Can I use this as a wire lined baby monitor? Does pushing LOCK allow me to monitor ongoing sounds coming from the room where the first receiver is?

YES!!! This would make a very good baby monitor. On occasion this lock button will be left on here at my house and I can hear my wife talking on the phone in her study. Hope this answers your question. Jim S.

Hi, I'll try to answer your questions but I think I would have to find my instructions. It operates as a CB would. You have to push the talk button to send your message and then release the talk button. Person on the other end has to push their talk button to talk back. I pushed my lock button and you don't hear what is going on at the other end. That is where I would have to look at instructions to see what the lock button does for sure.

Provided you set up the color-coded frequency (very easy process) to do so, yes.I did too, for a time; however, it didn't really work all that well for me. I have 2 young children; a baby and a 5yr old who sleepwalks. If I heard a noise I didn't like that wasn't a voice, I had to check both rooms, possibly not getting where I was needed as quick as I'd like. Since you'll be getting 2 receivers anyway you might wanna give them different frequencies.

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!

I think it locks the station in the on position. Possibly could use it to monitor activities going on in a room

I used my own wire for the outside door bell intercom. The larger monitor is a plug in and it isn't very long. I spliced all of my stuff to make things work. I ran my wire over 50' from outside inside the walls.

No it can't be heard in other rooms which is a bummer. What I did was put a baby video system in the room near the bed alarm and put the other end of the video alarm to where ever I was sleeping. That way I can hear it. We used it for my Dad. My Mom was sleeping in the same room and whenever it went off it would sometimes wake her. The other issues is that when the person using the bed alarm moves sometimes the alarm goes off even if they were not trying to get out of bed. It was a problem with false alarms but it was better than not having it. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is possible to monitor a room that you are not in. Press the lock on the intercom in the room you want to monitor and talk to release it. You won't be able to call or talk to that intercom while the lock is on only listen. I hope that helps.

Sorry for the delay, my internet has been acting up. I bought this for my son's new addition who hasn't arrived yet. He had hooked up a camera to veiw the baby via the internet on his phone but it had no sound. I had bought my daughter a video monitor system and I really liked that. I would think either one you go with will give you peace of mind with a new baby around. Best of luck and congratulations!

I am having the same problem. After pushing the sensitivity button, I can hear out of the baby's room, then the unit mutes after a few seconds. Not quite sure if this is a battery saving feature...I always have mine plugged in next to my bed! It does go on when there is noise in the baby's room. I thought perhaps there was a reset button on the parent unit. Perhaps changing the battery will help. I guess it's time to refer to the owners manual. :-)

Hi Ellen, we didn't have any problem at all. As our bedrooms are on the 2nd storey & living/dining rooms/kitchen on the 1st storey, we are able to monitor our baby whenever we left him alone. :)

It scans between cameras every 10 seconds, you can only hear the room that is currently displayed. You can also manually switch between rooms or set it not to scan if you have only 1 child sleeping

Yes, you just have to remember to turn the monitor off. I like the monitor that only detects movement because the off/on switch stays in the baby's room. It is easy to turn off if you forget (I nurses baby in her room). You can use a regular sound monitor with it (or my baby's room is close enough to our room I really don't use a sound monitor at all because I can hear the alarm without it). This monitor still amazes me. Best thing I have ever bought - gives me such peace of mind.

Dear friend, Thank you for your questions. It is really sorry that it is only a camera, it can't be used as a lock, you can use any DVR monitor, and if you have any special requirement ,please let me know, I will try my best to satisfy you.

If your asking if you can talk to someone in the baby's room from the parent monitor the answer is no!!!

Hi Ced. It has second zone pre-outs for audio and video, allowing you to "push: your music and movies to another room.

I have this monitor with twins in the same room but separate cribs and only need one camera, I set in on a dresser ACROSS THE ROOM from the cribs and it can pivot to view each crib. I'd say- Buy one and see how it works in your room. I have never used it to try and see if my kids are breathing, (you could drive yourself bonkers!) and for the love of all that is good- do not position the monitors on the wall where your kids can reach the wires!

No, you cannot. But the monitor will switch between cameras depending on where it detects noise. I use two cameras - one in each child's room - and if both happen to be crying at the same time, the screen will cycle between them - just depends on who's the loudest
