It’s easy to position if you have the right surface heights or plan to attach the nursery unit camera to a wall.

The other monitor that you can hear them I might not use as much, but I feel so much better knowing I have the sensor pad for when he is there that will alert us on the chance that he stops breathing. MFM Parent Tester Lucy, who tested the AC327 baby movement monitor with her 8-month-old, stated that she “found it hard to get full coverage of the whole cot on screen”, adding: “I think if you could zoom out more this would help. When the Sensor Pad is in place, proceed to the 4 corner test to set the optimal Sensor Pad sensitivity for your cot. I like that it monitors room temperature within your preferred parameters and alerts you if conditions are too hot or cold for your child. We cut some cardboard to the same shape and size as mattress and cut a whole for the sensor pad to slot in too.

I know that when I am babysitting my eldest niece, I often just watch the baby monitor to check that she is breathing! One where the screen will turn its self off after a set number of seconds or minutes, and another where the sound will turn off if no sound is detected. If the setting is too high the Sensor Pad can continue to detect movement near to the cot such as walking on floorboards, central heating, even something as light as a desktop fan. i sometimes forget to switch it off when i get my baby out of the crib and it goes off everytime without fail!

While the AC327 baby movement monitor controls are pretty simple, MFM Parent Tester Luke found that the parent unit could be improved, stating: “The parent unit is not the best to use, the menu is fiddly, not very intuitive and the instructions for this are not great”, adding: “It lets the product down a little with slow to respond touch buttons and a difficult to navigate menu system making it frustrating to use extra features. My cot had slats under the mattress so my OH bought some woody/cardboardy stuff for shape and size of cot and placed it ontop of the slats and the motion sensor mat goes on top of that, it works fine. It’s also valuable to have an inbuilt thermometer that alerts you to temperature changes according to your specifications. I found that it does tend to last for one night, so you may need to recharge daily unless it's left plugged in via the mains. Also the sound one it beeps on the parent monitor so you can hear it's detecting movement (you can turn this off tho).Also, please do not place the cot directly against a wall or skirting board as it can detect movements from piping etc.

However, I found the movement sensor unnecessary and made me worry more – which is a shame as the camera and picture quality are simply amazing. I've read that you have to cut a piece of wooden board to fit the movement monitors under the mattresses of cots. Was there any background noise or interference when using the Angelcare AC327 Baby Movement Monitor?

The talkback function was also a great feature (especially when our tester needed to tell her other child to get back to bed). I was worried about the power cable being a chocking hazard, though I know it shouldn't be if you install it correctly. When using the AC327 baby movement monitor, I found the wireless Sensor Pad is useful, as is the fact you can recharge both the parent unit and nursery unit. It does and it seems secure enough, but the instruction booklet does warn that it could be picked up by other monitors nearby, and to turn the camera and unit off when not in use.

The shiny white casing could be susceptible to a few scratches, with some online reviewers stating they felt the plastic was going to break, and that it feels “cheap”. yes I quite liked it, but I do admit that I'm quite a nervous mum and would have otherwise been checking up on him every 2 minutes.
