Does this have voice activation if the baby cries or does a button have to be pushed to turn on?

No it does not. You must push until you hear a click to turn it on, then subsequent light pushes change the mode.

Yes easy! Once you show him which button. My 18month knows how to turn it on and off.

You're supposed to push a button, however, the one I bought for my daughter goes off on its own and doesn't stop once it starts.

it has an automatic bark feature. You have to press the button on the remote to activate it. When we turned ours on it shocked the dog all the time even she was not barking so I sent this POS back.

According to manual, yes, you will need to press and hold several buttons (shutter, silly and delete) for 5 seconds or until speaker icon disappears. Personally I don't find the noise level to be obnoxiously loud on this toy!

Yes it makes a louder noise...for safety reasons. But if you hold the push button in and turned, then it doesn't really. I would only find this necessary to do though if I needed to be in stealth mode. My kids learned that the sound of the gate related to going up the stairs so they would come running. It was actually nice though since I had triplets and it was a great way to get their attention. I LOVE the gate, by the way.

I use the button as a signal to alert the person I want to talk to. They may not be close to their unit. I have not tried the voice activation.

It can do both. There is a timer button or you csn just use the power button and it will stay on. This is well worth the money. I got it for my daughter and as soon as my sister saw it she bought two. One for her son and one for her daycare children room. My sister-in-law just had a baby and they ended up getting one too.

The phone has real buttons to push. Including volume up and down, a mute button, a redial button , a speaker button, all the regular phone buttons and a larger button to push for viewing whatever the camera/ doorbell is aimed at. Hope this helps. It's a great product if you have enough light at the front door. Won't help much if it is dark by the door. Need to have a light on at night.

Hi Byron, It doesn't have a voice activated feature. It needs to be manually operated. - Jerome

You have to press the ear to activate the sound. Besides the singing there's sounds like galloping and whinning. By the way, we've had ours about 4 years and it still works great.

It does have a mute button. Unfortunately it is too easy to turn on as sometimes I accidentally mute myself.

yes in deed, I have one unit in my elderly mothers room and ran a long line to the main unit in my room, it stays on all the time. however, if I need to talk to her ,yes I need to press the button, the way I have it I can hear her without her having to press anything, I hear her tv on at night. good for safety reason, if she can not get up, she can tell me without trying to press a button. depending on your needs its great if you place the main unit (the one with volume control in the room where they can't hear you, but you can hear them. I have had mine for a very long time now. works as great as it did from day one. hope this helps.

The halo has a vibration feature that goes off at 15 seconds to stimulate the baby. If the baby does not take a breath, the audible alarm goes off. I personally wanted to be alerted anytime my baby had issues so I purchased the Go.

Hi, To my knowledge there is not a shut off button that you could use for bedtime. Depending on the age of the child this is highly unlikely to sound off in the middle of the nite. Youhave to be able to push the belly pretty hard to get Sully to talk. We bought this for our 2 year old son and he can't push it by himself.Overall, I really like this as a gift though.

Yes there is manual mode which plays continuously and cry mode which switches off after 15 mins but will turn on again if baby cries.
