can you select audio only for the auto-scan feature? (ie, at night can i turn off video feed and still have the monitor scan for audio in 2 rooms?)

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

The monitor cycles between both cameras about every 5 seconds. So you can only see the video and hear the audio of one room at time (there's no split screen), but it automatically switches back and forth between the two rooms. You can also set it to stay on one camera and/or manually switch between the cameras.

There is a scan feature where it changes from each room like every 10 seconds or so. It's very helpful. I think some models/brands do a split screen, but not this one. We have two cameras and it's very helpful.

You can only hear one room at a time, even in dual view mode. When you scan, if you only have 2 cameras set up, it only scans between the 2. That's how ours is set up.

Audio could be off all time, I don't think screen could be off all time when recording.

Yes, you just press the top button briefly to turn off the monitor, press again to turn on, the sound still works. The volume is adjustable and has a good range. The monitor is also very good and clear with capturing the sounds.

Can anyone give an emphasized answer? I am looking at buying another camera as well and my wife and I were both wondering this. Based on Diana's answer, it seems that when it switches from one camera to the other using the scan feature (8 seconds or 8 minutes?), the audio switches. Can anyone confirm this?

Thank you for your interest in Levana. There is a setting in the monitor that allows the change from one camera to the other automatic. PEEP mode will not function while in this "Sequence" mode, there would always be an image switching every 10-15 seconds along with the audio from that camera.

you have the Voice activated feature enabled, if there is a sound in the room the monitor will turn on so you can hear and see what is going on. you can hold the vol+ and Brightness+ to toggle this setting on and off. it also might be helpful to read the manual this and a few other features are covered that you will only learn about by reading the manual or the web. http://infantoptics.com/DXR-5_Main.php manual is at the bottom of the page.

The camera will scan from room to room every 10 seconds in its own, when u set it on SCAN. You will see and hear each room. It is wonderful!

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.

Yes, it does have a feature that allows the monitor screen to turn off while the audio stays on. If the audio level rises above a preset level then the monitor screen will come back on. So it really depends how loud the room is that your monitoring how effective this feature will be.

Thank you for your question. To monitor in audio only mode, simply press the Video On/Off button to turn the video screen off.

No, you can't hear sound from more than one camera simultaneously. Depending on which monitor you have (I have the BB4325X), the problem is solved through the monitor's "scan" function, which cycles through all your available camera views for about five seconds at a time. For whatever view is on the monitor, the sound (or lack thereof) is what you would hear. The only exception would be for some models which present "quad" view which presents up to four views at once. For this quad view, no sound is offered. I believe that the reason this is is that 1.) it may be difficult to have all that consolidated audio streaming, and 2.) you really wouldn't know where the sound is coming from. The scan feature is what we use across our three cameras for our 3 year old and set of twins. Works great. Also, even on screen saver (where the screen goes dark), the audio cycling still happens.

Yes. You can have up to 4 different cameras on one monitor. I have a camera in each of my boys' rooms, and i can set it to watch only one if the other isn't in bed, or have it it switch back and forth on an interval. You can also set it to sleep after a minute if the baby is quiet, and then come back on if they cry or cough or make noise.

In the split screen mode, you will be able to see all the rooms but will only be able to hear one at a time. You can move between the rooms to hear each or put it in auto scan.

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.
