Will this monitor work if I am in the basement and the baby is on the top level (of a 2-story house)?

It has worked for me in a 1930's home with 2 layers of cement board plaster, and one layer of drywall (with baby on the 2nd floor and me in the basement). In addition, I know my monitor works outside of her room up to 3 blocks away. If I go any further than that, it beeps to let you know. But the range is definitely great within our old house, with multiple layers of drywall, 2 baby monitors, and Wi-Fi. No interference.

I'm in Texas- we don't have basements. :) But we do have brick homes and our baby's room is on the 2nd story on the front side of the house and our monitor works at the neighbors house and in their backyard.

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

Yes, it will work. We live in a small two-story home as well and the reception is great everywhere in the house - including from our baby's room upstairs all the way down to the basement.

Might work if you can place it near an outer wall or near a window. A basement might not allow for very good reception.

I would expect it to if the monitor has an SVGA input and the monitor is capable of 720TVL. We are using a higher resolution than that with it.

Absolutely. We used it to monitor my Mom's hospital bed. Dad's was right next to hers and it only alarmed when she got up. My Mom is deceased do now we use it for exactly the application you asked about. We keep it on a bar by the front door. It alarms if Dad crosses it to the door, but not while the rest of us walk around the room. Just direct the beam to the area you need as though there is a string from the device to a point across the room. This thing is very much worth the money!

As long as the monitor connection works. There are a couple of different ones. Not all work

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

We use sunshine apps baby monitor hd and it works well. There is a slight transmission delay most times of about 2 or 3 seconds, but it is not an issue for us!

I guess that depends on how far apart they are and what is in the walls, etc. The monitor here is in a separate garage apartment and the receiver is at the opposite end of our house. They are at least 100 feet apart. The system has worked great for us.

Don't use it for monitoring. I wouldn't use it for that. Baby monitor would be better

No! We have trouble with 15 feet in our home. I would not recommend this monitor.

It will work if you add a door sensor and possibly a motion dtector on the upper level.

No, but it would work perfectly fine other than not having audio. So if you just want to view, it would work. Most baby monitors would be wireless and let you carry around something that has audio / video. With this system, you'd have to wire the camera to the room, only have video, but can watch the video on a mobile device.

It will only work if you have an RCA type connection or an adapter of some sort, most monitors have these, but few computers do

We had the baby unit in my 86 year old mom's house which was right across the street from our house.We had two monitors and it worked beautifully. She would just need to talk to me and I could go to the monitor and push the button to answer her.
