When adding a second camera, can you hear the audio from both cameras at the same time? Like, if we used this for a second baby's room, we would need to be able to monitor the sound from both rooms at all times without having to switch back and forth....

The camera will scan from room to room every 10 seconds in its own, when u set it on SCAN. You will see and hear each room. It is wonderful!

You will hear the sound for whichever camera you are viewing. there is a "scan" option and it will automatically flip through the cameras you have set up, and the sound will rotate as well. You can NOT listen to one camera and view the a different one. But the scan feature works well for watching and hearing kids in different rooms, no one will be crying for more than a minute if not seconds before you hear them.

Great IDEA for a feature, but as far as I'm aware, the "baby unit" is always in the communication loop. However, as I think about this, it might be possible to lower the volume on the baby unit to the point it can't be heard in the nursery so the parents COULD talk on the other 2 units. It's late tonight, but I'll check this theory out for you sometime tomorrow & re-edit this answer so we'll know for sure. ***stay tuned*** ----------- Update 7/23/13: Checked for you this morning & unfortunately, the "baby" unit's LOWEST volume level is still audible. So, no, you can't communicate between the two "parent" units without the "baby" unit broadcasting the sound. Even though you can talk to one another, "baby" can always hear. Hope that helped you!

Yes! I sleep downstairs with both my boys in separate rooms and just put the monitor on the camera switch setting and it will rotate to each room automatically on the handheld monitor and it will just switch to whatever sound is going on in each of my boys bedrooms. Very easy and best monitor ive owned and ive owned three until this one. So happy with it and you can have many cameras hooked up at one time. You wont be unhappy. Its wonderful!

That shouldn't be a problem. I have had two mics attached to a single camera and it worked fine. Adding a music source is just another input and shouldn't be any different that a third mic.

I have a separate video monitor that connects to my phone. What I like about having it separate is that I'm not obsessively checking the video. If I hear a noise, I can pull up the video to see what's going on. Also, what's cool about these is that you can set sensitivity level so if your baby is a "loud sleeper" you can set it to lower sensitivity to only pick up when baby is actually crying rather than normal baby noises.

Yes you can. Then you have the choice to toggle between cameras on your monitor or you can have it "scan" back and forth between them both. We like ours. Good luck.

Yes. You can have up to 4 different cameras on one monitor. I have a camera in each of my boys' rooms, and i can set it to watch only one if the other isn't in bed, or have it it switch back and forth on an interval. You can also set it to sleep after a minute if the baby is quiet, and then come back on if they cry or cough or make noise.

Yes. The camera has a feature will it will shuffle between each camera every 5 or so seconds. You won't be able to hear 100% of the time what is going on in each room but it will rotate every few seconds for you to hear. The video feed also rotates at the same time.

No, you cannot. But the monitor will switch between cameras depending on where it detects noise. I use two cameras - one in each child's room - and if both happen to be crying at the same time, the screen will cycle between them - just depends on who's the loudest

I actually bought a great app called Foscam Surveillance Pro, it can do 2 way audio, you can pan and tilt from the app and yes it has a mode where you can see all of the cameras at the same time. Its not free as i paid 4.99 for the app but very well worth it. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/foscam-surveillance-pro/id373509500?mt=8

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

I haven't tried doing this, but if you attract one camera in front and one in back, you should be able to tap ( I believe it's the little green button on the side of the monitor). I also would use the camera with the antenna in front, so u should be able to check your front and back. ( FYI make sure both camera r turned on). Hopes this helps if not let me know I will be using my this weekend.Beth

We use 2 of the same monitors at night when both babies are sleeping. Ever since we've started doing this, we get annoying static interference once in a while from both monitors. I have one monitor set up on my night stand... if I move at all in the bed while I'm sleeping, it makes a loud, scary "CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSHHHHH" noise. In the middle of the night, this noise is terrifying. But to answer the question, you can use 2 at once on different channels. Just expect to have the poop scared out of you once in a while.

Yes, if you set it on the scan setting it will show (with audio) camera 1 for about 6 secs. Before automatically switching to camera 2 (we only have 2) for the same amount of time then it repeats. This is the setting we use overnight. I am very happy with this camera.

You can move the cable connection between the cameras. Only one may be connected at a time. The change of connections would be easy, just undo the connector to camera 1 and move the connector to camera 2. I assume that you would have both cables next where the monitor is.

No. The monitor is scanning between the 2-4 cameras. There is no way to show all cameras at the same time. So, since the sound is associated with the camera...the answer to your question is no. That being said, the scanning is pretty frequent (about every 10 sec) and we have never had a problem missing anything.
