Angelcare AC1300 digital video, movement and sound Baby monitor

- This monitor is great for peace of mind, you're alerted of the sensor pad doesn’t detect movement / breathing.
- As well as this you can use the video and sound monitor for extra reassurance.
- Can be used with or without sensor pad.

- Unfortunately the battery life on the parent unit is really bad, after a few months of using it it needs to be constantly plugged in.
- The camera quality isn’t the best, it’s quite pixelated however it’s still good enough to see your little one wriggling around.
- Sensor pad is quite big so didn’t fit in our Moses basket.
- Can only be used with certain mattresses.

I got this as really wanted the sensor mat, however
The sensor mat was perfect and worked really well but the parent monitor seems to have a problem. Our parent monitor slowly stopped holding charge until it wont even turn on unless plugged in, only 8 months old.

We purchased the angelcare because we wanted a monitor with a sensor mat. The sensor mat was perfect and worked really well but the parent monitor seems to have a problem. Our parent monitor slowly stopped holding charge until it wouldn't even turn on unless plugged in. We complained and received a replacement but within a few weeks we had the same problem. Really disappointed as we expected better quality from angelcare.

There are many things wrong with this product. The picture quality could be clearer (considering the quality you get on mobiles) the battery life is poor - you almost have to train the battery to last by letting it go dead every now and again (again considering the battery life on mobiles, this could be so much better). The lead for the movement mat isn't that long so it's awkward trying to find suitable places to put the monitor. But despite all this when the movement monitor alarm goes off because your little one has stopped breathing and you can get to them quickly and can save them - the mat is 100% worth it.

As safety conscious parents this monitor ticked all of the boxes. The sensor pad is great, although the quality and battery life on the monitor screen is quite poor. I would probably recommend getting a movement pad and camera separately.

I love this angel care monitor. Its great being able to see my little girl as well as hear, she occasionally wakes up but is very quiet so would worry about her getting up to mischief without camera. Lots of settings for screen time, sound, brightness. Easy to use. Great product

An expensive monitor system however when compared with other brands not that expensive. A monitor that doesn't just have sound it allows you to watch your babies via the video monitor and gives an added peace of mind with the sensor mats especially useful for premature or babies with medical issues. Absolutely loved ours and used it for over two years.
Read reviews on the sensor mat being over sensitive and alarming when baby moved off it - we never had this issue and mine moved about her cot constantly

i purchased this monitor after a lot of research. The alarm / sensor pad is brilliant parents piece of mind as baby goes into their own room. The monitor shows temperature and has great picture quality!
I love this monitor and would defiantly recommend!

We have this since my little girl was born , really give me relieve to sleep at night safe as the movement monitor is great and reliable. The sound and video is great as well,only thing I miss is that you can't rotate the camera at all, while lots of other baby monitors do it for the same price, it's the only down side. Other than that I really love to use it.

We were brought this as a gift and would highly recommend! The alarm / sensor pad is brilliant for worrisome parents as baby goes into their own room. The monitor shows temperature and brilliant picture quality!

After much research we bought this monitor due to clarity of the screen display, ability to zoom in and that it had sensor pads.

This monitor is easy to use with a simply menu on the screen. The screen has a chargeable battery with a reasonable life meaning you can go outside if needed or carry it around with you. This is really handy.

I have been disappointed with the limited signal range of this which is my only criticism.

The bottom of the camera part of this product clips onto generic mounts meaning you can always get a good angle of baby when sleeping.

To be aware the green light on the camera attracts my baby’s attention so I’ve had to cover it!

Best monitors around! Absolutely brilliant. Easy to use nice clear picture of your baba! Loud enough to hear also! My only problem is the camera doesn’t twist round as my baby is wriggler in the night! But stands up perfectly on the shelf with full view of baby. Up until a few days ago when the weather was hot, the monitor beeped On my monitor to warn me baby’s bedroom was over 30 degrees which I never knew it did this!! 100% recommend to anyone! Best monitors on the market!

Cannot recommend this monitor enough! It is simple and easy to set up and use. The picture quality is great, you can zoom in. Great peace of mind we have used this monitor from 3months and has been great. It is quite pricey but is definitely worth the money as it is great quality. The camera only moves slightly and you have to position it as you cannot adjust the camera angle much. Great product!! And highly recommend!

This monitor really does give you peace of mind however the false alarms do make you jump up!! Nice and easy to set up and use just plug and go! Good size monitor gives a nice clear picture of baby only downside is the price which puts it out of a lot of peoples range and also that you cant adjust the camera from the monitor or talk to baby through the monitor.

Love this monitor! I put my daughter in her own room at 10 weeks and gives me such peace of mind knowing she has the mat to tell me if anything was to happen. Think it’s such a good idea and always recommend this monitor.

