can I lock the screen and my daughter can still watch e.g YouTube with exiting out of the video?

I don't think so. I don't recommend this tablet, it has bad quality I bought 4, and I have just 1 working well

No. But there are apps that you can download that lock you in and can allow only certain apps for your child to have access to. It requires a code to exit back to the main screen outside of the app. There is also a kid friendly YouTube app (3.99) that you have to approve the videos that way your child isn't watching inappropriate videos.

Absolutely not. You need a special app to access the internet. It used to have YouTube but no longer. Honestly I would get a different brand. I'm considering giving it away to one of my kids.

I don't see why not, you can visit the sight, I just tried. You may need to change the settings, I have my son's tablet set on a certain parental setting.

Not necessarily...the way it works is that the monitor goes on "sleep" mode, and when it hears a sound from the child, it turns back on...the screen and the sound. So it will stay off as long as the child is quiet.

You can talk with the cover closed, HOWEVER you want to make sure to turn the screen off before closing the cover or risk random screen touches that hang up, mute or something worse.

Yes to Hulu and Netflix. Although I have experienced that with Youtube. Whether parental controls are turned off or not Youtube can not be accessed.

That is a good question. From what i know, touching the screen locks it and I am not sure if that can be altered. and if it is how would you then lock the door.

You should be able to. I haven't had a problem listening to YouTube through it.

Yes you can lock your self out. This just keeps the screen from timing out.

Yes, you can. There is a switch that you use to switch it on or off. And the switch is under a locked cover, so kids can't access it.

I assume you mean the screen lock. Go to settings, security then activate what lock you want and set it.

I have never seen that option, sounds like a parental control or demo mode function. It must be in the menu somewhere to turn that off. Maybe you can email Sony or open the pdf version of the manual and search for "lock"?

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.

I tried answering before so not sure this is being sent twice. The answer is YES. In order to watch them you have to download the video to your computer. There is no view screen on the camera itself. After downloading there is a prompt asking if you want to delete the video. You do want to do this so as to clear the camera and have space for the next video recording.

Yes there is an option to turn video off by putting the contrast down and still be able to hearAlso the video can be shut down after being idle for certain amount of minutes

From my experience, this will not be possible. If your child walks into the room with the TV connected to the SensorPlug it would turn it on. Only after a few minutes of inactivity would the TV go off. I would suggest a strip of paper that you child would learn not to cross. Just a suggestion.

WOW, I have to say that is the best question I have seen about this device. The answer is unfortunately no. There is definitely a way if you are willing to jailbreak the application and write your own parental control widget. But there is no software that you can install to control what your child can do on the device, including browsing to questionable material. I would not be surprised if somebody is already working on such an applet to sell at the applications store. For now though, I haven't seen anything like that.
