I have 2 babies, 2 separate bedrooms. If I purchase the 2 camera system, does it scan/display both rooms for sound/crying?

Yes, it will work in the way you described. When the monitor is on, you have the option to view one camera or automatically flip between both. In sleep mode, there is a sensitivity dial on each camera that can be adjusted for when you want to be alerted. I found it useful to turn the sensitivity dial all the way down because it is very sensitive to the slightest sound/movement. Play with it to find the best setting for you.

They flip between the 2...The second monitor buzzes like a phone and sometimes you can hear the crying if the baby is loud enough.

The monitor will not scan. The settings are either fixed on either camera of your choice, or set on auto shuffle between the cameras, whereby the monitor will switch between each camera every several seconds. We also have 2 babies in two rooms, and this is the setting we use.

Yea. I have 2 kids in 2 rooms with a camera in each room and one main monitor. Just have to program it in when u get it which it explains in the manual as "pairing".

I do not own this camera (yet) but from what I have gathered from other reviewers you can either view 1 or 4 cameras at the same time...meaning if you have 2-3 cameras, the image will be just as small as if there were 4 images. Or, you can toggle back and forth between one large image. I plan to use the camera primarily for my newborn (due in June) with the ability to "check in" on my toddler as needed.

After I did some searching of what I recently purchased, I can see now it is the baby monitor (I also just bought two in-ceiling home theater speakers, so...) I am guessing not. It would be like trying to pick up two radio stations on the same radio. One might override the other. It does have codes to match so you could just change the transmitters to different codes and you could tune the one receiver in to which one you want to hear. If you are trying to hear two babies in different rooms, I would definitely not count on one receiver doing the job.

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.

Provided you set up the color-coded frequency (very easy process) to do so, yes.I did too, for a time; however, it didn't really work all that well for me. I have 2 young children; a baby and a 5yr old who sleepwalks. If I heard a noise I didn't like that wasn't a voice, I had to check both rooms, possibly not getting where I was needed as quick as I'd like. Since you'll be getting 2 receivers anyway you might wanna give them different frequencies.

I have this monitor with twins in the same room but separate cribs and only need one camera, I set in on a dresser ACROSS THE ROOM from the cribs and it can pivot to view each crib. I'd say- Buy one and see how it works in your room. I have never used it to try and see if my kids are breathing, (you could drive yourself bonkers!) and for the love of all that is good- do not position the monitors on the wall where your kids can reach the wires!

It does not display both rooms at the same time, it scans back and forth between the 2 rooms. This can be done manually or automatically on scan mode.

I wanted to let you know that we bought the double set. It has two receivers and two bases so that you can with one receiver monitor two different rooms. We had one receiver downstairs in our den and the other in our bedroom. The monitors were placed in the infant room and toddler room. The way the dual monitor functions is by operating on two frequencies and it will switch back and forth and show different color lights so that you know which room is being monitored. You can turn one off completely too or only listen to it for 15 seconds before switching to the other one for say, 2 minutes in length. If you were thinking of purchasing a new one, you might want to just go ahead and purchase the dual one and sell the single one used.

It's same here, there is a background static, can be loud if there are other sounds. But audio quality is pretty good, camera detects and counts every sound made by baby.

You can us the "scan" feature, where it shows each screen for 15 seconds and switches back and forth (we usually do this overnight so we can hear both kids). Or you can set it to view one camera and manually switch back and forth.

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!

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

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 can run one Mic cable to one room for example, lets say you have a nursery you can run a mic to that room to listed to the baby. That sound can be heard via the phone but regardless of what camera you are using you are going to hear the baby room, make sense?

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.

Sadly no. You can make it automatically bounce back and forth between the cameras to hear from each room.

Yes it does. Make sure camera and monitor are powered on. Tap the monitor power button (top left button) once and a new screen will come up. When that screen comes up you will see a camera at the bottom. Using the arrow buttons and arrow once to the right to highlight the camera. More options then come up. Arrow up to the plus sign to add the new camera. Once it is added if you select the # sign you can specify the room you want the monitor to view. If you select the rotating cameras the monitor will scan all the cameras you have added. It will do so every 8 seconds. The screen will say scan on the too right corner of the screen when you are in scan mode. Hope this helps! You will love this feature.
