I have a 2006 summer infant monitor and wondering if I got another camera and set it on a different channel would I be able to switch back and forth?

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.

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

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.

No, you can switch between each camera. Or you can put it on scan mode, which cycles between cameras I believe every 10 seconds or so

Yes you have plenty of choices in compatible cameras. Yes you can use split screen and monitOr all your cameras at once.

Supposed to .. however, foscam doesn't offer additional cameras. You have to buy another set of camera and monitor.. Then you can use on monitor for both cameras or one camera per monitor .. I tried, but you can't have both monitors on both cameras .. as soon as you try to sync the second monitor, it knocks out the first >>>I feel, that with the information given to me in the details of this Item that you should be able to buy additional cameras .. but you can't ... They need to tell you that before you purchase .. because it says that it will work up to four cameras .. Im sure it would if you could get four cameras without having to buy the monitor also.. just saying !! Supposed to .. however, foscam doesn't offer additional cameras.

Yes, Another camera is available and the system is set up for 2 cameras You can have a split scree showing both cameras if you like but only one camera will record at one time . I think but don't remember the instructions.It should be ok because both cameras would not be activating if separated.

We tried... not possible to link up a second monitor to one camera (though you can link up a second camera to an individual monitor). However, we did get a second charger for our monitor (which is portable). We just dock the monitor either upstairs or downstairs, depending on where we are.

Just called Summer Infant customer service and the woman I spoke with did not think they would work together. She said that each camera monitor pair model were specific to each other. Hope this helps!

No, but you can easily use the remote that comes with it to switch cameras. Also note that these cameras are all for the back. They have a similar system with actual side mounted cameras. I made the mistake of buying this one, but their service was excellent and they sent me what I needed. Great company.

I would contact customer Support @ 800 323 9005 7-5pm central time. I was told they aren't compatible to use different cameras. Unless you know something I don't. Good luck!

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 only have one camera currently, but within two weeks I should have a second one set up. The only way I could imagine having both video displays on one monitor is to open up two internet/safari windows to Samsung's SmartCam website, accessing the different cameras from the two windows respectively, and arranging the internet windows side-by-side. Once I receive my second camera, I will test this out.

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.

the cameras come with a designation such as channel 1,2,3, or 4. These are set and cannot be changed. For example, if a camera comes designated to use channel 3, it must always use channel 3. However, the receiver will allow the connection of up to 4 cameras each on their own channel. This allows up to four cameras to be powered on at one time with no interference between themselves. To change between the cameras, simply select the corresponding channel button on the side of the receiver. If you had more than one camera that had the same channel designation then you could simply turn off the power to the ones that you did not want to see and leave only the desired camera powered on. Power off the cameras you don't want to see and only use one at a time powered on at a time.

The second video input can be used for any video feed you have (Another camera, DVD player, etc.). Most dual input monitors use #2 for the backup camera which will display automatically when shifted into reverse, then return to display input #1 when shifted out.

No, you can't for this one....we had this monitor for our first child and we loved it. The battery life is great and the picture is quite good. We had to purchase a new one that can accommodate two cameras.
