No, it does not block out white noise. We recommend placing the white noise machine further away from the camera than the baby to help reduce interference.

There are three sensor alarms: Sound Detection, Motion Detection, and Temperature Detection (found in Camera Settings). Additionally, there are Disconnection and Timer alarms. All five will wake the monitor screen from sleep.

• If the screen is OFF and VOX (Sound Detection) is Disabled: Video is off, Audio remains active.
• If the screen is OFF and VOX is Enabled: Both Video and Audio are off. They only activate if noise exceeds the threshold.
• If Motion or Temperature detection is enabled: Any activation will wake the screen and restore Video/Audio.

* "x" means irrelevant (setting does not affect outcome).

Press M > Right (Camera Settings) > Select Camera (if multiple) > Down to "Sound Detection" > Press OK to turn ON/OFF.

3000 / 20 / 5 = 30 ft range.
