Angelcare Baby Monitor AC1300 Review
Put your mind at ease with the Angelcare Baby Monitor!
Check out this fabulous review by our newest writer Menucha. Read more about her on our About Us page HERE.
"Every new mother has those times when she panics. Is the baby awake?! Is she breathing?
We don't want to wake them up to check, but admit it - you've done it! I know I have. When my baby slept unusually long (six o clock here we come!) for the first time, I went and woke him up. I was afraid of the worst.
Disclaimer: Team member Menucha received this product in exchange for her honest opinion.
The Angelcare Baby Monitor AC1300 helps mothers get over that panic, and have peace of mind. Its movement sensor will detect if your baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds and set an alarm.
Baby monitors take us well into toddlerhood too, and are essential throughout. My son has a hard time settling down for naps, and even knows how to get out of his crib. With the Anglecare baby monitor, I can watch to see if he's sleeping, know if he actually had a nap, see if he's climbed out of his crib and needs help getting back in, and even see if he's already woken up and is calling for me.

Would make a great gift for my niece and her new baby.
This is the best baby monitor I've ever seen! I want to tell my niece about it, she is looking for one!
Great review this is the best baby monitor I have viewed. The best feature is Its movement sensor that will detect if your baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds and set an alarm.
This monitor is of utmost quality, and great digital intensity. I give thumbs up for technology.
I love that this monitor has night vision so that I can clearly see into the room and check on my child. I also appreciate the sensor pads for an infant especially to help prevent SIDS but I also like that I have the choice to use it. This way, this monitor can be used as the child gets older.
I like the movement sensor and the night vision.
I love that it has auto night vision and that you can disconnect the motion sensor, if desired, or simply make it less sensitive.
I love that it has a sensor. Such a great feature!
I love that it has a sensor pad which you can turn on and off. I wish I had this when my kids were little.
This monitor would give you such peace of mind with it's movement sensor feature. You wouldn't have to panic or wake the baby to see if they are alright. I also like that is has night vision.
ilove this moniter wish I had one when my kids were babies ---I love the night vision feature and also the sensor feature to put under babies matress
I REALLY love the movement sensor detector! That is so awesome it senses the baby's movements!! Having a video monitor is real great also!!
What great features of the pad. Great especially when kiddo gets bigger. Night vision is always a plus. The auto pilot on that is pretty nice.
I like the night vision -it's very good image if to compare with some others on the market;and yes,i have to admit i wake my baby up when i am checking on her..Would be awesome to have this monitor!
This would be so helpful-my son makes the weirdest noises when he sleeps!
I love that the sensor pad placed under the mattress detects baby’s movement and that I can adjust the sensitivity, or turn it off and use the monitor without it.
wow i love it the night time vision the movement censor it is a great for us moms
I like the Sensor pad feature. It is great idea.
I love all the features but especially the night vision!!
I love how it detects when the baby moves. This would be great to own.
I like that it reads the temperature too!
I love that there's is an auto night vision. And the ability to use the monitor with or without the sensor pad gives you complete peace of mind. I'm a nurse and love products that are advance in providing safe and convenient care.
The auto night vision feature is very helpful. I don't want to disturb my LO's sleep with a nightlight.
I love all the features this offers. My favorite feature is that the sensor sensitivity can be adjusted, our 3 week old has breathing issues so the peace of mind knowing that I don't have to hover over her at all the hours of the day and night is comforting.
I love that the baby monitor has auto night vision which would allow me to keep close tab on my baby.
I love that it has a sensor pad!! We've been debating picking up two monitors because they all seem to have slightly different features and want a little bit of everything.
Absolutely need this product. I love how it puts your mind at ease. The large monitor screen would be great to check on your little one when you are half asleep. Also the temperature reader is awesome you will know rest assured your little one is warm.
I learned that You can set up “tic” mode, a test mode that assures you that the monitor is functioning;)
30 + years ago it would have been great to have something like this........... The first time I babysat for my new niece I was scared to death... I moved the kid out in to the living room and ever 1/2 hour I would poke her to make sure she was still living.
Would love to win this for that niece who is having her first child in September. Can not afford on my social security but sure would love to give this to her............ I understand how scared and worried new mother get
I love that it has a nice big screen for those sleepless, squinty eyes in the middle of the night! LOL
I wish I had this when my son was born! I Love the auto night feature also!
I love the motion sense and I like the big screen and night vision, its a very nice product
Sensor pad placed under the mattress detects baby’s movement.
I love that it senses movement. That was one thing I was paranoid about when my son was a baby. I always was in there checking him to make sure he was still breathing.
I absolutely love that a sensor pad placed under the mattress detects baby’s movement and it the sensitivity can be adjusted or even turn it off and use the monitor without it. That definitely gives some peace of mind.
