QuestionI have two cameras with one parent unit. Both rooms have a sound machine and the parent unit continues to pick up sound. But no babies are actually crying. What should I do to fix this?
Asked 6 years ago by Momma.
- Answer Hi - We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the VTech VM4261-2. You may adjust the sound or VOX sensitivity on the unit. The higher the sensitivity level is, the more sensitive it is in detecting sounds from getting transmitted to the Parent Unit. We also recommend that you try relocating the sound machine or the baby unit, preferably away from each other for it not to pick up sounds. Hope this helps! - VTech Support

QuestionIs there a way to set the unit up that it will automatically go to the camera that is making the noise? Or do I have to leave in patrol or split screen?
Asked 6 years ago by Rocky.
- Answer Rocky - The VTech VM4261-2 will not automatically go to the camera where the sound is detected. Instead, when on split view mode, the parent unit beeps and displays Sound detected at CAM # whenever the baby unit detects sounds. Thank you, -VTech Support

QuestionJust want to clarify on another question someone else posted... so when in split screen mode when you have 2 cameras, you don’t actually hear crying if one of the babies is? It looks like the parent unit will only beep? Does it beep more than once? Etc..
Asked 7 years ago by Allie.
- Answer You don't hear right away but it will sound an alert and then switch to the camera where the noise is detected. I believe that is optional.
