When you use two cameras, can you hear audio from both?

Can anyone give an emphasized answer? I am looking at buying another camera as well and my wife and I were both wondering this. Based on Diana's answer, it seems that when it switches from one camera to the other using the scan feature (8 seconds or 8 minutes?), the audio switches. Can anyone confirm this?

No, unfortunately you cannot - that's why I ended up buying two sets of monitors!

You can get audio from both by using the scan setting. It scans between the cameras every 8 minutes. Thats when you can talk back also.

I don't understand the comments below. I have model #02000-02 and yes, you can hear the audio from either camera you choose. Or, if you have the monitor in "scan" mode, it switches cameras every 8 seconds and the audio switches with it. I've been using this model for a few years and love it.

If you use the scan feature, it scans every 8 SECONDS and you hear audio from the camera that is showing at that time. This is a great camera set to have.

You can output separately if you decide to left and right stereo and then edit it back together post recording. Otherwise no, there isn't really a way to do that.

The screen has two RCA inputs, which can be connected to any compatible source. You would have to toggle between the cameras, though, because it only displays one input at a time.

We have two cameras as well. The display will show both rooms on a split screen, but you must select which room to hear. To toggle between rooms is simple as pushing one button.

There is no audio to the cameras. You have to use a separate system for this. I have eight cameras set up in a 360° view of my 2 acre plot. You can use an iPhone to access a program associated with the system itself.

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

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

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.

If I have two cameras and one handheld monitor.. can I hear both babies in each separate room at the same time or do I have to switch between cameras to hear each room to know if one of the babies is crying?

I just found out it does. Once in the secret setting there is an option to record audio and video at the same time.

Hi TonyD. No, there is not. There is a mic on each camera. When you select a camera, you can hear what is going on in that vicinity. However, you cannot communicate, or speak, to the outside camera. In my opinion, you can hear better than you can see. Hope this helps. They are nice little systems for no more than they cost. I just find it very disappointing when the people selling merchandise won't stand behind it. Good luck.

You plug it straight into the camera and it will give you sound and video in the same file. If you record externally you will get two files

Good question! I was not sure if that would work, so I tested it. Yes, you can listen to two different devices at the same time. I plugged in my iPad and my computer and played a different video on each device. I did hear both devices.

Yes. The audio monitoring clicks off when you click into another application, but picture and audio continue to record.

The monitor cycles between both cameras about every 5 seconds. So you can only see the video and hear the audio of one room at time (there's no split screen), but it automatically switches back and forth between the two rooms. You can also set it to stay on one camera and/or manually switch between the cameras.

Yes. I use the camera input audio. Make sure you use a high gain microphone for best results. I'm using a Creative Sounds boom microphone.

You can hear audio in split mode, but just from the camera you have selected on the monitor.
