I installed this kit and it works perfect, my question is if the monitor has two video imputs, what is the second for? can I install a second camera?

I believe so, but don't know you'd switch the inputs..maybe it does it automatically?

The second video input can be used for any video feed you have (Another camera, DVD player, etc.). Most dual input monitors use #2 for the backup camera which will display automatically when shifted into reverse, then return to display input #1 when shifted out.

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.

Hi Monitor2,Yes you can, and make sure to set up only one password for the system and name the cameras in order (Cam1, Cam2 etc...). You will see 2 cameras when you open the IP tools or IP Cam by clicking the 4 window icon.

The unit provides "Quad" view, so you can monitor up to 4 cameras at the same time with single monitor however it does not record in quad view. You need to select auto mode and it will automatically switch from camera to camera and while in motion detect it will record any motion from any camera. So no, you do not need two monitors.

Yes there should have been 2 cameras. The same thing happened to me and I contacted the person and they sent the other one. This seems to be a scheme where they send on and hope no one notices.

I do not use the monitor with multiple cameras attached, but according to the user's manual (page 13 & 14) when you add extra cameras and select the scan mode, it will loop between the cameras every ten seconds.

You can move the cable connection between the cameras. Only one may be connected at a time. The change of connections would be easy, just undo the connector to camera 1 and move the connector to camera 2. I assume that you would have both cables next where the monitor is.

Get the kit with the controller (top module). It's easier to use and should support both of your cameras.

Another camera of the same make and model? Yes. I did that. I bought two sets of cameras and monitors. One monitor for the bedroom and one for my home office for when I was doing homeworks or papers (full time online student at the time). I also set up two cameras, one was set to channel "A" and the other to channel "B", from both monitors I could easily switch between channels at any point in time without much hassle at all. I loved it.

Jason--did you ever find out the answer to your question regarding 2 cameras/1 monitor? I'd like an answer to that as it could be a deal maker or breaker.

Please be more specific. What is it that you are attempting to do? Are you trying to add a monitor? Do you want to view (2) at the same time? Perhaps (1) or the other or both or? I'll be happy to offer assistance once you clarify. :)

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

one HDMI Out, I replaced my video card on the system to have multiple displays, but I get frozen screen if the computer is idle for a while or sometimes just for the heck of it so it seems not sure if its because I added memory or the new video card I added. Hope that helped

I have been running dual monitors on mine for over a year now and have had no problems with it at all.I did not add any video cards or extras at all. Just plugged them in and set them for main and secondary monitors.

We tried... not possible to link up a second monitor to one camera (though you can link up a second camera to an individual monitor). However, we did get a second charger for our monitor (which is portable). We just dock the monitor either upstairs or downstairs, depending on where we are.

I have 2 of these cameras already installed and they work great. I was thinking about adding an additional camera, and want to know how do I connect the new camera to the two other cameras for AC power?

No! The cameras and the monitor are integrated wirelessly and do not allow a different monitor to be substituted or added.
