I also use this as a baby monitor, and would definitely recommend it. I use the app "Baby Monitor" by SunshineApps on my iPad and iPhone and yes, the audio is transmitted along with the video. There are similar apps for Android as well. If you punch a hole in your home firewall, you can monitor your camera from anywhere you have an internet connection.

It should... Leave it u on your phone..easy on your home network. Might watch for data usage when on other data nets.

Absolutely Yes, as long as you have a wireless router and working internet (though you can use it wired, assuming you can run a cable from the baby's room to the router). Also I've tried a few apps, the one that worked the best for us is called Baby Monitor HD by SunshineApps.

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

Not only can you hear your baby, you can "see" the sound. The volume can be adjusted with a fair range. But there's also a line of lights across the top of the screen that glow green (silent) or red(noise). I don't know what is do without it!

Hummm. Yes, but it only records audio, and the audio quality will only improve if you have a good microphone. Just connecting to your IPhone wont do much

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.

Well max volume on the iphone barely leaks. And more than 2feet away you cant hear it. The isolation imo is satisfactory, with nothing playing, you can still hear your environment, but it's still quite muffled. With sound on forget location awareness the music takes over :)

Yes you can do it, It has a Jack connector in the front and also It has RCA connectors, you just need a RCA to Jack cable and you will be able to listen to the sound of your computer or iphone.

I use the Bluetooth feature all the time. It works seamlessly with my iPhone. Just pair your phone with the receiver once, then whenever you want to listen to audio from your iPhone change the source to Bluetooth. Works for any audio your iPhone plays: music, audio books, audio from videos. Also it works pretty well for phone calls.

No. It does not work because it's omni-directional, i.e., it amplifies everything including background noise in front and behind. For example, if your nephew takes a step or a car passes by, those sounds will be amplified, obscuring what he is trying to hear.

I am able to view it on my iPhone 4 and ipad. We had to connect it thru our wireless router for it to work first. Unfortunately the sound feature does not work on the iPhone or iPad.

No. you can not. but why you need that for. teasing;-). you do not want your baby associate your voice with a monitor..

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.

If it is connected to the HDMI plugin then you can listen to music. You can not listen to iPhone because they were made for PS3 and music.

I read that the audio comes off and on to make it less noisy. It is supposed to cut out background noise. It should come on when baby is making noise.

Absolutely! I read reviews of people that did that. Once you remove the sensor pad and disconnect it from the nursery unit, it will just be a regular sound monitor. I did not keep it just for sound because I already had one just for sound. I was hoping to have something that helped me with peace of mind ...

Yes it does let you watch and listen in real time. The church I used to work for used it as a monitor for their childrens daycare during services - it worked very well for that. They had plans to expand it to the children being able to watch the services.

I use an Apple app called "Baby Monitor" on my iPhone. As the name suggests, it was originally intended for monitoring a baby by video cam, but I find that that it works great for my purpose. I had another highly rated app but didn't like it as much because, although powerful, the app was sluggish and the video quality on my iPhone wasn't that great and it was overly complicated with a lot more bells and whistles than I really needed. "Baby Monitor", on the other hand is a relatively basic app which doesn't try to do everything, but does the things that it does do very well with easy to use controls.