I love the size of the lcd screen so you can see all of the detail!
I can so relate! My youngest is 3.5 and if he sleeps to long i still am convinced he's dead...so i am always touching him to make sure he's still breathing. I have a new baby on the way, this would help reduce the risk of waking the baby up as i'd be able to see it. Also, as stated, you can actually check in on them, make sure they nap, without going in and bothering them.
I love the movement sensor and alarm feature. This would give so much peace of mind. Awesome monitor and review!
As a mommy to an angel baby I love the peace of mind the monitor gives to parents. I love the sensor pad features!!! I also love the the 3.5 LED screen. Such an amazing monitor!!!
I love the sensor pad and detects baby movements
“Every new mother has those times when she panics. Is the baby awake?! Is she breathing?"
SO very true, My baby girl is only 6 months and I still go in a million times a night to check on her lol
This video looks very clear, and trust worthy! I love how simple it looks, and easy to use.
Love this! I think what I like most is night vision. It's something you never really think about, but it's an important feature.
My favorite feature is the sensor pad you can place under the mattress that detects baby’s movement. I also like how you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. That is really amazing and this would be wonderful for any parent of a baby or toddler.
I woke up one night, on the couch, to a terrifying scream! To find my son hanging thru the rails of his crib. I had to break the crib to remove him, while supporting him with my knee so he did not die from lack of air. We had to put him in a junior bed. It was terrifying, he was less than a year old.
Auto night vision. Fantastic! Also the sensor....when my first son was born stuff like this wasnt made. Would be cool to have if. Caught up with technology.
i love the sensor pad that goes under the mattress
With the Anglecare baby monitor, you can watch to see if the baby is sleeping and see if he’s climbed out of his crib. The movement sensor and auto night vision features are additional peace of mind for parents and grandparents.
I love this! I definitely need it since my little babe is getting his own room soon!
This is amazing and would love to have it .. its such a clear picture and sound and amazing distance !!
This baby monitor is so impressive! I love that it features night vision. This is probably my favorite thing about it...I would feel so much better being able to physically see my baby sleeping safe in her crib.
The Angelcare Baby Monitor AC1300 is a very high performing monitor. I like the style of the monitor. I am definitely adding this monitor to my gift list!
Nice review! I like how it has an alarm that is set to go off if it detects no movement for 20 seconds - that will give a lot of peace of mind to new parents and experienced parents as well. This is by far the best monitor I have seen.
I like that it has an under the mattress sensor pad to detect baby's movements. Great feature.
I like that it has the movement sensor, I am one of those that checks all through the night.
I wouldn't have used the sensor pad for fear of a false positive but the video capabilities would have been great when my kids were young.
Besos Sarah.
I learned that it comes with a sensor pad. That is a neat accessory.
It's great that it can be set on tic mode so you're sure it's on and working.
I love the 3.5″ LCD screen on the parent unit gives you a great, close up image. which I need I cant stand a small screen to watch them on.
I have always been interested in one of these but had no idea how they worked. This review really helped me see what this monitor is capable of!
I had one of the original ones without video and it was a lifesaver literally. It saved my daughter's life twice as a newborn. The one I had stopped working and I love how this one has video which makes it even better.
I like that it's not a large set up. You can have it on the bed side table and it won't look bulky!
Love the sensor pad, that is just super cool, and also the night vision function!
I love that this monitor has a sensor that detects the baby's lack of movement for 20 seconds or more! Parents can really rest easy with this one!
I learned that this has a sensor pad that detects baby’s movement when it's under the mattress. How interesting!
I love that it has a temperature readout too, and you can set the temp warning. Having a new baby is so stressful, you definitely worry about every little thing that could go wrong, this would help those fears!
I like that you can see your child even in a dark room.
I learned that it has a movement sensor that will detect if your baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds and set an alarm.
I love that you can see the child even in a dark room with this monitor
This is perfect for new parents, with preemies or when baby is sick! I like that if baby is still for 20 minutes that it lets you know.
i think the whole system is awesome ,i like that it has a monitor that you can see baby on, can ease a mom's fears , i wish i had one of these when my children were small babies ,
I learned that it can be used with or without the sensor pad.
I have learnt Sensor pad placed under the mattress detects baby’s movement. You can adjust the sensitivity, or even turn it off and use the monitor without it.
The Angelcare baby monitor can be used as a video monitor with or without the sensor pad. With the sensor pad, it provides priceless peace of mind for new moms. Without, it provides amazing high quality video monitoring from birth through early childhood. <---- great info!
