How does the monitor show both cameras? Does it cycle back and forth or does the screen split to see both at the same time?

It goes to each camera it is aligned to on a 30 second cycle. Or you can set it to one camera

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.

All the previous answers are correct. This is a great system, you wont be disappointed. The newer version isn't as good either, don't be fooled.

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.

If you have two to four cameras you can set the monitor to a scan setting and the monitor switches cameras about every 10 seconds, both visual and audio. If you have only two cameras it will scan all 4 channels and get no signal on 2 of them for the first few times and then only scan between the 2 working cameras.

Each camera has a quater of the screen.Or you can view each camera whole screen. Not using audio so don't know

The camera only does one at a time at the monitor. If you push a button on the monitor it switches to the other camera. My camera and monitor have to go back as they are not working and I just bought it in the fall last year. The video was pretty good, but was grainy at 30 to 40 percent of the time. The unit is solid as far as casing. Hope this helps.

There are two inputs. The cord is Red = Power, Yellow = Video1, White =Video2. However, I don't think you can toggle between the two inputs if both cameras are on. If I turn on only Video 1, then Video 1 displays. If I turn on only video 2, then Video 2 displays. If I turn on both Videos, then only Video 2 displays. There are only 3 buttons on the LCD and a short menu, but I couldn't find any combo to swap between Video 1 and 2 when they are both on.

There is a scan feature where it changes from each room like every 10 seconds or so. It's very helpful. I think some models/brands do a split screen, but not this one. We have two cameras and it's very helpful.

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

Same as the other answers. This is a portable monitor. Everything that it shows is driven by another external device, laptop, camera etc.

No, multiple cameras can be linked to the same monitor but only one monitor can be linked to a camera.

I believe it only has the 4-way split screen so even if your only using 2 cameras the 4-way screen still appears and 2 will be blank. You can choose either camera so the whole screen is one camera still but it wont rotate from one to the other like some others will do. I ended up returning this monitor because the picture was sooo bad i couldn't tell where my daughter was in her bed.

Well... It has only one bnc input, and you can still see 4 or 16 or as many cameras as you want, it is the dvr where the info is coming from. In other words, you connect cameras to dvr and the dvr to monitor. The dvr sets the number of cameras that you can view... Hope it helps, good luck

This monitor is usually connected to a DVR with either VGA or video output and a separate audio connection if needed. When connected to a DVR the limit of how many cameras can be viewed is determined by the DVR.Monitor works well with VGA connected.

I haven't tried doing this, but if you attract one camera in front and one in back, you should be able to tap ( I believe it's the little green button on the side of the monitor). I also would use the camera with the antenna in front, so u should be able to check your front and back. ( FYI make sure both camera r turned on). Hopes this helps if not let me know I will be using my this weekend.Beth

If you purchase extra camera then you be be able to use auto scan feature which scans between the two cameras every 8 seconds. This auto scan feature happens automatically, not manual. However, you can manually switch to other camera view at any time. Volume will be heard for camera being shown on monitor screen at that time. Hope this helps. Overall a great monitor for the price.

All u have to do is to switch on the second/additional camera then it will be added automatically to your monitor. Then, for viewing it, on the backside of the monitor u will find a switch that has 4 clicks (1 to 4), the first camera will be assigned automatically to number "1". The second one will be for number "2", just switch it to number "2" and then you will be able to view the additional installed Camera :-).Best Regards,Khalid Aljowder

Lori, it appears that the unit which you mention here does not have a monitor with it. The set up I originally purchased had a monitor with it which had the capability of running two cameras. These monitors can be purchased separately, and are normally not too awful expensive. You would do best to purchase at least a 7" monitor, as this will give you the best viewing area. Although most monitors are compatible with most cameras, make sure the one you choose is compatible with your camera. It should list the types of cameras it will support of the description of the unit. Hope this info helps. Don
