Angelcare Extra Movement Sensor Pad and Nursery Unit, White

Product Information

It wouldn’t have been ideal to have one that ran on either of our mobile phones, so we ruled this out straight away. Hi all, I've just been looking into something similar and seen lots of posts and positive reviews about the snuzahero. It has gone off a few times, mainly when he's rolled off the sensor, but it is worth it as one time there could have been a problem and without it we wouldn't have known. When I first started playing around with the monitor, I didn’t realise this sound setting was activated so didn’t know why the background sound kept cutting out. To zoom, you press the button in the bottom left corner, but it’s not clear how to zoom back out, and there’s nothing about this in the instructions.

Also, please do not place the cot directly against a wall or skirting board as it can detect movements from piping etc.There’s a lot of detail and it seems over-complicated with so many buttons, so set up can take some time. i sometimes forget to switch it off when i get my baby out of the crib and it goes off everytime without fail!

The Angelcare AC527 Baby Movement Monitor with Video and Sound is a more advanced type of baby monitor that offers mums and dads not only the peace of mind of seeing and hearing baby, but also being alerted to any lack of movement through a sensor pad.

Angelcare's nursery unit features a colour-changing room temperature (red for too warm and blue for too cool). I’d have wanted to know that there is no touchscreen or smartphone connectivity, that camera height cannot be adjusted unless the nursery unit is wall mounted and that the parent unit needs recharging every day. But if you decide a movement sensor pad is the right option for you, then the Angelcare AC517 is the best in show. I have been sorely tempted to move lo into the nursery which is right next door to our bedroom, and just keep both doors open, so it's almost as if she is in the same room, but far enough away that we might be able to sleep.On first impressions, I noticed that the monitor doesn’t have too many parts and looks easily portable for travel, although a travel case is not included. However, its height isn’t adjustable so the surface needs to be higher than the cot for the camera to point down into it. I felt that this didn’t last quite long enough – overnight I would leave it on charge or hope for the best. The buttons are also hard to press and don’t light up in the dark – a touch screen would feel more modern and it would be useful if there were onscreen instructions.

We used ours for a few months only but it was worth it as he insisted on tummy sleeping which I hated. Do you already own a different brand of baby monitor but want to add in Movement monitoring for extra peace of mind now baby is here?MFM Parent Tester Lucy also found the sound to be “fantastic”, while fellow parent tester Luke added that the AC327 monitor has “excellent wireless range with no degradation of video or sound quality, enabling me to get on with chores anywhere in the house or garden whilst my baby is napping”. The sound quality is very clear, with just a little crackle when you turn on the talkback function and the volume is adjustable.

Even if you ultimately decide to switch off the sensor pad function, you’ll still be left with a high-performing piece of kit which should last a long time.

The only problem with it on the camera is that it is a very bright light, which seemed to be too bright for my baby! I think the cost is fairly reasonable for a monitor that looks good, is very portable and offers a state-of-the-art movement sensor pad, as well as hi-res colour video and night vision, temperature monitor and 2-way talkback. Take parenting to a whole new level of convenience and cleanliness with Angelcare®'s nappy disposal systems. when my lo was new new born it went off on two seperate occasions and both times he had 'forgotten' to breath and had to be roused (a very scary experience) weather or not he would have been fine anyway i dont know but in my eyes it saved his life!
