We have a sound machine in baby's room. Does this monitor block out ambient noise and detect variable noise (baby cries) in the room

My son also has a music and projector in his room anf when he cries I hear him like he was right next to the monitor and they are both plugged into the same outlet and next to each other

We use white noise too and our daughters cries still come through loud and clear.

My son also has a music/projector in his room and they are next to each other and I can hear him perfectly :-)

It does not block out noise from sound machines. We have one in my sons room and hear a constant white noise coming from this monitor. We can still hear him fine though.

Yes, you can omit the music/noise, and just have the movement with a very dim light behind it. This option is excellent for training a child to enjoy silence or when the baby is sharing a room.

you have the Voice activated feature enabled, if there is a sound in the room the monitor will turn on so you can hear and see what is going on. you can hold the vol+ and Brightness+ to toggle this setting on and off. it also might be helpful to read the manual this and a few other features are covered that you will only learn about by reading the manual or the web. http://infantoptics.com/DXR-5_Main.php manual is at the bottom of the page.

I would think so, but I'm not sure. Unless you can put them on different channels, you wouldn't know which kid was making the noise. I wouldn't buy these again anyway. The parent unit frequently loses the signal from the baby unit and makes an annoying beeping sound. It's frustrating when that's what wakes you up in the middle of the night.

One of the " white noise" settings does sound like a heart beat, similar to what you hear on an ultrasound and what the baby hears in the womb. We have had this machine for several months and love it.

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.

Yes, you just have to remember to turn the monitor off. I like the monitor that only detects movement because the off/on switch stays in the baby's room. It is easy to turn off if you forget (I nurses baby in her room). You can use a regular sound monitor with it (or my baby's room is close enough to our room I really don't use a sound monitor at all because I can hear the alarm without it). This monitor still amazes me. Best thing I have ever bought - gives me such peace of mind.

I have one from 2011, as long as they haven't changed it, you hear static the whole time. The only way to not have it is cut sound off completely, but then you don't hear baby. It hasn't bothered us because we like white noise to sleep.

Not necessarily...the way it works is that the monitor goes on "sleep" mode, and when it hears a sound from the child, it turns back on...the screen and the sound. So it will stay off as long as the child is quiet.

It's same here, there is a background static, can be loud if there are other sounds. But audio quality is pretty good, camera detects and counts every sound made by baby.

Yes. It has a light sensor that gets brighter if it gets louder in the room. The camera has a mic, and the monitor has a speaker with volume control. It works great. We still use ours, and it is a guaranteed great investment. Very still satisfied customer with this purchase.

I've never used this feature, but to answer you question my husband turned on the music. Apparently each of the 5 songs plays for about 30 seconds and then plays again,and again, and again for approximately 20 minutes. You select which song you want to play. I hope this answers your question. The monitor is really a sanity saver because it lets me do some things while the baby sleeps. One more thing, don't expect to see anything on the screen in bright sunshine. It is completely washed out in that kind of light, but well worth having outside because you can hear the baby when he wakes up. I wouldn't be without it.

There is a little but it really is not loud. I still can actually hear my baby breathing. I would think that the static might be related to distance. The further away from the baby's room...If you are on a poor frequency...may be factors. I have taken the monitor downstairs and outside without static issues. Hope this helps!

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.

Yes! Just place it away from your little one so the sound can fill his or her nursery. I have 2 of these for 2 of my 3 kiddos - all 4 and under. My littlest's one's room is below his autistic big brother's and it's been an amazing relief to have the sound machine! The littlest will sleep through all of the craziness that happens in my eldest's room during "naptime"!

Yes you can choose to have the screen on all the time or have it display for 3 minutes or 5 minutes & then shut off but still hear noises. You just touch the top button to turn the screen back on to check on baby. Yes you can adjust the volume..it has something like 6 levels (not at home so can't check it right now).

I never tried. But it's a decibel measuring device, so it should measure for any noise. I don't think it can isolate specific sounds, though.
