to pair your Smart Contact-Free Baby Monitor with your Momcozy App.

Step 1. Download and Login

You need to download the Momcozy app on your smartphone in order to use it. Also, you need to have an account.

  1. Open the App Store if you are using an iPhone or Google Play if you are using an Android device.
  2. Search for Momcozy and download the app.
  3. Create an account and login. You will need to select your local region. Please note that if China was chosen, BM08 will not appear in the Device List.

Step 2. Add BM08 to the Device List

Ensure your Momcozy Contact- Free Baby Monitor is on when you are adding it to the device list. Otherwise, it will not pair.

  1. Open the Momcozy App.
  2. Tap Add Device and select BM08 under the baby monitor category.

Step 3: Connect to wi-fi

The Smart Contact-Free Baby Monitor supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz wi-fi. So it is compatible with modern setups. To connect the baby monitor to the wi-fi, follow these steps:

  1. Follow the instructions written in the Momcozy app.
  2. Enter the wi-fi password carefully.
  3. The app will connect the baby monitor to the wi-fi. Keep the app open while this is in progress.

Step 4: Confirm Connection

Confirm that the baby monitor is actually connected to your wi-fi. Check whether the live view appears in the app. You should be able to see what the camera sees through your phone. Also, check if alerts and monitoring features are available.

BM08 Does Not Appear in the App Device List

Possible Causes

If BM08 does not appear in the app, it might be because:

  • The Momcozy app is not in the latest version. As such, the newest device models are not yet registered and are not showing.
  • The Momcozy app or your phone is misbehaving.

What to Do

  1. Update the Momcozy app and then check if BM08 will show.
  2. If it still does not, close the app and relaunch it. Logging out of your account and then logging back in may also help.
  3. Furthermore, check under the "Baby Monitor" or related device categories. These focused lists will filter the devices, which will make it easier to search.
  4. If the device is still not showing, restart your device.
  5. If that does not solve the problem, uninstall the Momcozy app and then reinstall it.
  6. If none of the presented solutions worked, contact customer support. Provide them with the app version, phone model, OS version, country/region, and screenshot of the device list. They will look into it and help you solve the problem.

BM08 Won't Pair with the App

Possible Causes

If pairing your Contact-Free Smart Baby Monitor with the app fails, here are the possible reasons.:

  • It could be that your baby monitor is off
  • The app is outdated
  • The wi-fi password is incorrect
  • The distance between your phone, camera, and router may also be too big
  • Blocked permissions, unstable network, and interruptions during pairing.

What to Do

  1. First, check if your baby monitor is powered on.
  2. Move the baby monitor close to the router and your phone close to it.
  3. Re-enter the wi-fi password and keep the app open while it is connecting. Be careful when entering the password. Make sure that it is correct.
  4. If nothing happens, restart your baby monitor or your router or both of them. You can also check for firmware updates and install them if they are available. Then, try again.
  5. If the problem persists, record your screen and send it to customer support.

Please note that you don't need to use Bluetooth for pairing. Enable it only if the app asks for Bluetooth permission.

Wi-fi Pairing Failed

Possible Causes

Suppose you often encounter problems with pairing your baby monitor with your wi-fi. It is likely due to:

  • A weak wi-fi signal
  • The baby monitor is too far from the router

The Momcozy Contact-Free Smart Baby Monitor needs stable wi-fi not only during setup, but also during daily use. Weak wi-fi may affect live view loading, alert delivery, and monitoring data updates.

What to Do

  1. Move your baby monitor close to your router.
  2. Ensure your phone and baby monitor are on the same private network. Avoid public, hotel, office, or guest wi-fi networks. Connection to these networks is unstable and not secure.
  3. Re-enter wi-fi password to start a new pairing attempt.
  4. If nothing happens, restart your router before trying again. Also, some routers separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz, while some combine both bands. Try separating the two bands if they are combined, and try with the 2.4GHz first.
  5. If you are using a VPN, try turning it off temporarily while the devices are pairing.

Once the baby monitor has successfully paired with the wi-fi, check the camera location. It should be near the crib to watch over your baby, but that area should also have a stable wi-fi coverage. It will help prevent disconnection issues.

