I have this unit now configured with 4 cameras and it is working fine. However, when I have it in scan mode and it toggles through single view on each camera, sometimes 1 or 2 of them don't appear. But when in full 4 screen mode all the cameras are working. Sometimes a reboot of the system fixes this and sometimes not. Has anyone else had this issue?

These are motion controlled. if when switching to different camera and no motion detected it will not show any thing

yes, its a antenna range problem. the scan pic is bigger and needs better reception. if you place the monitor closer to camera, it shows scan mode very good.

No. The monitor is scanning between the 2-4 cameras. There is no way to show all cameras at the same time. So, since the sound is associated with the camera...the answer to your question is no. That being said, the scanning is pretty frequent (about every 10 sec) and we have never had a problem missing anything.

My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor. I have it set up to view 9 cameras at once. 3 on top 3 in the middle and 3 on the bottom. I found I really don't need 10 cameras but have an extra one in case one dies on me or I decide I need it at some point. Not sure if that abswered your question or not. Its a 16 channel system so you can use 1 camera or 4 or 8 or buy enough to put 16 up. More than 16 cameras for this system I don't know. As far as intergrate it with another system. That's a question I cant answer. My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor.

No, I takes up to 4 cameras and puts them on one screen. You are looking for something like this Zmodo PKD-DK0863-500GB Outdoor Security CameraThis isn't a recommendation, I searched for security system and pick the first one that had 4 stars.

You can sync up to four cameras to one monitor, but there is no scan/cycle feature. I bought two monitor sets, but was forced to return them because of the lack of the scan feature that every other video baby monitor has.

I have never had a problem with the unit and I use it continuesly with ten camera. You do have to be careful as u insert the batteries. U could have a defective unit

I purchased a 4 camera 8 channel unit, then added 4 cameras no problem records all 4. haven't tested it with on-line internet viewing ability in any form.

Odd that it happened on 2 camera's at same time. This happened to one of my camera's. Pull power out from the back of the unit and wait about 30 seconds. then plug back in.If it still it not working, Check your Iris setting make sure it's open. Final option before considering bad is reset the whole system back to default settings.This may fix problem. Any IP setting you have will be lost. so it will need to bereprogrammed good luck JW

I don't think this unit cycles between cameras. You have to manually select which camera you want to view.

I recently purchased this camera, and yes, you can program the monitor to scan between each camera. For instance, I have 2 cameras, and I programmed the monitor to go back and forth between cameras. So I can view camera one for 12 or so seconds, and then it automatically goes to camera 2 for 12 or so seconds, and so on. Or I can program the monitor to be static so it views just one camera, and I can manually switch between cameras by pressing the up and down arrows. In regards to viewing both cameras on the screen at the same time, like a split screen: yes that's possible also. The only caveat here is that the Ovia gives you an option to either view one screen entirely or a four-split screen, not a two-split screen. The four-split screen is pretty small, but still works. I wish they'd have an option for a two-split screen. Hope this helps!

I encountered the same problem.. it looks like you can pair the camera to only one monitor at a time. Rats.

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.

No. They run very well on I.E. or Crome. I have 12 going right now. If you want to see several cameras at the same time you will need to use I.E. though. I don't have much bandwidth so I only view two at a time in different windows...

We added an additional camera to the Best View Monitor and it works great. Camera/ Model no. 28074 is compatible. On scan mode it will flip every 8 seconds between cameras. Best of luck.

It must be defective because mine works all of the time. Since I have had the camera I only had one incident. I unplugged the camera and restarted it and have never had another problem.

Have you set up the recording schedule? I couldn't figuire it out, but I went with the default setting for the entire day. Another thing you can try is when you are in the view mode for the cameras right click on the camera you want to review then left click on "play back." After that you have to select which camera you want to view. I tried listing all the cameras for play back, but that didn't work so I had to select only one camera at a time. When you get to that screen there are some numbers in the bottom right hand side, those are referring to the cameras in your system. Select the one you want to watch a recording on. You have to select the day you want to review and then hit the refresh icon (looks almost like the arrows for a recycling sign). You are then given a list of times the camera recorded and you can select one to view. I use the motion detect also, and I think its the best option because it won't record the entire day. If you want to look into the other options that you can adjust in your system then all you need to do is right click with the mouse and it will list all the options that you can adjust.
