I had the older version of this product that came with two parent units for the one baby receiver- it was fantastic but is absolutely no longer available anywhere in the world! I have been searching the internet for weeks. I have contacted Philips but as far as I can tell there is no option to purchase an additional parent unit. A big oversight I think.

As far as I can tell (from using one of them) there would be no way to use two baby units with one parent unit for the Philips monitor.

Maybe you could just buy multiple sets and have multiple transmitters in baby's room.

Just FYI, I called the actual maker of the old Philips 2 parent baby monitor, and they still had a few left that they were willing to sell for 199.00 to customers. So if you really have your heart set then you could probably call and get one easily. I wasn't willing to pay that much for two monitors. I will just have to make one work for now.

We have an older Philips monitor that we are still using in our 5 year old's room. We don't need the portability of the parent unit anymore, but when he was younger, we took the one that came with the set everywhere around the house and even outside. We never needed a second parent unit. We have a baby due in September and I am planning on buying the new Philips monitor for her room. Love the DECT technology.

That wasn't the question - the question is can you purchase another PARENT unit so that you have TWO PARENT units for ONE BASE or CHILD unit.

I've had mine for a few months now and am pleased with it. Just know that your two monitors will act as one single monitor. It does not bother me and have learned,to work with it.

You just need to open two windows or two tabs in the browser to access them at the same time. With the "Baby monitor" app, you can look at up to 4 monitors at the same time.

I have used more than one and there seems to be a small degradation if linked to one phone. However, when linked to separate phones listening to the same station playing there was none. The difference was hard to determine at any rate.

I don't remember how many monitors came with it, it's been awhile since I bought it. if I remember correctly, they offer a model with dual monitors. I have #2 extra ones for sale. Shoot me a fair price and your location for shipping, if you can only buy a unit with less monitors then you need...

Yes if you mean the parent unit (the part not in the nursery). We have 2 parent units and one base and it all works well together. It might work the other way too, but you wouldn't be able to listen to both bases (the part in the nursery) at the same time. You'd have to switch frequencies to match the base you want to listen to.

This comes with a monitor and a receiver. Picture doesn't show. But it does. So if you buy two of what's shown you'll get 2 receivers too. As long as you are on the same frequency on the receive you can use as many monitors as you want with one receiver.

Returning this product. I bought an extra camera only to find out I cant use them both at the same time (audio). So this is not a good monitor setup if you have multiple children. The extra cameras are only if you have 1 child and want to monitor him in different rooms.

I don't know for sure. They have one sending unit and two monitors that you can purchase. I think what you want is two sending units (microphones) and either one or two receivers (speakers). They have several channels on which they can broadcast so I think it should work with two units. Each unit would have to be broadcasting on different channels. Changing channels on the receiver is as simple as pressing the up arrow. It is also simple on the sending unit. I think it will work, but I haven't tried monitoring two rooms.

The one I purchased was sold with the 3 extra handsets. I wanted 4. Guess you would have to see if they sell only the main unit. If not, I do remember ATT making one. Just type in single handset in search.

I faced this need and satisfied it by buying a complete new system with the answering part, then I used only the hand sets. I think I found a source for the handsets, and it was cheaper to buy the complete set and use only the new handsets. If you buy additional handsets, I found you had to cancel all the current handsets and then re link the old as well as the new handsets. Worked fine doing that.

You should call summer infant directly and switch your monitor to the summer infant baby touch 2. I had the same problem with my boost. I exchanged with the company a few times before giving up on the boost and going with the 2. I think it was a $10 difference and I haven't had any problems with this one and have had it for quite some time.

Lori, it appears that the unit which you mention here does not have a monitor with it. The set up I originally purchased had a monitor with it which had the capability of running two cameras. These monitors can be purchased separately, and are normally not too awful expensive. You would do best to purchase at least a 7" monitor, as this will give you the best viewing area. Although most monitors are compatible with most cameras, make sure the one you choose is compatible with your camera. It should list the types of cameras it will support of the description of the unit. Hope this info helps. Don Lori, it appears that the unit which you mention here does not have a monitor with it.

The base unit automatically comes with one handset. When it says "4 handset bundle," that means the base unit is bundled with 4 independant handsets which have their own charger. I have the base unit in a separate building (across the courtyard from the rest of the house), yet the reception is fine with all of the handsets even though the house is brick. You can find packages for this base unit with 1, 2, 3 or 4 extra handsets. By the way, I purchased an extra handset beyond the 4 (I have a total of 6 handsets including the base unit) and all work fine. I have tried other multi-unit telephones and this one is the best.

The smartphone connects to the baby monitor through the Lorex created cloud so I believe you can only connect one device at a time regardless of location.

We use 2 of the same monitors at night when both babies are sleeping. Ever since we've started doing this, we get annoying static interference once in a while from both monitors. I have one monitor set up on my night stand... if I move at all in the bed while I'm sleeping, it makes a loud, scary "CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSHHHHH" noise. In the middle of the night, this noise is terrifying. But to answer the question, you can use 2 at once on different channels. Just expect to have the poop scared out of you once in a while.
