Does anyone know if you can reuse older cameras (e.g. BEST VIEW HANDHELD COLOR).with this monitor?

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.

No you can not! I had to figure this out when we were looking for a second set before our son was born. You can use multiple sets in your home but they HAVE to be the same style.

Yes you can. You can wire the camera through a on/off rocker switch. If you have a rear camera also installed there is a liquid crystal display monitor that has a V1 or V2 (view) switch and you can alternate between cameras as necessary.

You can have up to 4 cameras as long as they are the same brand of course. I bought the monitor with only one camera, but can buy additional cameras as needed.

I know the samsung sell cameras that can be used with this monitor. I think its better visit samsung's web site and see the compatibility for this model.

No, multiple cameras can be linked to the same monitor but only one monitor can be linked to a camera.

Yes you have plenty of choices in compatible cameras. Yes you can use split screen and monitOr all your cameras at once.

I'm not sure about a replacement monitor but I know that the cameras will only connect to one system.

The "new in the box" cameras do but I don't know about the reconditioned and used ones.

You can sync up to 4 cameras at a time to a single monitor. You will not be able to use 2 monitors however.

The quick answer is Yes...but it may not be the best approach. I have done this in situations different types of camera systems are running on the same location. It would be helpful to know more about your needs.

No it cannot only accepts the same mfg camera, I had to return and get another viewer. Called the mfg and they verified that best is you used their game camera.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't get 2 different cameras of the same model to work at all. On this camera, refurb was not the way to go for me.

Thank you for your question. This camera for the Best View Choice is not compatible with the Slim & Secure 2 monitor system.

I doubt it. I owned a Summer Best View monitor and bought this thinking it would be compatible with it, but it was only compatible with the new Summer Best View Choice model. I had to buy a whole new system. I'm not sure why the same brand doesn't make interchangeable cameras!

I contacted Summer Infant since we have the 02640 (discontinued) as well needing adapter. This one will not work. They recommended this workaround http://www.summerinfant.com/boost/replacement-parts/adapters/camera-adapters/camera-adapter-for-02040-28010-28030.Apparently the monitor cord and the camera cord are interchangeable (if original). The new cords have a bend in the wire that does not allow for proper connection into the handheld monitor. So you have to take your old cord from camera - use that with the handheld monitor now. Then buy a new camera adapter cord to replace the one you took to use as power cord for handheld. Hope that makes sense.

Depending on the connection your old system has this new camera may or may not work they sell these cameras at Walmart and are on sale a lot for just $25 dollars your best bet is to email the manufacturer and ask them or google the images and see if the connector matches your system hope this helps happy holidays

Sorry for the late reply, yes you can hook up a backup camera to this screen. I would suggest buying one, its not expensive at all
