can you talk to baby with this monitor?

No. But you can hear baby. You can use in home or across the world to see and hear your baby, great for a night out knowing that babysitter has no problems, or if you are a traveling parent.

If you are looking for that feature, look at a "dropcam" I believe that you can talk through those cams

Yes. If you touch the power button the screen goes blank but audio remains on. You must press and hold the power button for the power to go all the way off.You didn't ask, but I will also say that you should keep the monitor out of reach of your kids. It isn't very durable. We've been using ours for 7 1/2 months and some of the controls are starting to fail.

All you have to do is hit the talk button and they can hear you. And they just talk. It's a baby monitor. Lol. Great monitor by the way for the money.

No it does not. But with free cloud services it's still worth it. You can order a baby monitor that does allow that.

Yes you can. There's an HDMI port on the back of the monitor. Therefore, I recommend using an HDMI cable.

Hello! I have not open the monitor box yet, my baby will be born until september, so I will use it until then, even though I have another summers monitor already for my other baby and it does not go to sleep mode at any time, you can watch and hear the baby all the time while the monitor is turned on... I hope to be helpful...

Absolutely! That's the beauty of this particular monitor- it's clipped onto the diaper and therefore moves with the baby. Just make sure to fold diaper over at the top (per the instruction manual) to ensure that it fits securely onto the diaper

Yes, that's what we use it for. We use a separate, plug in baby monitor for sound. It's great!

Yes - the video is still visible. You can also turn the screen off and just listen to audio. This is a great baby monitor - I would buy it again.Addendum: we ended up buying another one of these monitors and after just a few months use neither unit works anymore. The product I bought on Amazon has no audio - we had to buy an audio monitor to substitute for the malfunctioning unit. The warranty process to return the defective unit is incredibly tidious and with significant delay. After spending more money to buy a audio monitor and paying for shipping this unit back to the manufacturer I no longer recommend this monitor - all in all its not worth the money or time Yes - the video is still visible.

I assume you can, the monitor has connections for VGA, DV-I, and HDMI. I was very disappointed in the resolution, but connecting it was easy enough.

This intercom system cannot be used as a baby monitor, since you have to press and hold button for someone to hear on the other unit. We bought it so my elderly mother could call if she needed anything, instead of trying to walk up and down stairs. Worked really well when she stayed with us over the holidays. For this type of use, I highly recommend it!

I always have the sound machine on when baby is in bed to sleep and I am using the monitor. There is no way one could confuse the baby's noises with the background whir of the sound machine.

Pretty expensive for a baby monitor but you could if you wanted to. There are some pretty good "baby monitors" made just for watching your baby even at night. I would check Amazon under baby monitors. Now if you are planning on having just one camera watching the baby and the rest monitoring the rest of the house, then I don't see a problem, you could use this system for that very purpose.

Yes you can. I have done it. However, the audio isn't amazing, but for monitoring purposes, it works fine (no loud background noise). However, you will always have to have the video on at all times as well, no way to turn it off. If your device turns off, so will the monitoring. If you use it for any serious length of time (over night baby monitoring) your phone or tablet may heat up much more than is wanted.

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.

Yes I can hear our baby clearly when she moves or cries. The monitor does have a low humming sound like static but it's good for the price.

It's just a call button, with no ability to verbally communicate either way. A tone (loud tone) sounds when patient pushes button and that lets me know to go see what she needs. I ended up getting the baby monitor where I could speak to her, but it was only a one way unit.
