I have 2 babies, 2 separate bedrooms. If I purchase the 2 camera system, does it scan/display both rooms for sound/crying?

You can set the monitor to alternate between camera views at 10-second intervals, i.e., Camera A for 10-seconds, then Camera B for ten seconds, then back to A, etc.

The SEW-3038W will not scan/display both rooms at the same time. You have to choose 1 to monitor at a time.

Yes, if you set it on the scan setting it will show (with audio) camera 1 for about 6 secs. Before automatically switching to camera 2 (we only have 2) for the same amount of time then it repeats. This is the setting we use overnight. I am very happy with this camera.

You can not. I contacted summer infant's support staff and they said you CAN NOT add another camera to this system. This is what they said:"Thank you for contacting Summer Infant. The Connect Plus Monitoring system can only work with one camera. We do not have an additional camera for this unit. If more than 1 camera is added it can cause interference and the system will not work properly. We do have updated internet/Wi-Fi systems called The baby Touch Wi-Fi and The Baby Zoom Wi-Fi both of these systems will allow more than 1 camera. Please let us know if you need further assistance."

there is a built-in mic which allows you to hear your baby. the image is pretty good, but gets "grainy" after about 5ft distance. it also has night vision which i think is an excellent feature. the monitor allows for upto 4 cameras so if you purchase additional cameras, you can switch which camera you want to view.

You cannot hear both, you can only hear one camera or the other in split screen. That's why we choose to use the full screen toggle. You get audio and visual from one room at a time for about 5 seconds at a time. (But we use the cameras in separate rooms.)

Sorry you can't. What you can do, is see both cameras with the a shuffle of audio. I use the function all the time.

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.

Yes! I sleep downstairs with both my boys in separate rooms and just put the monitor on the camera switch setting and it will rotate to each room automatically on the handheld monitor and it will just switch to whatever sound is going on in each of my boys bedrooms. Very easy and best monitor ive owned and ive owned three until this one. So happy with it and you can have many cameras hooked up at one time. You wont be unhappy. Its wonderful!

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.

No, mine came with just one monitor. I purchased a 2nd camera when we had a 2nd child. The monitor can scan back and forth automatically every 10 seconds between cameras. Or you can flip back and forth manually by pressing one of the buttons. Or it can remain on just one camera if you prefer.

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!

You can only hear on one camera in split screen mode. If you are having both in the same room, you should be able to hear what is going on in the room. I use them in separate rooms and can only hear on one room. But you can switch which camera you want to listen to.

How does it monitor 2 rooms simultaneously? Will it flip back and forth? What happens if child 2 cries while the monitor is showing child 1? Can you hear them both?

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.

You can us the "scan" feature, where it shows each screen for 15 seconds and switches back and forth (we usually do this overnight so we can hear both kids). Or you can set it to view one camera and manually switch back and forth.

Did anyone recently managed to buy an additional camera, and how/where? (likes of UK/Middle East, otherwise amazone USA) We need the extra camera for the 2nd baby shortly. Don't care about the sound splitting issue. Please reply!
