Is there a battery back up on the monitor that stays in baby's room?

Yes. I keep mine plugged into their wall at all times. But they do have battery back up. The electricity went out once and the monitor worked fine.

I've noticed it seems to work off the base for about 7-8 hours. Our battery level stays at 60% for an inordinate amount of time and then drops off, so you may not want to totally trust the battery percentage listed on the monitor. We have it on the base at night to make sure that, just in case the baby sleeps all night, the monitor will stay on.

It is in the monitor. The cameras do not have batteries, they must be plugged into an outlet. The monitor can be free standing for several hours before recharging.

Yes, you just have to remember to turn the monitor off. I like the monitor that only detects movement because the off/on switch stays in the baby's room. It is easy to turn off if you forget (I nurses baby in her room). You can use a regular sound monitor with it (or my baby's room is close enough to our room I really don't use a sound monitor at all because I can hear the alarm without it). This monitor still amazes me. Best thing I have ever bought - gives me such peace of mind.

There's a little switch in the back if I recall correctly. You need the manual to identify it. I don't remember which one it was. However, you probably don't want to. The feature doesn't work very well. Any ambient noise in the room will activate it, making it practically useless except as a monitor, for which you don't need the switch.

The baby unit that goes in the baby's room is plug in only. The parent units are both plug in and battery. The parent units include batteries which are rechargeable. I hope this helps.

When the parent monitor is not plugged in, the picture automatically goes black after a few minutes to save the battery (just push any button and the picture will come back on). If you have the volume up, then you will still be able to hear and the volume indicator lights on the top will still light up. When the monitor is plugged in, the picture stays on.

The camera can plug into the wall or run on batteries. The monitor had a cradle that plugs into the wall where it recharges - you can have it off of its cradle for as long as the rechargeable battery lasts.

There seems to be a battery inside because I have unplugged this several times and it keeps the settings. BTW, I really like this unit. Only issue is the instruction guide, but once you figure out how to do the setting this unit is great.

My simple answer is "Yes". When power returns (having gone), the monitor powers up on its own.

There is a place on both the parent end and the baby end where you can put batteries. The unit also beeps if it loses power. I'm also not sure about the dual voltage. This is a great monitor though. My son is now almost 2 1/2 and mine still works wonderfully.

The camera has a wall charger and then the option for batteries which would be good in case of a power outage. I LOVE this monitor! Recommend it to everyone

I've had mine for about a week. I havent removed the back panels. But, I'm sure it does not have a battery. When my power went out a few days ago, the PC completely shut down.

The battery hatch is in the back of the monitor, at the top so you don't need to unscrew it from its base. Have you made sure all the connections are in place?

Yes there is a battery that recharges itself and never needs to be replaced. I believe it will hold your settings for 30 days. It is a marvelous timer/switch and I highly reccomend it.Earl Tillman

The main unit that stays near the baby is not able to operate by battery. It must be plugged into an outlet.

The monitor in the baby's room can be plugged in. It does not need batteries to work. In fact both units have AC adapters. Either can be plugged in or use batteries. I always leave the baby monitor (microphone) unit plugged in under my baby's crib. The parent unit (speaker) is plugged in when next to my bed at night, but I use the batteries when I am awake and carrying it with me.
