Does this work as a baby monitor to listen to baby cry also or just sounds?

No, it doesn't work as a monitor. It's just one unit, there is no receiver to listen to on the other end. If you're looking for a basic monitor I recommend the Sony Baby Call Nursery Monitor NTM-910YLW. A friend gave us this model and it works wonderfully. The volume is great, if you want to you can crank it up and hear every little breath! Otherwise, I'd look for a video monitor, most people prefer to see as well as hear so they don't have to go check on baby, potentially disturbing them.

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.

We used a white noise app for our iPod touch on a speaker system in our son's room, and also occasionally one of those bears that play a heart beat. This monitor did NOT filter out the white noise app, but it was kind of nice, because then we got white noise too, and it still picked up our son when he cried. If on voice activation with the bear, it would tend to switch on and off, which was more distracting for us while trying to sleep.

Sorry for the delay, my internet has been acting up. I bought this for my son's new addition who hasn't arrived yet. He had hooked up a camera to veiw the baby via the internet on his phone but it had no sound. I had bought my daughter a video monitor system and I really liked that. I would think either one you go with will give you peace of mind with a new baby around. Best of luck and congratulations!

No, but it would work perfectly fine other than not having audio. So if you just want to view, it would work. Most baby monitors would be wireless and let you carry around something that has audio / video. With this system, you'd have to wire the camera to the room, only have video, but can watch the video on a mobile device.

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.

I use it to connect monitor from my laptop. My monitor has no audio so I couldn't say about audio.

If you are asking will this allow you to watch an elderly person from another room, yes. If you are asking if an elderly person will be able to use this monitor to watch over a baby, also a yes as this is an easy monitor to use.

No, but if one kid/baby is crying, screaming, etc, that camera automatically comes up. Mine scans between 3 cameras, and its on all night, I've never missed a crying kid even when 2 are crying at same time.

Yes. We are using it to monitor our puppies. Works great. Even in black and white night vision mode. The two way audio is great too. Obviously you'd need to keep the app open all the time to use as a real time baby monitor. We use it for quick checks of the puppies when we are at home or away. Only complaint, it only allows one person to log into the app at a time.

If I have two cameras and one handheld monitor.. can I hear both babies in each separate room at the same time or do I have to switch between cameras to hear each room to know if one of the babies is crying?

You will hear the sound for whichever camera you are viewing. there is a "scan" option and it will automatically flip through the cameras you have set up, and the sound will rotate as well. You can NOT listen to one camera and view the a different one. But the scan feature works well for watching and hearing kids in different rooms, no one will be crying for more than a minute if not seconds before you hear them.

Yes... my hubby and I tried it out and we were in two seperate rooms (right next to each other) and could hear each other fine when I would speak directly into the monitor, but when we sat it on my daughter's dresser we couldn't hear her cry.... we would have to put it in her crib to hear her. My house is pretty small so for us to be able to hear her cry better without using the monitor says alot. Maybe there was something wrong w/ mines, all I know is I wouldn't buy it again!

jesSc hi, just received my baby monitor and to answer you're question its seems perty good for a baby monitor. its well worth it.

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 ...

It won't work properly if the surface baby is on isn't motionless (ie in car or bouncer). I'm a bit appalled by all the parents that say they are relying upon it in these places. Monitor works via a motion sensor!

I would not use it for a baby. We use our system for intercom between our office and a classroom. You can not hear anything if both parties are not using it.
