Monitor Transmits Sound up to 820 feet

The Angelcare Sound Monitor allows parents and caregivers to listen to their child's sounds. Whether you choose continuous sound monitoring or the voice-activated option, the sound monitor offers a range of up to 820 feet. The "out of range" indicator lets you know when connection is lost between parent and nursery unit.

Eight Channels for Clearer Sound

The monitor works on eight channels and 927 MHz frequency for a clearer, more reliable sound quality. You can also adjust the microphone sensitivity on the nursery unit and customize volume level on the parent unit. A handy low-battery indicator lets you know when it's time to charge or replace the batteries.

Battery Option with Power Failure Backup

The Monitor's Nursery Unit can be plugged in with the AC adapter or run on four AAA batteries (not included). The parent unit uses four NIMH rechargeable batteries (included) and can be recharged on its stand with an AC adapter. In case of power failure, the two units will automatically switch to battery power.

Convenient Features for Parent and Baby

The easy-to-use Sound Monitor is great for use around the house. Featuring a convenient belt clip, the parent unit includes a nursery temperature display and sound indicator lights. The nursery unit's night-light provides a pleasant glow for your child's room.

The Angelcare Sound Monitor is backed by a manufacturer's limited one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, NO static! August 20, 2010

By Sam Archer VINE™ VOICE

Bought this as a replacement for the Fisher-Price Sounds 'N Lights Dual Receiver Monitor M5578 which was horrible because of static and poor sound sensitivity.

This monitor has been among the best I've ever used (I've had many over the last 6 years).

PROS:

1. Very sensitive. There is a sensitivity control on the back of the base station which works great. You can even hear the kids breathing or whispering. The Fisher-Price would only work if my kid was screaming.

2. NO static or interference. Finally, a monitor that doesn't pick up stray radio programs or endless clicking and static. There can be a slight buzz if it's searching for a new channel but that's it. The Fisher-Price would buzz when trucks drove by or airplanes flew overhead, but this monitor doesn't do that.

3. Has multiple channels to select from to give you the clearest signal. Great if your neighbors have the same monitor so you don't listen to each other.

4. Excellent range. Good for at least 75 feet in my experience. Will even warn you if out of range.

5. Receiver uses rechargeable batteries which you can change yourself. You can upgrade the batteries if you want them to last longer, but this hasn't been a problem for me. Has lasted at least two days without needing recharge.

CON:

Only comes with one receiver. Most monitors come with two. You can get two if you buy the motion sensitive pad which I didn't need/want.

BOTTOM LINE:

Almost the perfect baby monitor. No static, good range, very sensitive, and lots of usable features.

3.0 out of 5 stars No static, but several small problems August 29, 2011

By Leo Dirac

It does the basics of what it's supposed to do quite well. It lets you listen to what's going on in your baby's room very clearly. The radio transmission is reliably free of static, even in our house with way too much metal in the walls. I would have expected that if it did this well (which it does), that's all I need in a baby monitor. Turns out there are so many other small problems with it that I have mixed feelings about it.

First off, it's really quiet. Even with the volume turned all the way up, you can't hear baby's small wimpers that indicate she's starting to wake up, unless the room where you're listening from is nearly silent. Other baby monitors are so loud they're fine to use in rooms with several people holding a conversation. This one you need to pay extra attention to. With other baby monitors this wouldn't be a deal breaker, because there's usually a visual indicator of the volume level too.

The Angelcare also has a visual indication of the volume level in the room. But the color LCD display is very difficult to read because it has a tiny viewing angle. If the monitor is on a table, and you're standing, the display always appears to have all of its indicators on. (All bars, 88 in the number display.) You need to be almost at eye level with it, or have it pointing straight at you to be able to read it. So you can't count in using the visual display to see when baby's waking up either. I prefer the kinds which have bright lights that tell you there's something going on that you can see even in the middle of a rock concert.

Also, the out of range feature is simply bizarre. Most baby monitors will start complaining loudly to you if they lose signal and are no longer tracking what's going on in baby's room. Angelcare has this feature, but implemented in a way that I don't understand at all and makes it somewhat dangerous. There's a switch on the transmitter unit (the one in baby's room) which says whether or not the out-of-range alarm should be active. The parent / listening unit has no indication whether the alarm is active or not. So if you take the monitor out of range, the alarm might sound telling you that you're out of range, or the monitor might remain silent with no indication that anything is wrong. No indication at all. There isn't even an icon telling you that the out of range alarm is disabled. Again, let me emphasize something because it makes no sense. This isn't a switch you throw on the listening unit to make it shut up because it's annoying you that you're out of range, maybe because you know and don't care. It's a switch on the baby's room unit. Moreover, the switch is easy to move by mistake, and doesn't even light a light or anything saying it's gone into dangerous mode. I have taped mine into safe mode.

Aside from these problems it's got neat features. Seeing the temperature in the baby's room is kinda nice. The rechargeable batteries it comes with are nice. The sound quality is good. It does the basics right, but is flawed in the features.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Monitor!! October 21, 2010

By Bigmac

I bought this monitor based on others reviews. I was perfectly happy with the monitor I had and when it died, I planned to buy the same one. Since it was no longer being sold, I had to find a new one. This monitor is great! The night light on the nursery unit is great. Gives a great amount of light and my son loves to turn it off and on. The belt clip in the receiver leaves a lot to be desired but, it is tolerable because the product is awesome. No static at all.
