 Simple. Easy to install. Works great. January 5, 2009
No idea what the complaints about the ticking noise are. I just plugged mine in and have been using it with the factory settings for months. Works great, no problems. As everyone else said it is a great product and a huge relief to have it when you have an early rolling tummy sleeper like our son. I've had mine for five months now and I'd recommend it to anyone - in fact, I'm on this site now to buy one for my brother and his wife who had a new baby this morning.
 Great for infants. . .once they move in their sleep, is another story! January 5, 2009
This was a HUGE piece of mind when we had our son over a year ago!! However, some warnings for those purchasing this; 1. once our son started rolling over, the alarm would go off (yah, it's working! however, night after night, we decided to disable that feature, as he kept rolling close to the railings on the bed). The sensor pad is great, however, it doesn't detect movement from all around. Also, during the summer, whenever we have his ceiling fan on, it created enough movement to have his decorative blanket hit the side of the mattress (therefore creating enough movement for the alarm not to go off - we found this out by accidentially leaving the monitor on after we took him out of his crib). 2. Sometimes in the middle of the night, we get our neighbor's children crying, vs. ours. We switch between "A" and "B" on the monitor, however sometimes that does not help. :o) We live on a 1/4 acre lot, so we're not "that" close to neighbors . . . close enough, I guess :o)
Other than these two things, this was a good monitor for the peace of mind it gave us during the "SIDS" age of greatest concern.
Angelcare may have saved our baby January 4, 2009
We weren't lucky enough to have this monitor with our first child, and I don't think I slept through the night until she was over 1 year old - even though she was sleeping well from a young age. I was so worried about SIDS that I would sneak into her room a few times a night to put my hand on her chest and make sure she was breathing. Not wanting to experience this worry again, this time we bought the Angelcare monitor. My son was a wiggly baby from the start, and would manage to wedge himself into the corner of his crib, often flipping face down and ramming his nose into the bumper. I took the bumper out, and he freaked. He wanted to have his face pressed into something soft, and would not sleep without it. Thankfully we had the Angelcare. I would put him down at bedtime, and not go in again unless he woke up. I never felt the urge to peak, even though I knew that he would be smashed up against that bumper. We had a couple of false alarms with it, mostly when one of us took him out of the crib and forgot to turn it off. One night though, it went off and I walked in to check on him. He was on his back, not crammed in the corner for once. Out of habit I put my hand on his chest...no breathing....I put my finger under his nose...no breaths! I patted him a few times, and still nothing. Now considerably freaked out, I picked him up and he coughed a couple times and started breathing again. Thank goodness for the Angelcare monitor! I don't know if he would have started breathing again on his own or not, but I don't care. If there was even the smallest chance that this monitor saved my son's life, I am eternally grateful. We have had minimal problems with it. The temp is within a couple degrees of what a thermometer says, and even though the sound quality isn't the best, it is more than enough. I don't know why there isn't some kind of government grant or something to provide and Angelcare to every baby. The minor annoyances of false alarms are nothing compared to the security it provides.
I thank God for this product January 3, 2009
As first time parents, we got this product mainly for peace of mind. My husband thought that it was gimmicky, but was all for it so I would feel better. However, as time went on, we both became more and more impressed with how the monitor worked. Our daughter is 10 weeks old and she has not laid down for so much as a nap without the monitor being turned on.
I never thought that this monitor would be used for anything other than peace of mind. However, in the middle of the night a few nights ago, the alarm went off. My husband and I jumped up and ran to her room. Our daughter wasn't breathing. My husband shook her and yelled for her to wake up. We performed CPR and she finally started to stir.
I truly believe that this product saved my daughter's life. The ER doctor told us buying this monitor was the best money we've ever spent. I have to agree.
As for a review of the monitor: We have never had any false alarms. We've never had a problem with static or interference. There are only two things that I have found to be less than perfect: 1. The temperature on the display seems to always be a few degrees off. 2. The low battery beep is the same as the 15 second warning beep, which caused us to run to the crib once in the middle of the night in a panic. No biggie- I just keep the monitor in the base at night now.
I thank God that we bought this monitor for our precious baby girl.
Well designed and high quality -- highly recommended December 10, 2008

We bought this monitor for our newborn. My first impression was that the components are all very well made. They're very sturdy, and the displays are very clear and easy to read. The range is also very good. I'd heard that these movement sensor monitors can be a bit finicky in that they occasionally won't detect the baby's movement and then will scare both the baby and the parents. I haven't encountered that problem with this monitor however, and in fact, the monitor seems to be very accurate at detecting when there is even the slightest movement in the crib.
The overall design is also very intelligent. Each parent unit has its own charger, so you can keep them in different parts of the house (eg: family room and bedroom). The parent units can also warn you when they are out of range, rather than just going silent like many other baby monitors will. The parent units also use standard NiMH AA batteries, so if you forget to leave one in the charging cradle you can swap out the batteries. (Just be carful not to use non-rechargables and then put it back in the charging cradle!) The system is also very configurable (though this aspect is a little complicated).
My only complaint is that I wish there was an easy way to silence the parent units when removing the baby from the crib. If the movement sensor is enabled and the baby is removed from the crib for more than 20 seconds the movement alarm will sound. You can avoid this by completely turning off the base station, but then the parent units will complain that the base station is "out of range" unless you also turn them off. It would be nice if the base station could instead tell the parent units to go into some sort of "standby mode" so we wouldn't have to coordinate turning the parent units on and off with the base station.
Other than that one minor gripe, I'd highly recommend this product, especially for very young babies as the movement sensor can give a lot of peace of mind.
