[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 632037, member: 968"] That's the only thing with this set up. The receiver only handles 2 cameras. My old system, the receiver handles 4 cameras, but they aren't nearly as good as these new ones. My old one was about $165 - 1 receiver + 1 camera, each additional cameras were $100/each. Bought new ones as Christmas gifts and/or birthday. Wireless but only good for 100'. Old set is Emerson. I'm CHEAP! look for bargains. Bought old set out of a catalog, also. I got a "splitter" because my TV in bedroom only has one set of plug-ins. So both receivers work off the splitter. Just lay in bed & "click - click - click"! Love it :banana: happy camper! I can check every hour or so if I think I need to - and never leave bed. If one goes into labor, I just keep checking, watch most births & check back & make sure calf is up & sucking. ( I DO TAKE AFTERNOON NAPS!! when possible) We put our cows in pens at night (close-up cows) and don't feed them. Therefore, they eat when we turn them out at 5:30AM -- sooo - most of my cows calf at NIGHT. Opposite of what most people want, but for us, hubby is home at night not during the day. So, if there's a problem, he's right here. Both calvings that I needed him were - 1 twins during day (he had to drive home - 20 minutes away) and the full breech which we checked at 5:30AM when we normally get up. She had been messing around since about 4am. [/QUOTE]
