The monitor scans up to 4 cameras. It goes from one to the next as a loop. That includes the sound. You can also go from one to the other manually.

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.

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!

No, only the active cameras audio can be heard. Our current Motorola model also operates in the same manner.

If you have two to four cameras you can set the monitor to a scan setting and the monitor switches cameras about every 10 seconds, both visual and audio. If you have only two cameras it will scan all 4 channels and get no signal on 2 of them for the first few times and then only scan between the 2 working cameras.

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.

I believe that you can view all at the same time, but you can't get audio if you look at all cameras at once. Not sure though, I've never done this. You should email the sharx people at info@SharxSecurity.com. they are generally great at responding to questions!

How does it monitor 2 rooms simultaneously? Will it flip back and forth? What happens if child 2 cries while the monitor is showing child 1? Can you hear them both?

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!

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.

You can only hear the sound of the room that is on the monitor . We only have 2 cameras and if we are doing the split screen option , one side of the screen is highlighted a little to let you know that is the room the sound is on . But you can see both rooms at the same time . We have 3 boys , ages 9 months to 4 and we love this . We have had a few other dual monitors and this is the best by far .

You won't see both cameras on the same screen at the same time. The cameras will be labeled camera 1 and camera 2. You can have the monitors scan so it will change about every 10 seconds. That is what I do at night. Or you have the option of switching manually yourself. It's pretty cool, I love having one in each of the kids room :)

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.

Thank you for your question. Customer's have had success in placing two cameras in the same room. You will need to adjust the placement of the cameras, if you choose to do so. Remember to place the cameras at least 3' away from the Child.

Jason--did you ever find out the answer to your question regarding 2 cameras/1 monitor? I'd like an answer to that as it could be a deal maker or breaker.

Sorry you can't. What you can do, is see both cameras with the a shuffle of audio. I use the function all the time.

Not currently, the app only allows you to connect to 1 camera. It auto detects the camera when you open the app, so I don't know what it would do if it found multiple cameras. http://support.babyping.com/customer/portal/articles/687325-can-i-add-multiple-babyping-monitors-to-the-app-

You cannot hear both, you can only hear one camera or the other in split screen. That's why we choose to use the full screen toggle. You get audio and visual from one room at a time for about 5 seconds at a time. (But we use the cameras in separate rooms.)

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.

That shouldn't be a problem. I have had two mics attached to a single camera and it worked fine. Adding a music source is just another input and shouldn't be any different that a third mic.

Thank you for your question. You can only have 1 monitor synched to the 4 cameras. Additional monitors can not be added. We recommend adding additional cameras, not systems, as running more than 1 system may cause interference.
