Angelcare AC401 Baby Movement Sensor Pad and Sound Monitor

Technology has evolved a long way since our parents’ days and now we can keep tabs on the little one with devices like the Angelcare AC401. Baby monitors are a real blessing nowadays, allowing parents to easily keep an eye on their baby. No more will entire days be wasted in watching over the cradle while other chores pile up. The AC401 does an excellent job in performing surveillance duties.

As you may have noticed, this system does not come with a cam. It is not necessary, because the Angelcare monitor provides accurate information about the baby’s movements and sounds. False alarms are not a concern with this unit, and when something does happen, like the baby stopped making any sounds or moving for 20 seconds, you will be automatically notified.

Speaking of false alarms, if the child has caught a cold, under normal settings, the alarm would go off like crazy. Thankfully, you can adapt the sensitivity levels of the monitor and movement pad to cope with any situation like that. The sound quality, however, is superb in any case. The signal is very strong, and even if you have other devices using radio waves, or walls with bunker thickness, that will not be felt at your end of the reception.

The sensor pad is also something that should inspire other manufacturers as well. It is simply grand, and it is actually able to discern when the baby is up to something, or if the source of vibrations comes from somewhere else. Who would want a sensor pad that picks up the vibrations of the neighbor’s subwoofer?

The Angelcare monitor comes with the extra option of informing you if the temperature of the baby’s room goes up or down over a fixed limit. Naturally, you are the one who is able to set that limit.

The initial setup will require a thorough read of the instructions manual the AC401 comes with. But that is by no means something bad. After all, that is why manuals are provided, plus, the wellbeing of a baby is at stake. Do not leave anything to chance and carefully browse the manual. It’s not even that thick, so in a few minutes, this task will be over and done with.

The Angelcare AC401 baby monitor is, overall, a fine price of equipment, packing quality, durability and efficiency in a box that will not leave your wallet empty.
