Yes it would, as long as they live in range of the phone system. Be sure to give them a charging base for the handsets!

Does Uniden work by leaving the phone turned on all the time? I mean can I leave the phone in the charging base on intercom or some setting and do the same in the other location, such my next door neighbor. I want to know that if someone breaks in my house my nieghbor would be able to hear it on her speaker phone next door? Might not work though because if someone broke in they would hear any niose at my neighbor's house. Just wondering. Thanks for answering.

I am looking at the owner's manual and see nothing about two channels. And I don't see any reason you could not have two sets in the same house. I've learned the nursery unit is very sensitive and picks up the sound of TV in the family room. We leave TV in 24/7 - if you do the same I suggest you turn the volume down. We use the to monitor our new dog who sleeps very soundly in her crate in our kitchen. I worried she might be distressed during the night and we wouldn't hear her. So far we are very satisfied with this unit. The number one reason I purchased it was the comments that it didn't "hum" or make other noises that to me would be disturbing.

We use the system with any phone someone has in the house. But you need to plug the phone cord directly into the unit and not into the phone. If you want to use the telephone you must disconnect the alarm and replug into the phone. This is a very good alarm unit but some people do have problems setting it up. Once you figure it out you can call you home from any location and receive information about the temperature in the house, and power.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

I have a separate video monitor that connects to my phone. What I like about having it separate is that I'm not obsessively checking the video. If I hear a noise, I can pull up the video to see what's going on. Also, what's cool about these is that you can set sensitivity level so if your baby is a "loud sleeper" you can set it to lower sensitivity to only pick up when baby is actually crying rather than normal baby noises.

Yes it works great as a baby monitor, but it does not display continously, you can view for a certain period of time and then it asks if you want to continue... I use it as a monitor for when I go out and leave my kid with someone else. Also, you can program it to send an e-mail everytime something moves...

Hello Wendy. I hope my answer helps. I bought this type and never was able to get this function. I waited to long to get back with the seller so I lost out. I would not buy this type of unit.

We use sunshine apps baby monitor hd and it works well. There is a slight transmission delay most times of about 2 or 3 seconds, but it is not an issue for us!

Lori, it appears that the unit which you mention here does not have a monitor with it. The set up I originally purchased had a monitor with it which had the capability of running two cameras. These monitors can be purchased separately, and are normally not too awful expensive. You would do best to purchase at least a 7" monitor, as this will give you the best viewing area. Although most monitors are compatible with most cameras, make sure the one you choose is compatible with your camera. It should list the types of cameras it will support of the description of the unit. Hope this info helps. Don Lori, it appears that the unit which you mention here does not have a monitor with it.

As far as I know, the only video monitors that can't be hacked into have to have a "video encryption" guarantee on them. This does not. Audio or video monitors run on local frequencies and if someone in the neighborhood has your model, they might accidentally be able to tap into the sound or image of your monitor. Honestly, I'm excellent about only turning it on when the baby naps. Otherwise it is off, so I decrease my chances of leaving an open opportunity of viewing where the baby sleeps. People who are forgetful and leave the monitor on all the time are the only ones who need to be more vigilant. Having said that, I've used this device religiously for 16 months and have never picked up the image or sound of some other baby's nursery. So I'm guessing that since I haven't picked up someone's frequency, then nobody's picked up mine because it would glitch both ways otherwise. Hope that helps.

Sorry. I wish I could help on this. I have not used it for this reason nor do I have any intention of using it for this reason. I feel for your frustration as the unit does claim to be able to perform this function...

It will work as a door monitor. There is a beam of red light emitted from the unit. (Just like an overhead garage door). If anything interrupts the beam, it will sound an alert on the receiver unit. We clipped the receiver unit to our belt so that we could be in other parts of the house. If our patient (elderly, and a fall risk), got out of bed, the alarm would sound. The unit itself (the part with the beam), does not sound an alarm, just the receiver unit.

In my experience, I just used an old computer monitor that I had at work. The system as I bought it did not come with a monitor. They're practically giving those away on Craigslist anyway if you don't have one. The receiver on this system writes to an SD card which can then be viewed on another PC if you wish. You will need an SD card reader if you don't have that already. You can get those at walmart or target.

I'm still confused, and hoping someone can help. We have one of these right now, and with a 2nd child coming, I want to buy a 2nd one. I would like to be able to hear BOTH rooms on one parent receiver on the same channel. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

I couldn't get this to stream calls at all - would stream any music from my phone to anything I plugged into - car stereo, home audio receiver, etc. - but when I would get a call it would not send call audio thru any device??? I bought it more to stream my calls thru my car audio than to stream my music... I wonder if mine is defective or if this is just a limitation on this model? Nothing in the tiny manual that comes with it about streaming call audio at all... ?? Anyone have any info?