BM08 Camera Is Offline or Keeps Disconnecting

Possible Causes

Your baby monitor keeps going offline, likely because of:

  • Weak wi-fi signals
  • The router may be too far away
  • There's weak coverage in the crib area
  • There might be thick walls, metal objects, or bulky furniture between the baby monitor and your router. These make Wi- Fi signals weaker
  • A lot of devices are connected to a single network, which slows down the internet speed
  • Unstable power connection
  • Outdated apps and firmware versions

What to Do

  1. In order to fix this, the first thing to do is to check the power connection. The device should be properly plugged so that it does not turn off randomly.
  2. Check the wi-fi strength. Start with the area around the crib. Check if there's a stable connection using your phone. If it is fluctuating, consider moving the camera closer to where the router is.
  3. You may also need to move the router. Be mindful of thick walls and other obstructions when doing this. There should be as few things in between the baby monitor and the router as possible.
  4. You may also need to restart the router and the baby monitor, as well as relaunch the app.
  5. Updating the app and the firmware along the way will also help.
  6. After doing all these, you may need to re-pair the Momcozy Contact-Free Baby Monitor with the wi-fi and the app. That should help you solve the problem.

How to Position BM08 for More Reliable Monitoring

Follow these steps to set up the Momcozy Contact-Free Smart Baby Monitor.

Step 1. Set up the stand

  1. Connect the stand poles and securely attach them to the base by tightening the screws.
  2. Attach the camera to the top of the pole.
  3. Adjust the stand height to the desired height.

Step 2. Find the correct angle

  1. We recommend installing a mounting bracket on either the left or right side of the crib.
  2. Place the camera. Ensure that the view is not obstructed by blankets, toys, mosquito nets, or other items.
  3. The baby should be completely in the middle of the frame. Ensure that you can see their full face and body.
  4. Position the camera at a vertical height of 0.5 to 1.2 meters relative to the baby. It ensures the camera and the power cord are out of the baby's reach.
  5. Put a fence on the right or left side of the crib to improve safety.

Always recheck the camera angle whenever you move the crib, the stand, or the camera itself. Adjust it if needed.

BM08 Sound or Two-Way Audio Is Not Working

Camera Sound Is Not Working

If you cannot hear sound from the camera:

  • Make sure audio is enabled in the live view.
  • Check your phone's volume.
  • Confirm the camera has a stable Wi-Fi connection.
  • Restart the Momcozy App and reconnect to the camera.
  • If audio is still unavailable, restart the camera and try again.

Two-Way Audio Has No Sound, Echo, or Delay

Possible Causes

If you could either hear nothing or hear echoes or delays when using the two-way audio feature, it could be because of:

  • Misconfigured settings
  • A weak internet connection.

What to Do

  1. To resolve this problem, first check your phone's volume. You may not be hearing anything because it is set to zero or way too low.
  2. Next, go to your device's app management settings.
  3. Select Momcozy and edit its permissions. Ensure that it has access to your device's microphone.
  4. Then, restart the app and go to Live View.
  5. Turn the audio on and check if there's sound now and no delays or echoes.
  6. Test it again in the same room to be sure that the problem is now fixed. If there's still a problem and the wi-fi signal is weak, move the baby monitor closer to the router.

Live View, Video Quality, or Night Vision Is Not Working

Possible Causes

Sometimes, you will not be able to see anything on the live view, or it could just keep loading. If you see something, it may occasionally freeze. Reasons why these happen include:

  • The wi-fi signal is weak
  • The baby monitor is turned off.

What to Do

  1. Check the baby monitor to ensure it is on.
  2. Check the signal strength from where the baby monitor is located. If it is weak, move it closer to the router.
  3. Check the internet connection on your phone. Go near the router if it is also weak. Alternatively, consider switching between wi-fi and cellular data to see which has a stronger signal.
  4. Relaunch the app and see if the issue is solved. If not, restart the baby monitor and then the router if that still does not solve the issue.
  5. Forget the BM08 in the Momcozy app and re-pair if the live view is still missing, freezing, or stuck in loading.