Thanks for the great review, I am currently shopping around for a monitor. There are a few things I love about this monitor! The fact that it has the nightlight is handy. I also like how it has great clear video!
wow, I never new that these come with a movement sensor. I think that is awsome. I really like the night vision, since you will be checking in on baby all the time. very interesting and helpful and good to know
I like how it shows the temperature in the room. It's hard to get it right sometimes.
This is so cool. I've never heard of one having the sensor part of it before. My niece would love this. Not only does it have the sensor, but the night vision, and all the other things it does is gonna give her a major peace of mind.
I love that it has a sensor pad.
I learned angelcare is the brand that recognizes lack of motion, breathing etc. would be useful with concerns of SIDS in the early months. I have heard of it before but forgot the name of the company. Top of the line monitor. Great review. I would love to win!
I learned that it can be used without the sensor pad. This is great for when the baby gets a little bit older.
The sensor pad is an amazing feature! Love the design of this monitor......so amazed at how far these have come over the years!
i really like that this monitor can be used with or without the pad! this is good for traveling and sending to grandmas for the day to use!
I did not know how advanced this baby monitor is! Especially the night vision and all the other bells and whistles!
I love the movement sensor. At times it is hard to tell it the little one is awake or asleep without opening the door. This is a lifesaver!
I love that you get to see them and not just hear the baby because this would have been helpful when my kids were little and just because they are laughing doesnt mean everything is going good as I found out the first time my son climbed out of his crib and in no time made a big mess of his room. This would make a great gift for my niece who is expecting a baby in June.
I love how this Angelcare monitor has a sensory pad that attached to it. I am going to be a first time mom so I feel like this would help me calm down and relax, instead of constantly checking on the newborn.
I like the night vision feature so you can see baby even when the room is dark. I like the large 3 1/2" screen for easy viewing. The movement sensor gives all peace of mind!
I like the fact that you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor pad or turn it off. That means if I'm worried the baby is breathing, I can put it at it's highest sensitivity, or if it is driving me nuts when I'm reassured enough and need to concentrate on work, I can lower the sensitivity or turn it off. I also like the night vision feature. It is good to be able to see a baby's face and see that they're okay without risking waking them.
I have the idea of the video monitor, it's such a great idea!
this looks like a really good monitor
I like the movement sensor feature! Great addition for new parents who tend to worry!
I love that this monitor not only has a video component, but also has a movement detector. It would definitely mek me feel better about my baby's safety
Its kinda like having me gramma right there...all hands on deck!! Lil bugger wont escape me..lol and I love the sensor for movement..I think any parent or gramma as me..could find it relaxing and I bet a bit entertaining also..Peace of mind day or nite..for sure!!
I like that it has the movement sensor. I also like that You can see You child in the dark.
I like that now Angel care has this monitor along with the sense pad, because before they only had sound monitor.
I like the sensor pad, sounds like a good feature.
I love that this monitor alerts you if there is no moment in the crib mattress. As a mother of 4 this keeps my mind at ease no my child can be more safe.
I love the idea of the movment sensor!
I really like the idea of that Its movement sensor will detect if your baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds and set an alarm.
I really like the idea of a sensor pad. It works really well in my dad's nursing home, so I can see it as a real boon for baby care.
I love the sensor pad. It gives you the extra piece of mind you need with a newborn
Love the features of this baby monitor. Love the one of a kind sensor to detect movement, such a great feature for a first time mom to have. Night time vision is also important to have.
Looks like a great product and thank you for the review. What I love is that this product comes with a sensor pad that can be placed under the mattress and you can control its sensitivity! A friend of mine had a product that was similar and the sensor was not adjustable; every single squeak and movement would result in her being notified.
A video monitor that also alerts when baby hasn't moved for more than 20 seconds, that really would give you peace of mind, especially a new mother.
It's so hard to find the perfect monitor. My first one simply crackled all the time, and I could barely make anything out on the screen if the room was dark. The next one broke in 3 weeks. I really think this one will di everything I would need from a monitor plus more
I learned that it can be used as a video monitor with or without the sensor pad! That's just awesome!! We had an angelcare monitor for our boys and it was the best thing we could have ever invested in. It definitely helped this mom get some sleep!
I've been looking at these monitors for a while now. I glad they have add the video monitor and that I will be able to use it without the movement sensor later.
I think the movement sensor that advises if your baby hasn't moved is a fantastic idea, however I can't help but wonder how often the alarm goes off and the baby is fine. I would rather false alarms, then not knowing though, so great feature!
I like that I can see even if the room is dark. My daughter tends to get up and play.
If i win i would keep because we are expecting our first child in Sept 2016. This is an amazing way to have peace of mind that baby is safe at all times
Learned about the auto night vision and sensor pad.. Would love to win
How amazing is it that it has auto night vision so you can see your child even in a dark room.
I like sensors and tracks the temperature.
