When viewing the screen with multiple cameras, when it detects motion on one of them does it pop that motion channel up to full screen ??

No it does not, there is an indicator that shows motion on that camera when in multiple view but does not change the view

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.

I believe it only has the 4-way split screen so even if your only using 2 cameras the 4-way screen still appears and 2 will be blank. You can choose either camera so the whole screen is one camera still but it wont rotate from one to the other like some others will do. I ended up returning this monitor because the picture was sooo bad i couldn't tell where my daughter was in her bed.

There is a single output. You can select between full screen on either camera, vertical split, or horizontal split to be displayed.

If you set up the cameras in quad view, you will be able to see all cameras at the same time. However, if you want to view each individual camera, you have to manually set it up to quad view again.

You have to switch back and forth between cameras. It doesn't have split screen where you can watch both and listen. Although switching between cameras is done by pushing one button and then it does switch between cameras on its own. There must be a timer or something. I hope that makes sense.

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.

Kristen, I believe it cannot continuously record multiple cameras, you select one for continuous recording. Multiple cameras are used in motion detection mode. Motion detection works well for me.Jim L.

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 monitor cycles between both cameras about every 5 seconds. So you can only see the video and hear the audio of one room at time (there's no split screen), but it automatically switches back and forth between the two rooms. You can also set it to stay on one camera and/or manually switch between the cameras.

Yes. the way it works is when you look at the monitor it has a split screen of all of the cameras, a small running man appears in the top corner indicating motion for that one camera. you can also set it so it only records during motion which saves space.

hi when you chose the motion detection , your camera will start recording as soon as there is a movement in front of the visual fields . and if you have two cameras (front and back) it will still work that way for both of them .

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 watch one camera. Push up or down once, till it stays on the camera you want. For two cameras, it shouldn't be on quad.

The unit provides "Quad" view, so you can monitor up to 4 cameras at the same time with single monitor however it does not record in quad view. You need to select auto mode and it will automatically switch from camera to camera and while in motion detect it will record any motion from any camera. So no, you do not need two monitors.

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.

The camera only does one at a time at the monitor. If you push a button on the monitor it switches to the other camera. My camera and monitor have to go back as they are not working and I just bought it in the fall last year. The video was pretty good, but was grainy at 30 to 40 percent of the time. The unit is solid as far as casing. Hope this helps.