I was recommended this product from a friend but wish that I had gone for a different one. I thought I would really love the sensor pad for peace of mind, but it has gone off two or three times for no reason which has left me in such a panic thinking that my little one had stopped breathing! I think she had just rolled off the pad but in that moment of the alarm going off you automatically fear the worst.
It's not the easiest to turn on, with a little button being behind one of the "wings", and sometimes it needs to be pressed and held two or three times before it clicks on. This can be excruciating when you've just spent ages getting your baby to sleep and want to escape the room as quickly and quietly as possible!
Also if you've forgotten to pause the angel when you pick up your little one if they have woken, the alarm automatically goes off which can wake your little one up even more..lt also flashes the night light when it s paused which is quite bright and can also wake your baby up even more.
For me the most annoying thing is that you can't adjust the position of the camera from the monitor. So if it has moved slightly and you don't realise until you are back downstairs, in order to adjust the camera you would have to go back into the room and manually move it into the right position.

Our son was very sick when he was born and was in hospital for months before coming home. So we needed a system that would give us peace of mind that our little boy was safe and sound in his bed at night. This was a life saver. It’s vet sensitive and can sense your babies breathing. We couldn’t have lived without it.

I love this baby monitor, I borrowed an older model without the video, but when they needed it back I bought this one and the video camera is an added bonus as you check on your baby without disturbing them.

The apnea alarm is a great feature and a great peace of mind when you son is being investigated for sleep apnea.

The down side to this monitor is you can’t turn off the baby unit if you need to pick up your child without the parent unit alarming and the pause button beeps approx. every minute.

My brother and his wife had an angle care monitor and recommended the brand very highly, we decided after much research I would like to have a monitor when I can see baby and also have a sensor pad installed first time mum and all that, so we bought this product at first it was brilliant we were able to put baby in there Moses basket upstairs while I cleaned downstairs result and when he moved into his own room I could check on him before I switched the lights off to sleep myself, however from the first few month the battery life has deteriorated drastically we not have to have it all plugged into the mains at all times which at times is taxing. But that compares nothing to the two mini heart attacks this monitor has caused me, one where I was alone and the monitor sensor to say baby wasn't breathing went off the other when my partner was there and baby hadn't moved off the sensor pad it had just not picked him up and it was awful really scary moment, if I was to go back I would avoid this product on the point that the battery is appalling and that it seriously caused me two mini heart attacks and a near miss at a broken toe due to racing into my sons room when the alarm was going off, the pictures also isn't great compared to my friends motorola monitor.

Definitely one of our best buys. This monitor has given us so much reassurance for our first baby. In the earlier days it gave me the chance to have a much longed for shower, now it’s constant reassurance during the night whilst our daughter is in her own room. Aesthetically very nice, easy to use & clear picture. The only thing that’s would be handy is a stand for it to balance on or attach too. But other than that it’s a perfect product.

The sensor pad is the best part of this monitor. The camera doesn’t angle well. The nursery part does not move around easily and can not be placed easily on a variety of surfaces. There are not as many functions as on other monitors. The on/off buttons are not easy to find when tired and dealing with a screaming baby.

We decided to get this monitor because of the sensor mat and the video. Sadly my partners family have suffered from cot death so we were extremely paranoid. But with this mat we can now sleep with ease knowing that we will be alerted if my baby stopped breathing. Makes you feel that little bit more secure.

Total in love with this baby monitor! So simple to set up and gives you peace of mind that your baby is totally fine a sleep. Brilliant life video feed no delays! Even when the lights are off! Sound quality is great you can clearly hear even little squeak and moan. With temperature display saves on other cost. I love the fact you can have the monitor turned on in the night without the video feed, gives me a chance to sleep and I know I don't have to worry about my little man a slept next to me in his moses basket. I know I'll have peace of mind and the security to rest and not have the worry most have. Only wee moan I do have is when the baby monitor is not plugged in it does not last hours on end, but can be used with the charger which has a long lead.
I agree it is a little on the expensive side but even of your on a budget I would splash out like me on this, it is 100% worth it.

Brought this as a first time mum. Love the fact that it's easy to use and the combination of video, sound and movement sensor gives added peace of mind. Good price and good quality image day and night. Rouse alert is a good little touch to save waking the baby by going in the room. My son has sleep apnea so regularly sets off the rouse alarm but it effectively resets his natural rhythm. Only fault is the battery life isn't very good I'm on my second monitor and I've found now with this one it needs to be plugged in most of the time when in use.

This is a fantastic monitor for a first time parent. It has completely put my mind at ease and really helped in those first few weeks.
When he looks fed to his own room it kept me reassured that he was ok. This is one product I couldn’t survive without
