Can two cameras be viewed simultaneously rather than switching between two?

no, it works as a single view or a switcher or a double monitor but with a single monitor no it do not

All u have to do is to switch on the second/additional camera then it will be added automatically to your monitor. Then, for viewing it, on the backside of the monitor u will find a switch that has 4 clicks (1 to 4), the first camera will be assigned automatically to number "1". The second one will be for number "2", just switch it to number "2" and then you will be able to view the additional installed Camera :-).Best Regards,Khalid Aljowder

You won't see both cameras on the same screen at the same time. The cameras will be labeled camera 1 and camera 2. You can have the monitors scan so it will change about every 10 seconds. That is what I do at night. Or you have the option of switching manually yourself. It's pretty cool, I love having one in each of the kids room :)

The cameras are configured individually. You can copy the settings between cameras however.

One thing to note is that both devices have to be logged into the same account. You can't have two people access the same camera if they are logged into different accounts.

You can hook 2 cameras but I don't think there is an easy way to switch. No buttons easily accessible. I only use one camera but am sure 1 probably has priority over the other.

You can set this monitor to sequence so it will switch between between the cameras and the auto of the current camera on screen will be heard.

Both cameras record at the same time. However, when you look at the monitor, it will swap views back and forth from each camera. So you will see one camera for a few seconds and then it will swap the view to the other. Hope this answers your question.

No! The cameras and the monitor are integrated wirelessly and do not allow a different monitor to be substituted or added.

No. each camera only able to synchronize with one monitor. Once you sync with another monitor the previous one will lose the signal of this particular camera. From my experience, it appears that each camera is only able to accept one monitor at a time.

Yes, this is possible provided the switch backplane has enough capacity to accommodate the simultaneous data rates of the connected cameras.

I only have one camera currently, but within two weeks I should have a second one set up. The only way I could imagine having both video displays on one monitor is to open up two internet/safari windows to Samsung's SmartCam website, accessing the different cameras from the two windows respectively, and arranging the internet windows side-by-side. Once I receive my second camera, I will test this out.

I recently purchased this camera, and yes, you can program the monitor to scan between each camera. For instance, I have 2 cameras, and I programmed the monitor to go back and forth between cameras. So I can view camera one for 12 or so seconds, and then it automatically goes to camera 2 for 12 or so seconds, and so on. Or I can program the monitor to be static so it views just one camera, and I can manually switch between cameras by pressing the up and down arrows. In regards to viewing both cameras on the screen at the same time, like a split screen: yes that's possible also. The only caveat here is that the Ovia gives you an option to either view one screen entirely or a four-split screen, not a two-split screen. The four-split screen is pretty small, but still works. I wish they'd have an option for a two-split screen. Hope this helps!

You can change the image to be seen either way. This is a great system. My only regret is that I only bought 1 camera. 2 would have been great. I use the one to hook up to a trailer hitch and watch part of my load. If I had purchase 2 and the multiplexer splitter, I could have been able to watch the whole load and traffic as well. These cameras have audio as well so you can hear behind you.

It has both cameras on it but you switch screens to see each camera. So only can look at one room at a time. I do not recommend purchasing.

No, it will display both cameras but it will be picture in picture of one camera in the corner of the other. As far as I know, it will not do an actual even split of both cameras. Also keep in mind that the quality is almost cut in half when you use two cameras. I really like this unit and I own several I use only one hi resolution camera I'm mine. It's very good quality for my needs.

I haven't seen that capability, as far as I can tell if one camera is recording the other is idle.
