Can I use this as an audio monitor? In other words, can I leave the app running on my phone without the screen on and still hear the audio?

Negative. Even with the app running the audio is poor. Hope this helps. As a side, the email alerts do not work properly. Even with a strong Wi Fi signal, I continue to get many false motion detected email alerts. Belkin even switched out all my cameras but still have the same problem.

Yes you can. I have done it. However, the audio isn't amazing, but for monitoring purposes, it works fine (no loud background noise). However, you will always have to have the video on at all times as well, no way to turn it off. If your device turns off, so will the monitoring. If you use it for any serious length of time (over night baby monitoring) your phone or tablet may heat up much more than is wanted.

Unfortunately not. You only hear audio from the room that is showing on the monitor display screen. I have this issue sometimes too. Hopefully Summer will eventually make a "split screen" monitoring system.

Yeah just hook it up with a monitor cable and it will display. Now if not you will need too change on the lap top the display and add a projector. Just know that going from a lap top that all audio will come from the computer. Unless you get a head phone too head phone cable.

It's a video cable for your monitor. So no it does not support audio. Even if your monitor has speakers, which I'd be surprised of those still exist, then probably no.

Honestly, I've never tried. I use it for a podcast, and we either are recording or listening to the recording. Would make sense if you were recording music. I don't think it does as we switch to monitor playback it cuts our mics. I'll have to play around with it.

Yes - the video is still visible. You can also turn the screen off and just listen to audio. This is a great baby monitor - I would buy it again. Addendum: we ended up buying another one of these monitors and after just a few months use neither unit works anymore. The product I bought on Amazon has no audio - we had to buy an audio monitor to substitute for the malfunctioning unit. The warranty process to return the defective unit is incredibly tidious and with significant delay. After spending more money to buy a audio monitor and paying for shipping this unit back to the manufacturer I no longer recommend this monitor - all in all its not worth the money or time

You can, but it depends on the monitor and you will also have an output for the audio.

The sound is great on the monitor. It's really efficient and a strong signal. I really like this monitor. Just like any ongoing app on your phone it will drain your battery but not any more than normal. What i do is use my tablet with the app running while it's plugged in. But if you're just having it on while baby sleeps it won't drain your battery much. It depends on your phone too but I've never had any issues.

This will not work without a monitor, I disconnected the monitor VGA from the unit & the audio did not work.

Yes you can. You'd use the headphone out as you "audio out" and it works just fine. I don't know what you mean by the low audio out signal. I have no issues.

Yes you can use this as a monitor. Just plug your source HDMI cable from the instruement you wish to provide the audio/video programming from into one of the multiple HDMI input plugs, then be sure to select the proper 'source' from the remote.

Yes, it does have a feature that allows the monitor screen to turn off while the audio stays on. If the audio level rises above a preset level then the monitor screen will come back on. So it really depends how loud the room is that your monitoring how effective this feature will be.

If you scroll through on screen setup. There is a spot to turn the sound on and off to the headphone jack. Good luck

I don't know why people are saying you can't because you absolutely can view this video/audio feed when away from home. All you have to do is download the app, plug in some settings, and you're good to go.

You can't display the clock &#128338; continuously, whatever input you're using will display on sound &#128266; bar. Only when sound bar is off will the clock display. And another thing for a better sound, use the movie mode, Much better sound. Hope i was of some help Jim