Night Vision or Video Quality Is Blurry, Grainy, or Too Dark

Possible Causes

The Momcozy Contact-Free Smart Baby Monitor features 2k video and night vision. So, if the video clarity is bad:

  • There is probably something in the lens. It might be moisture, or it could be facing direct light.

What to Do

  1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the camera lens
  2. Then, check if it is exposed to direct light, be it sunlight or artificial light. If so, reposition the camera while ensuring it's still at the optimal height and angle.
  3. When moving the camera, choose a spot with stronger wi-fi.
  4. Restart the Momcozy app and check the live view again to see if the video quality has improved.

Alerts, Temperature, or Monitoring Information Is Missing

Breathing Dynamics or Heart Dynamics Information Is Missing or Inaccurate

Possible Causes

If breathing or heart rate data is missing or inaccurate, it is probably because of:

  • A positioning mistake. If the baby is not fully visible, the baby monitor will not be able to track the breathing or heart rate effectively.
  • Lighting or environment also causes interference, which may affect the readings.

What to Do

  1. To troubleshoot, start by recentering the baby in the camera view. Move them and the camera height and angle if needed. Make sure that their face and body are fully visible.
  2. Remove all items blocking the camera's view. Also, avoid placing strong light facing the camera.
  3. Next, make sure that the baby monitor has a stable wi-fi signal.
  4. Restart the Momcozy app and allow the baby monitor to collect data again.
  5. Check if breathing and heart trend stats are now available. If they are still not there, contact support with screenshots and a camera placement photo.

Please note that the Momcozy Contact-Free Smart Baby Monitor is not a medical device. Monitoring results are for reference only. Sleeping position, clothing, blankets, camera angle, or environmental interference may affect them.

Face-Cover Alerts Are Missing or Seem Incorrect

Possible Causes

If face-cover alerts are missing or seem incorrect, there is a visibility problem.

  • The baby's face may not be clearly visible. Perhaps that is because it is outside the optimal detection area or there are things blocking the camera's view.
  • The camera may also be too high, too low, or off-center.
  • Please note that lighting changes also affect detection.

What to Do

  1. Recenter the baby in the frame to troubleshoot. Ensure their face is fully visible.
  2. Adjust the camera angle to the recommended height and angle and remove obstructions. Avoid placing the camera behind crib bars or thick mesh, since that will lead to incorrect alerts.
  3. Check the wi-fi connection to ensure it is not unstable. Then, try again.

Face-cover alerts are based on probability models and may have occasional false positives or misses. Thus, it does not replace adult supervision completely. You should still check your baby from time to time to ensure that nothing is wrong.

Alerts or Notifications Are Not Working

Possible Causes

If you are not receiving alerts, it could be because:

  • Alerts are not enabled
  • The wi-fi signal is weak

What to Do

  1. Check the Momcozy app and your device's settings to enable them.
  2. Open the Momcozy app and go to BM08's alert settings. You will see a list of alerts with a toggle on each.
  3. Enable the ones that you want to receive.
  4. Go to your device's settings and ensure the Momcozy app has permission to send you notifications.
  5. Turn off Do Not Disturb or Focused Mode because they stop alerts.
  6. Make sure that the baby monitor has a stable wi-fi connection since disconnection will also make you miss some alerts.
  7. Also, remove anything that's blocking the camera view.
  8. Restart your baby monitor and try again. Check if you will be receiving notifications.

What Should I Do If I Receive an Abnormal Alert?

If you receive an abnormal alert, check your baby's actual condition to see if any immediate action is needed. Do not rely solely on the baby monitor's readings when it comes to your baby's safety. It is designed to support daily monitoring and not to replace adult supervision or medical judgment. It can't diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure medical conditions. Consult your doctor as soon as possible if your baby shows concerning symptoms.

Setting up and troubleshooting your BM08 starts with checking the basics: power, Wi-Fi connection, App access, camera placement, and device settings. Follow the recommended steps in this guide before trying additional fixes.

If your BM08 is still not working as expected after completing the troubleshooting steps, contact Momcozy Support with your order details, device information, App and firmware versions, screenshots, and any relevant photos or recordings. Providing these details helps the support team identify the issue and provide the right next step.
