  • bought this as a travel monitor for my baby. Works great. I don't use the pad as she is older and it doesn't work for her anymore. Sep 02, 2022

  • Great video, sound and battery life. Love that the screen stays on but also has the option to shut off if needed. We dont use the movement pad as it starts beeping really loud when baby moves. Oct 22, 2019

  • Awesome monitor. Crystal clear and really easy to set up. Movement monitor was kind of annoying before I figured it out. I love being able to see her and it even keeps sleeping records! Feb 27, 2018

  • Love this! I sleep so much better at night knowing my daughter is being monitored! Jan 26, 2018

  • Good quality picture, love the reassurance of the alarm going off if no baby movements for 20 seconds. Happy for the temperature setting to ensure baby's room is the perfect temperature! Amazing. Dec 29, 2017

  • Very poor video quality. Battery doesn't make it through the night. Movement sensor pad does not work - have the correct mattress and tried everything. Instructions are not thorough-have to go online. Oct 18, 2017

  • Works well, even gives you temp of baby’s room. Gives us piece of mind. Oct 13, 2017

  • In the future, I would spend money on a monitor that has a higher quality picture and camera with a larger viewing range and go without the movement monitor. More of a hassle than reassurance. Aug 22, 2017

  • I love the camera's ability to move- the sensor pad is perfect! I love that you can freeze the alarm for feedings! Jun 01, 2017

    This was cumbersome to use. The camera function was great but the alarm kept going off and we had to spend some time to configure it so it wouldn't blast every 5 seconds. May 13, 2017

    This is a great monitor. I especially love the temperature feature. May 03, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    Love all of the features of the monitor especially the temperature monitor, the mattress sensor, and the parent talk feature. The biggest downside was that it was difficult to setup. May 03, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    The sensor under the mattress works very well and gives us peace of mind. However, you can't adjust the camera angle from the monitor and the zoom feature isn't great. May 01, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    So far our favorite feature is the two-way talk feature and the portability of the monitor - as our child is co-sleeping with us thus far! May 01, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    This monitor gave me piece of mind. The set up took us forever because we couldn't get it to stop beeping at first. It's extremely sensitive. Love the design. Love that the range goes far. Apr 24, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    Not my favorite monitor. Has some great features but not always reliable. Had a lot of false alarms and always forgot to pause the sensor. Loved using the monitor without the sensor pad though!! Apr 24, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    Great audio quality, video could be better and set up/advanced features could be easier to use. Didn't end up using the motion sensor feature very much. Apr 21, 2017

    It was easy to unbox and set up the monitor, comes with basic instructions. The night vision and the refresh rate on this camera is excellent, clarity can be much better. Works well with cribs only! Apr 18, 2017

    The quality of this monitor is excellent. The movement sensor has given me so much reassurance and additional rest know that my baby's breathing and movement is being monitored and he is ok. Impressed Apr 13, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    We'll be sticking with our Nest/Dropcam. The image quality on the Angelcare is much worse and it's harder to use. Not worth the cost. Apr 13, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    The monitor is pretty good. I definitely get peace of mind from having the motion sensor. Other things I like are the quality of the camera and night vision; the ability to zoom in on different parts Apr 12, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    Settings/options, clarity, and peace of mind. This product has given my worried mom brain a little less to worry about. Activity tracking, temps and a wireless sensor pad...what more does one need? Apr 12, 2017

    Easy to set up and use. Great audio (2-way) and it's very portable. Make sure to go to their site for more setup help than the provided guide gives you! Could use a few adjustments but overall, good! Apr 12, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    It gives me a great peace of mind and let's me get more sleep by knowing I'll be alerted if the baby has a problem. Great video and sound quality. Apr 11, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    I love this product! This monitor helps ease some of the worry while the baby is in the other room. I can hear and see my baby wherever I go in the house. The downfall of this product was instructions Apr 10, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    I'm a FTM, and really appreciate the wireless movement sensor feature of this product. The sensor provides me peace of mind when leaving my newborn in his crib while I'm in other parts of my home. Apr 06, 2017

  • I love the peace of mind this monitor provides! My only issue with it is it was a little difficult to mount on the wall, but once I solved that with a shelf I'm satisfied! The screen is a great size! Apr 06, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    Good picture and sound on this monitor. Wireless motion sensor is a nice feature. Touch screen could be more responsive, and thermometer on our unit is inaccurate. Apr 06, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    I love that if the sensor does detect movement that the alarm will sound on both the monitor and camera. That way if the monitor isn't on the alarm will still go off on the camera. Apr 01, 2017

  • (what's this?)

    This is a nice audio/video monitor, but the movement sensor can't be used unless you have a full-size crib. Not practical for those early days home from the hospital when you need more reassurance. Apr 01, 2017
