How does the VOX mode work with two cameras? Does the picture only pop up when there is noise for the camera currently selected? Or both?

You select which camera (room) you want to use. When baby goes to other area you select the other camera.

Yes, it does. That is what the VOX or voice activated control is. It is that reason alone why I love this system. I haven't found another that does this. It is dark, off-like until your little one makes a noise. Then it will light up for you to see and hear on the screen! This way I don't have to keep going back to "check" the monitor. When it lights up, it alerts me!

I would like to have a mic setup where two of us can be in this end at the same time. Most mics are either with a headset, so wouldn't work for two people, or built in to the camera. The problem with that is it is really close to the speakers so I am concerned about feedback/distortion.

Kristen, I believe it cannot continuously record multiple cameras, you select one for continuous recording. Multiple cameras are used in motion detection mode. Motion detection works well for me.Jim L.

Hi there Chris - Yes there are two recording modes - voice-activated and continuous recording. With the continuous recording mode it will record sound and video. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I recommend a Fiio E6 amplifier between any microphone and camera, where the mic does not have a boost function. Without this, the sound may be poor and you may be tempted to blame the mic when the problem is actually in the camera.

Just got the camera today and tried to add to sinology but just did not work for me, am i doing something wrong? any advice on setting it up? Also what if one has multiple camera how do we separate port 80? thanks.

I think that is just your auto focus. I get the same sounds from my Nikon D3100 in the video mode. But, only when it is focusing. These are primarily still picture cameras. Video is just a nice option and as yet not quite perfected yet, I guess. The more you use the video function, the better you will get at focusing and you can kinda work through it. I personally don't use it that much, but it's nice to have if you do need it.

http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/t2i-7d-disable-agc-rode-videomic/ Its not the mic ... its the camera. Either use the work around at the above link orhttp://www.learningdslrvideo.com/zoom-h4n-review/ you have to get a separate audio recorder and link it to the video in post. If you get frustrated, just remember the T2i is a PHOTO camera. Just appreciate that you are now shooting movie quality video for under a grand. At least that's what I tell myself to help me fall asleep at night. :)

Actually it is quite simple when you taking video mode can be switch on mic with voice volume control.If didn't switch to video it is won't work.

Yikes, mine is not that loud. If your cameras don't immediately work, then press the little black button on the back of the camera 5 or 6 times fairly rapidly and that should solve that. I can hear mine running but it is not overly loud.

Yup! Learned that after the fact-- I still can't get it to work with two cameras though. It only wield with one.

Both cameras record at the same time. However, when you look at the monitor, it will swap views back and forth from each camera. So you will see one camera for a few seconds and then it will swap the view to the other. Hope this answers your question.

I've had nothing but good luck with this camera. I've had no problem with the built in mic. I thought it worked greast. I haven't noticed any noise. You may have a defective camera. I'd contact Panasonic.

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.

Dear. I put my camera under automatic shot and all is ok. When I put in scene mode to film some movies it works great, the image is HD, the collors are great, the quality is very very good, the sound is perfect, but monaural, it has one microphone inside, near the button shot. Maybe your camera needs some audio configurations. One disadvantage is when you select scene movies you don´t have access to the ZOOM feature, you have to adjust zoom first. Good Luck

If I have two cameras and one handheld monitor.. can I hear both babies in each separate room at the same time or do I have to switch between cameras to hear each room to know if one of the babies is crying?
