Can you put the monitor on "sleep" mode while on the charger? So I can still hear sound but not have the video on all night until baby makes a sound?

You can push the top button video on/off button and it will blackout the screen but you can still hear baby, while on the charger.

Yes, the middle button on the top of the monitor turns the picture on or off while on the charger. That way you can just use audio at night. We find it is too bright to have the video running all night. When you hear them and would like to see them again just press the button again to turn the picture back on. Hope this helps!

You can turn the video screen off on the charger. Once you hear a noise, you can quickly switch it back on.

The part that goes in the baby's room is NOT cordless. I own 2 of these. Only the parent's side of the monitor has the cordless option.

If you have the video monitoring open all the time it's going to put an obvious drain on the battery. What I do I crank the app up- take a peak - then turn my iPhone video off but allow audio. It's very useful when baby might get a little fussy when first putting her down. Allows you to see whether she is really out of sorts or just working it out on her own.

I've never seen a cordless monitor. I wouldn't recommend putting it in the baby bed anyway even if it were cordless. The noise sensitivity is so great with the Sony monitor that you don't even need to put it close to the crib or bed. When my daughter was still in her crib, we left it under her crib and still had really great sound transmission. Now that she's 3 and in a full size bed, the monitor is in the opposite corner of her room from her bed, and we still have the same great sound transmission as if it were right next to her bed.

Yes it can. If the battery dies just plug it in and turn it back on while it charges. All in all it a pretty good baby monitor.

did it just go off until you woke up? Might help to put a baby monitor in your room and his so you can assist for a bit.

I had the same issue (well... and still have it)... the thing is the volumen is so, so low, that you have to almost speek directly to the camera and not farther than a few centimiters... 2 o 3 cms., then you will hear the sound on the App. In few words, its useless for baby monitoring. My cameras are now "safe" in a drawer... :S

Thank you for your interest in Levana. While Candace is correct to a degree, you can use the PEEP mode to use the monitor with voice activation. This will turn off the video and audio to conserve power, and turn the video and audio back on when enough sound is being made in the child's room. This will allow you to get the most out of your battery life while still providing peace of mind.

I don't really remember because We don't really take out or unplug this camera and monitor. Our daughter is 20 month old and during this time maybe all total we unplugged maximum 10 times when we are going on the vacation or at grandparents house.We always have pluged and we turn off just monitor with on/off button. If you take just camera in a other room with out cable screen goes to sleep in every 5 min.

When the parent monitor is not plugged in, the picture automatically goes black after a few minutes to save the battery (just push any button and the picture will come back on). If you have the volume up, then you will still be able to hear and the volume indicator lights on the top will still light up. When the monitor is plugged in, the picture stays on.

I have a separate video monitor that connects to my phone. What I like about having it separate is that I'm not obsessively checking the video. If I hear a noise, I can pull up the video to see what's going on. Also, what's cool about these is that you can set sensitivity level so if your baby is a "loud sleeper" you can set it to lower sensitivity to only pick up when baby is actually crying rather than normal baby noises.

Sounds like the sensitivity is set too low. Try increasing the sensitivity to pick up the sounds. Remember, if there are not loud enough sounds, the monitor does go into a ''mute" mode to save battery on the parent unit.

I've never used this feature, but to answer you question my husband turned on the music. Apparently each of the 5 songs plays for about 30 seconds and then plays again,and again, and again for approximately 20 minutes. You select which song you want to play. I hope this answers your question. The monitor is really a sanity saver because it lets me do some things while the baby sleeps. One more thing, don't expect to see anything on the screen in bright sunshine. It is completely washed out in that kind of light, but well worth having outside because you can hear the baby when he wakes up. I wouldn't be without it.

The camera, when in video mode, turns itself off after about 25 minutes when connected either to this power supply , or on battery... not aware of a work around or hack to change that .... good luck ... let me know if you find a work around

I plugged in with a HDMI cable into my video card and it gave me the option to use the monitor through windows sound options. Did not have to do anything else to get that option. Sound is not so great but I love the monitor for the cost I paid a while back, under $100.

Yes the camera portion does have to be plugged in all the time. The monitor is chargeable but the charge doesn't last all night.

Short answer: try turning it off and then on again every single day. Mine worked great for about a week and then became deafening loud even on the lowest volume setting. I discovered that if I reset the child-end of the monitor, it works great again for about 24 hours before become ridiculously loud again.
