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 -- you can purchase additional cameras from Amazon. I purchased the system configuration that includes the Monitor and 2 cameras. I purchase one additional camera later from Amazon and am considering purchasing another camera.

This is a pretty bare bones communication system for the lil ones. If you have two cameras then the "Mother" unit will hear sound from whichever camera you have selected. There also is a scan feature that will go from camera to camera if you own more then the one it comes with. Good Luck...It i hard to find a good Baby Monitor (or any low price electronics, for that matter) since they are all imported from child labor camps in China an other countries that hate this one. If I could've found something made in the USA, I most likely wouldn't have gone through three before I found one that served it's purpose.

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.

I also consider this an important feature. I was decided to buy this camera, but when I was in the store checking whether I could zoom while in the motion picture mode and I discovered I could not do so, I gave up... It's a pitty because apart of that, the camera is nearly perfect for me...Ken Techbuyer, maybe you should have start recording instead of only selecting the motion picture mode? This camera has no zoom while recording movies.

I did not buy the 2 cameras to just work with the 1 device but I am pretty sure when I was setting it up that it showed you the ability to have the 2 screens (1 main and 1 mini) for both video. We got a little $30 camera that worked amazingly well. (was going to have the same set up in 2 locations and have not gotten around to it yet)

Yes it does. Make sure camera and monitor are powered on. Tap the monitor power button (top left button) once and a new screen will come up. When that screen comes up you will see a camera at the bottom. Using the arrow buttons and arrow once to the right to highlight the camera. More options then come up. Arrow up to the plus sign to add the new camera. Once it is added if you select the # sign you can specify the room you want the monitor to view. If you select the rotating cameras the monitor will scan all the cameras you have added. It will do so every 8 seconds. The screen will say scan on the too right corner of the screen when you are in scan mode. Hope this helps! You will love this feature.

No, the camera does not have zoom. Zooming in the app is not the same thing.

Model 28110 is the Baby Touch Boost parents monitor hand held unit. If you want to order additional cameras then you order Summer infant extra camera model number 28840. I own the product and this is per the instruction manual. Good luck. I just placed my order for a second camera (#28840) today. Each part has its own individual model number.

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.

1. I am not a photography specialist, but this is the easiest to use and most comprehensive camera I have ever used. I have yet to use the touch screen. All I have needed has been on the dial. I hope this helps. I really love this camera.

Nope. I have a bestview and it doesn't work w/ this monitor. I ended up buying a second camera to use w/ this monitor but we put it in the playroom and still use our old bestview in my older child's room.

Can anyone give an emphasized answer? I am looking at buying another camera as well and my wife and I were both wondering this. Based on Diana's answer, it seems that when it switches from one camera to the other using the scan feature (8 seconds or 8 minutes?), the audio switches. Can anyone confirm this?

jesSc hi, just received my baby monitor and to answer you're question its seems perty good for a baby monitor. its well worth it.

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.

Congratulations. I have 9 month old twin boys. I did the same thing: had them in the same crib at first. I used one camera then and when I separated them into their own cribs I ordered another camera on-line and used it with the same monitor. I have the Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" screen. You have to toggle between each camera to view each baby (I was bummed that you couldn't view them at the same time) but it works fine that way. Unless you have your cribs very close together, I would recommend two cameras so you can have them at a good enough distance to utilize the zoom feature. Otherwise, the view is too small and you can't check for their breathing (which I'm sure every mother does in a paranoid moment!) I have the cameras mounted on the wall and they can reach them sometimes but they mostly leave them alone. If they detach the power cord, it will just fall to the floor. It isn't long enough for them to bring into the crib. I mention that because I recently received notification of a strangulation risk from the power cords on these monitors. I saw the photo dramatizations and the cameras were set up on a surface close to the baby's crib. Anyway, that's a few months away for you so you have time to think about changing the placement if you have to. The cameras and monitor work great still. I am very satisfied with them. Have fun!!

You can add another camera but you can not see the second one on the iphone app! Just in the monitor!
