Anyone else use this with 2 cameras and hear a loud clicking noise when it cycles back and forth between the 2 rooms? How can I get rid of the clicking?

I believe the clicking noise starts when the screen is too close to one of the cameras. Perhaps you should move the cameras to another place in the room and see if the clicking goes away.

I have not had this problem and we have three cameras paired to the same monitor.

Hi,make sure both cameras are on, press the small camera icon button to switch between them....works for me

I have this same problem. The switches function just fine until I connect a camera. Once a camera is connected, I believe a ground loop forms. This can pose a potential problem (no pun intended). I have two of these enclosures and they both behave the same.

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

No, you can switch between each camera. Or you can put it on scan mode, which cycles between cameras I believe every 10 seconds or so

ok so this particular camera gives you that option? I don't have this camera. I'm looking to buy it and that's one thing that would make or break the purchase. I didn't know that's why it double flashes, thanks.

Yes, same result here. Really unhappy as the noise was unacceptable when used with my Cannon Rebel T2i

Only if the IR filter on the camera is not active. When the camera IR is on the filter is not active. You can hear the click as it moves out the way.

i hear this "beeping" as i describe it, as well, and have found others on youtube that experience this as well with this camera, it is quite annoying, although its not nearly as loud as you make it seem.. most people dont notice it even, but once you do it is quite annoying... i wondered if i got a defective unit but after finding many others that also have this it seems to be just how the camera is , i still have 20 some days to return it and i probably will because of this, oh well.

If you hear a click before and after focus and release the shutter in your camera is totally normal....switch the VR off and you will notice that the click disappears...not big deal is totally normal...actually i have a few lenses that click in some way when the VR or OS or VC is ON....for me the results are that really matters...however..without the Vr if the noise of "click" is there then you should call nikon or if you can return for an exchange....good luck...I have thus lens and i made an extensive research about it...plus, I have another lenses like the 105 sigma OS macro and tamron 70-300 VC that some way make some "click" when the VC,OS, or VR is on...

The audio was great until recently. I've not used my camera all that much since receiving it as a gift about 2 years ago. I recorded less than 30 videos. But this week when I made a video after a few months of little or no use, the audio has a clicking static sound that's louder than the audio track itself. Very annoying, and it ruined birthday video shots. I checked out different recommendations to ensure the battery was fully charged, reload the system software, and it didn't help. I can only use this camera to record video and will have to create a sound track if I decide to keep it. I can make decent videos with my point and shoot digital SLR and the sound is okay on those. Too bad; until this happened I really liked my FLIP HD camera.

I never had any problems with mine, still works perfectly. On the camera, there is there is switch option, as enter the camers the switch is @ top right hand, you will find a a camera symbol click to switch to your desired option. If it fails you know its faulty.

I have a low static on mine in one room, but not another. On my old camera the room that currently has the static also had it.

I haven't noticed noise from the shutter, but there is some noise when the camera is turned on - I suspect from the sensor cleaning unit. Noise, however, is not usually an issue since I shoot mostly outside.

I don't think this unit cycles between cameras. You have to manually select which camera you want to view.

Mine started doing this as well, and then, when it did fire, it would fire a second shot on its own a second or two later. Sent it to Nikon for repair (out of warranty by a few months). Projected cost to "clean and check" was more than half the cost of a new camera. So, I got a new (and different brand) camera. I don't think I'd recommend this camera to others.
