I have two kids. Does this monitor have two channels? So if I buy two, one for each kid's room. There will not be any interference between the two?

sorry I can´t help you as I gave it to another person, but I think it has one channel

I only have one monitor, but there is no way to change chanels. I am not sure if it would get interference from another monitor, but it does get interference from other things. We have 4 wifi connections around our house and one makes it static and beep when it is connected and downloading large files. It sounds crazy. We bought this monitor and liked it at first but it seems to get increasingly temperamental the longer we have it.

There are 2 channels I believe. You can set it up to run all or 2 channels differently. FYI, mine still works perfect.

Yes, I have two monitors hooked up to the computer now and they work great.For best results (at least for me) get a monitor with HDMI capacity. There isan HDMI port in the back of the computer. Only one can hook up with that, but it all depends on the quality of the monitor you purchase. The graphics are excellent. One monitor hooks up with the HDMI port, the other with a VGA cable cord.

You can monitor both channels. But if you want to communicate through the secondary channel you must switch to it. It takes two seconds.

It doesn't work! Only one of the monitors will pick up both cameras. The other monitor keeps showing "Out of Range". Do not buy two sets with the intention of having two monitors for viewing because only one monitor will work! :( I know because I tried to do this.

No , it only allows for one tv monitor where you can switch between 2 sources of input.

No. Because the signal strength degrades. I plug in my TV only with a 25' direct cable, (note: get a cable with audio mini attached for sound and make sure that it is long enough, some mini's are short) I do not use the splitter. I have found that the splitter does not work with two monitors at a time.

We have two sets of the Philips DECT SCD590 monitors. The two sets of monitors work fine together in the same house, they don't interfere with each other and each baby unit only talks to the parent units it came with. We've labeled the parent units so we know which one is which. For those that need two parent units but want the newer model, you could just buy two and put both baby units in the same room to effectively have two parent units.

it will be two separate outputs working one at a time. An example us using computer on one medium sized monitor and switching to large monitor to watch Hulu from computer. Hope thus helps.

To be able to communicate only with one you have to have a specific channel. On the other hand, if you activate the monitor feature, all can hear you

I disagree that two units work properly together. I bought a second set of these same monitors to use with our second baby and they repeatedly interact with each other and lose the link to the base. I called VTech and was told that they run on the same frequency, so this will likely continue to be a problem. I would not recommend using two at the same time.

Probably the company can answer that better. 1-800-268-6237. But it appears that it cannot monitor from 2 different rooms, but from whatever angle you have it pointed at in one room. It doesn't have extra "ports", though there may be a gadget that could make that possible. However I'm not sure you can buy a second camera separately to be used with one monitor. You may need a more sophisticated system, which would could cost much more.

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.

You won't see both cameras on the same screen at the same time. The cameras will be labeled camera 1 and camera 2. You can have the monitors scan so it will change about every 10 seconds. That is what I do at night. Or you have the option of switching manually yourself. It's pretty cool, I love having one in each of the kids room :)

No. If the key word is DIFFERENT this simply splits the signal for 2 identical monitors. I am on a splitter to 50' for one room and 6' at the computer. Works perfect for me to have 2 security monitors in 2 different locations. BTW I bought a good 50' cable.

I only have two TV's hooked up to it, and it shows on both at the same time. Keep in mind that the first monitor will go dark for a few seconds once the second monitor has its HDMI chat with the box. I would assume it will display on up to 4 monitors/TVs/displays at the same time, but I haven't tried (no need for me).
