Can you turn off the sensor and just use this as a sound monitor once baby is older?

Absolutely! I read reviews of people that did that. Once you remove the sensor pad and disconnect it from the nursery unit, it will just be a regular sound monitor. I did not keep it just for sound because I already had one just for sound. I was hoping to have something that helped me with peace of mind ...

Yep, that's how we currently use it now that our child is older. We just disabled the movement option in the parental unit and unplugged the sensor pad.

You cannot turn this device off remotely. And it is not capable of differentiating between your motion and motion you want it to alert you to. I say, "Tiny, be quiet!" and walk over and tap the top which silences the unit for a couple minutes. An alternative would be to find a way to put a sheet of glass between you and the device - my unit doesn't seem to sense through glass - but then anything else on the other side of the glass would not be sensed either.

No way to turn it off that I know of. It is probably a good safety feature.

No, the alarm is purely motioned sensored. It resets itself every time baby breathes and only goes off if it doesn't detect that movement.

Don't use it for monitoring. I wouldn't use it for that. Baby monitor would be better

There is no sensor, it is on until you turn it off. I usually let mine run al the time.

I'm not sure that you can. But, since the handheld unit serves no purpose if the parent unit is off - you just need to turn it off anytime the parent unit is off.

We leave ours connected all of the time, so probably the answer is yes. I love these monitors they are so awesome to check on all of the sleeping kiddos in seconds... gives a clear picture, and will include sound if the audio is turned on your mobile device. Love them!

Yes, you disable the sensor totally and just use it manually by tapping it on or off.

Yes, the motion sensor can be deactivated. You must use the remote device to make the selection from the menu. The menus can be a bit tricky, so do it slowly and carefully.

You can when you are using manual activation and no when you are using motion sensor,but, you really dont need to. At least we have not. We just love it!

There is no off/on switch on the sensors but if she got creative she could trick the sensor with a magnet but you could use a motion sensor in the area of the exit and let her know that area is out of bounds or the alarm with go off.There are ways to make the system redundant.

Yes. My twins have slept on their tummies and the sensor never left contact with their skin. You don't have to worry about it coming off and you not knowing, because if it loses contact with their stomach the alarm will sound. That only happened once to us while one of my babies was on his side. I highly recommend these monitors. I've been using over a month now for my preemie twins and have not had one problem!

Not to my knowledge. Interesting idea, though. The monitoring unit in baby room broadcasts to the receivers. The receivers probably will not broadcast without modifications.

From, my experience, no. The sensor requires a lot of light to shut off. Mine was on all the time.

From my experience, this will not be possible. If your child walks into the room with the TV connected to the SensorPlug it would turn it on. Only after a few minutes of inactivity would the TV go off. I would suggest a strip of paper that you child would learn not to cross. Just a suggestion.

No. you can not. but why you need that for. teasing;-). you do not want your baby associate your voice with a monitor. .
