If I use this for 2 kids, will the monitor automatically switch to the camera that senses noise, or will I have to switch channels manually?

You have to switch it manually and it is a few clicks to switch it, not just one.

As long as the monitor is on the multi camera mode it will pick up the noise from which ever room its coming from :)

Another camera of the same make and model? Yes. I did that. I bought two sets of cameras and monitors. One monitor for the bedroom and one for my home office for when I was doing homeworks or papers (full time online student at the time). I also set up two cameras, one was set to channel "A" and the other to channel "B", from both monitors I could easily switch between channels at any point in time without much hassle at all. I loved it.

You would have to wire a switch for the camera or the monitor otherwise they will both be on all of the time.

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.

It scans between cameras every 10 seconds, you can only hear the room that is currently displayed. You can also manually switch between rooms or set it not to scan if you have only 1 child sleeping

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.

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.

Thank you for your interest in Levana. There is a setting in the monitor that allows the change from one camera to the other automatic. PEEP mode will not function while in this "Sequence" mode, there would always be an image switching every 10-15 seconds along with the audio from that camera.

Yes, you just have to remember to turn the monitor off. I like the monitor that only detects movement because the off/on switch stays in the baby's room. It is easy to turn off if you forget (I nurses baby in her room). You can use a regular sound monitor with it (or my baby's room is close enough to our room I really don't use a sound monitor at all because I can hear the alarm without it). This monitor still amazes me. Best thing I have ever bought - gives me such peace of mind.

Yes. If you touch the power button the screen goes blank but audio remains on. You must press and hold the power button for the power to go all the way off.You didn't ask, but I will also say that you should keep the monitor out of reach of your kids. It isn't very durable. We've been using ours for 7 1/2 months and some of the controls are starting to fail.

The camera is not super sensitive at all when panning around the room. When you want to pan the camera you actually hold down the left/right or up-and-down buttons. We purchased this monitor for our first son who is now three years old and we still use it for him and I just bought another one for our new son who is three months old. Now and then the Parent monitor tells you that it's out of range and the screen goes black but only for a few seconds. I'm thinking that's because ours is a little older but it still works great.

The camera only does one at a time at the monitor. If you push a button on the monitor it switches to the other camera. My camera and monitor have to go back as they are not working and I just bought it in the fall last year. The video was pretty good, but was grainy at 30 to 40 percent of the time. The unit is solid as far as casing. Hope this helps.

No, it will not. You can set the monitor to rotate through the two rooms (or more, if needed), but it won't automatically go to the room with the crying kid.

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.

There's a little switch in the back if I recall correctly. You need the manual to identify it. I don't remember which one it was. However, you probably don't want to. The feature doesn't work very well. Any ambient noise in the room will activate it, making it practically useless except as a monitor, for which you don't need the switch.

We have both cameras in the same bedroom currently, but pretty sure that they both pick up audio. You'd have to keep the handheld device on "scan" which toggles back and forth every 8 seconds. Or you could do switch from A camera to B camera manually...but that would be a pain. Hope that helps!
