If you purchase a second camera, does this monitor scan between each camera with video and audio like the other monitors on the market? My monitor that just recently broke, would allow you to put it on a scan option and it would go back and forth every...

I recently purchased this camera, and yes, you can program the monitor to scan between each camera. For instance, I have 2 cameras, and I programmed the monitor to go back and forth between cameras. So I can view camera one for 12 or so seconds, and then it automatically goes to camera 2 for 12 or so seconds, and so on. Or I can program the monitor to be static so it views just one camera, and I can manually switch between cameras by pressing the up and down arrows. In regards to viewing both cameras on the screen at the same time, like a split screen: yes that's possible also. The only caveat here is that the Ovia gives you an option to either view one screen entirely or a four-split screen, not a two-split screen. The four-split screen is pretty small, but still works. I wish they'd have an option for a two-split screen. Hope this helps!

The only way I see this happening is if you have two monitors. If you only have the one monitor like me, You can switch from camera to camera in just seconds like i do. But i dont see it happening with the one monitor. I think this is the best camera system that they have to offer, because ive had nothing but problems with there other ones in the past. I also thought about buying another monitor.

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

Probably the company can answer that better. 1-800-268-6237. But it appears that it cannot monitor from 2 different rooms, but from whatever angle you have it pointed at in one room. It doesn't have extra "ports", though there may be a gadget that could make that possible. However I'm not sure you can buy a second camera separately to be used with one monitor. You may need a more sophisticated system, which would could cost much more.

If it is just a 1 camera then it would not go back and forth from screen to screen - as there should only be 1 screen (1 camera). I would suggest trying to disconnect and then re-connect the camera and monitor, and see if that resets it and fixes the problem. If that doesn't correct your problem, contact support at svat.com.

In the options menu of the monitor there is a place to select how many you have. Once selected it will go into pairing mode for the second camera.

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.

I don't think this unit cycles between cameras. You have to manually select which camera you want to view.

You can only hear one room at a time, even in dual view mode. When you scan, if you only have 2 cameras set up, it only scans between the 2. That's how ours is set up.

No, but if one kid/baby is crying, screaming, etc, that camera automatically comes up. Mine scans between 3 cameras, and its on all night, I've never missed a crying kid even when 2 are crying at 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

Does it have a RCA input? there is nothing that makes cameras compatible or incompatible, If you are in the correct region and the monitor has then input then you just plug it in. It like asking if a certain dvd players is compatible with your TV.

This is a pretty bare bones communication system for the lil ones. If you have two cameras then the "Mother" unit will hear sound from whichever camera you have selected. There also is a scan feature that will go from camera to camera if you own more then the one it comes with. Good Luck...It i hard to find a good Baby Monitor (or any low price electronics, for that matter) since they are all imported from child labor camps in China an other countries that hate this one. If I could've found something made in the USA, I most likely wouldn't have gone through three before I found one that served it's purpose.

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!

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.

You can use up to 4 additional cameras, BUT, the monitor does not feature a SCAN feature like other baby monitors do. You have to manually select which camera you want to observe. I purchased 2 monitor sets and was forced to return them because of the lack of this key feature.

I do not use the monitor with multiple cameras attached, but according to the user's manual (page 13 & 14) when you add extra cameras and select the scan mode, it will loop between the cameras every ten seconds.
