The Angelcare AC527 Baby Movement Monitor with Video is a personal care product designed to monitor the movement of healthy babies, providing parents and caregivers with peace of mind. It is important to note that this product is not intended to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), diagnose, treat, mitigate, cure, or prevent any disease or condition, nor is it a substitute for responsible parental care.
The monitor system consists of a Nursery Unit (baby unit), a Parent Unit (receiver), and a Sensor Pad. The Nursery Unit is equipped with a camera lens, microphone, and speaker, allowing for video and audio monitoring of the baby. It also features a temperature indicator to help maintain a comfortable environment for the baby. The Parent Unit, a portable receiver, displays the video feed, allows for two-way talk-back, and provides various alerts and settings. The Sensor Pad, placed under the baby's mattress, detects subtle movements on the mattress surface.
The primary function of the Angelcare AC527 is to monitor a baby's movement and provide alerts if no movement is detected for a specified period. The Sensor Pad is designed to detect subtle baby movements on the surface of the mattress. If no movement is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm will sound from both the Nursery Unit and the Parent Unit. This movement detection feature can be paused, for example, when the baby is removed from the cot for feeding or comforting, and reactivated when the baby is back in the cot. For older babies, the movement detection can be turned off, allowing the monitor to be used for video only.
In addition to movement monitoring, the device offers video and audio surveillance. The Nursery Unit transmits video and audio to the Parent Unit, allowing parents to see and hear their baby. The Parent Unit includes a talk-back feature, enabling parents to speak to their baby remotely. The monitor also includes a temperature indicator on the Nursery Unit, with the Parent Unit displaying the temperature and offering alerts if the temperature goes too hot or too cold, based on user-defined settings.
The monitor utilizes public airwaves for signal transmission. The Parent Unit may pick up signals or interference from other nursery monitors in the area, and similarly, the monitor's signals might be picked up by other households. To ensure privacy, it is recommended to turn off both units when not in use.
Before first use, the Parent Unit's rechargeable Li-Ion battery needs to be charged for 8 hours. Regular charging time is 4 hours. The Parent Unit can be powered on/off and put into sleep mode. It features a movement indicator (TIC function), power indicator, visual sound indicator, microphone, and speaker. Navigation buttons allow users to access the main menu, zoom and pan the video feed, adjust screen brightness, and switch view modes if multiple Nursery Units are connected. Volume controls are available for adjusting audio levels.
The Sensor Pad requires a CR2450 battery. It is placed under the mattress, with the Angelcare logo facing up, approximately in the center of the mattress. If the cot does not have a solid, stationary, completely flat, firm surface, a hardboard support (at least 30 x 30 cm and 6 mm thick) should be placed between the cot base and the Sensor Pad to ensure correct operation. The Sensor Pad works with standard cot sprung and foam mattresses but is not suitable for memory foam, hollow frame construction mattresses, or water beds. It is not recommended for use above 24 months of age.
The Nursery Unit can be wall-mounted or placed on a tabletop. It should be positioned at least 1 meter from the cot to prevent interference and ensure proper ventilation. The Nursery Unit includes a speaker, microphone, camera lens, temperature indicator, and a micro USB port. It also has a pause sensor pad/pairing button and a power ON/OFF button. A magnet is integrated for tabletop stand and wall mount.
The Nursery Unit and Parent Unit come pre-paired. Each time the Nursery Unit is powered on, its internal thermometer will calibrate for approximately 30 minutes to ensure accuracy.
After setup, it is crucial to test the Sensor Pad. This involves placing the Sensor Pad and mattress, switching on both units, and lightly patting a corner of the mattress twice. If movement is detected, a TIC sound will be heard every 5 seconds, and the Parent Unit will flash green. If no movement is detected after 20 seconds, an alarm will sound. Sensitivity settings can be adjusted to prevent false alarms from other vibrations or movements in the room.
The Parent Unit's main menu allows users to confirm settings, activate/deactivate movement sensor pad, enable/disable Tic sound (a sound every 5 seconds when movement is detected), activate/deactivate VOX (Sound Activated) function, set up sleep mode, adjust temperature settings, and access general settings.
Users can set warmer and colder temperature alarms, choose between Celsius or Fahrenheit display, activate the temperature alarm, and activate the Nursery Unit's temperature color code display (white for normal, red for too hot, blue for too cold).
This menu allows users to activate the Nursery Unit display, set VOX sensitivity (4 levels, with level 4 being the most sensitive), adjust Sensor Pad sensitivity, set Nursery Unit speaker volume, and access the pairing menu.
The pairing menu displays the status of Nursery Units and Sensor Pads (connected/paired, add, or remove). It provides visual cues during the pairing process (blue for linking, green for successful, red for failed).
The Parent Unit displays various alert icons for:
The Angelcare monitor allows for the addition of an extra Nursery Unit and Sensor Pad. When using two Nursery Units, audio will only be heard from one at a time, indicated by a speaker icon on the screen. If two Sensor Pads are used with one monitor, it is recommended that each is in a separate room.
The Parent Unit's rechargeable Li-Ion battery should be fully charged for 8 hours before first use. To maximize battery life, it is recommended to periodically fully discharge the battery. The Parent Unit should be turned OFF when not in use.
The manual provides guidance for common issues:
Instructions are provided for re-pairing the Nursery Unit with the Parent Unit, and the Sensor Pad with the Nursery Unit, should connectivity be lost. This involves navigating the Parent Unit's menu to the pairing options and following on-screen prompts.
All units should be disconnected before cleaning. No part of the monitor should be immersed in water. Clean only with a dry cloth.
The manual emphasizes several warnings, including the serious strangulation risk from cords, advising to keep Nursery Unit and adaptor cords out of reach of children (more than 3 feet or 1 meter away). Extension cords should never be used with adaptors, and only provided adaptors should be used. The product is not a toy and children should not play with it. It is crucial to keep the user's guide for future reference and carefully read all warnings and safety instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury, death, or damage to the product.
