The Angelcare Movement & Sound Monitor can help to give you reassurance whilst your little one is asleep. The SensorPad monitors your baby's slightest movements and will sound an alarm if no movement has been detected for 20 seconds. It has plenty of other features too: optimal sound quality, full colour LCD digital display, portable and rechargeable parent unit, continuous or sound activated transmission and all the alarm functions you can think of.

Angelcare was the first company worldwide to introduce the SensorPad technology. The technology has been taken from the medical sector and adapted and improved for home usage. The SensorPad is placed under the mattress and monitors baby's slightest movements. An alarm will sound after 20 seconds if no movement is detected. The SensorPad is suitable for most types of mattresses (except memory foam). One SensorPad is sufficient for each bed type and size (see instructions for correct placement). Customers should be aware that this monitor is specifically designed for the UK and the warranty will become invalid if shipped abroad.

There are two types of baby monitor, analogue and digital. Digital monitors use newer technologies to aid parents in taking care of their babies giving them a little bit of an edge against other analogue baby monitors. When it comes to audio and video baby monitors, quality offered by digital technology is excellent as it provides clearer reception compared to analogue. Digital receivers; whether a microphone or a camera, are also more sensitive to sound and visuals respectively making it an ideal option for parents.

One problem of analogue baby monitors is the fact that there are instances when neighbours can actually tap in to the signal of your baby monitors and listen. It also means, if signals cross paths then the user can also pick up external interference like the neighbours cordless phone for example! With the digital technology, privacy is kept since it broadcasts private signals that only the user, have access to.

Another problem often associated with analogue baby monitors before is the range. There is no total mobility since parents can easily get out of range from the baby unit. But with digital monitors, the range of the devices has been extended making it more possible for the parents to roam around the house without worrying of getting out of range.