The sensor pad is really great, because I couldn't tell you how many scary moments that I have, with the non movements, it would a great thing to have, but I must say, that seems like it would be going off quite often, cause most babies do not move, when they are in a dead sleep, unless it detects breathing as movement.
I learned that this monitor has auto night vision so you can see your child in the dark! I love that feature!
I have totally had those moments of panic as a mother. The best and worst night's sleep of my life was the first one my daughter slept through the night. I was certain there was something wrong. If I had one of these monitors, I could have put my mind at ease.
The auto night vision setting is fantastic (one less thing to remember for someone who is not tech savvy).
The auto night vision setting would be SO helpful in my home, to see what my son is doing in the middle of the night. He has special needs, is non-verbal, so this way I could see the times he's waking in the night & if he's being safe.
So many great features! I love they there is a test function and that you don't have to worry about wires everywhere!
I love that it has the Sensor Pad, to detect all of my baby’s slightest movements. This will bring so much peace of mind when my second baby arrives, as I never had this with my first one, and I spent many nights up checking on her! Thanks!
I love that this video monitoring system also includes a sensor pad for extra peace of mind.
This baby monitor sounds great. I love the sensor that lets you know when the baby moves. It's really a state of the art piece.
I'm loving that it has a sensor pad. this is the only baby monitor I've read about that has that.
Thank you for you in depth review. I would love to be able to win this for my daughter and grand daughter. Good luck to all!
I really like that you can use the monitor without the sensor pad.
I really like the sensor pads you place under the baby's matress for movements that's pretty awesome!
Hey I love that you don't have to akways use the pad. Night Vision is awesome too!! Babies like to manipulate as all children do so having a video monitor in my opinion is a must! How else can you see if they are fake crying or not?! Lol.
I love the convenience that this can be used as a video monitor with or without the sensor pad. Excellent option. This is such a sleek monitor and what a 'piece of mind' to be able to have this for our little ones.
I love the fact that the monitor can alarm if the baby doesn't move for 20 seconds, and that you can adjust the monitor's time. I love the fact that you have a video monitor, too, so that you can look and reassure yourself that your baby is just fine. I would have loved to had one of these when my babies were small.
I like that the product has the auto night vision. That is certainly useful for a device like this. I think having the "soft nightlight" is a pretty handy feature as well. I've never seen a device with that feature before but it kind of covers a useful need.
I learned that they are a Canadian compnany based in Montreal. I love the night vision feature.
This baby monitor sounds great! I love that it has an Under-the-Mattress Movement Sensor Pad so you have peace of mind knowing your baby is alright. The Temperature Display and Control are very nice features as well.
This monitor sounds amazing and most certainly would give anyone a peace of mind! Just knowing that the monitor has auto night vision which is great for dark rooms and a movement sensor is a winner for me! Oh, and don't forget the 3.5" screen! Perfect!
I love that you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor pad! What a neat feature!
wow how technology has changed and come so far and so affordable now!! I think its all great, a test button like a smoke detector has to ensure that the items functioning. A sensitivity item to turn on or off when you put it under the mattress so it senses movement. Audio as well as video...its come a long way from the days of just audio (where sometimes you picked up the neighbors machine)
Oh wow I cannot count how many times I have panicked that something happened to my daughters..such a great device that I now have to get this for my daughter..they are planning their family now, how this would ease all of our minds. I love that it has night vision!
i like that it has night vision so you can still see them
I love that it has a movement sensor. Also I love to see the child to keep an eye on them.
My daughter has 4 kids and 1 on the way,having this would be excellent for her to keep an eye while tending to the other kids
This is just amazing! The peace of mind it brings to a parent. Love the fact it has auto night vision.
Adding a motion sensor is a brilliant addition to a baby monitor, add the temperature and all the other features and it just really shoots to the top of the list.
The auto night vision seems like a really good feature!
I love the fact that it has a motion sensor, temperature readout, nightlight, so awesome
the movement sensor is the feature that i like the best. i would feel safer with it.
the auto night vision is terrific
Ilike how there is a sensor pad for movement, and theres night vision
I love the ability to use it throughout childhood. I also love the sensor for newborns..It will help give the parent ease of mind.
i learned that it has auto night vision so i can see even in the dark .thats cool
Not only do I love the fact that you can hear, but you can also see your child on the monitor at different angles.
I really like the night light on the camera unit. Baby monitors sure have changed since I had my daughter!
i learned The Angelcare Baby Monitor AC1300 helps mothers get over that panic, and have peace of mind. Its movement sensor will detect if your baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds and set an alarm.
This baby monitor has some really great features, especially the auto night vision and the sensor pad. I also love that it's easy to set up and use.
I love that this monitor has a sensor pad. That, along with the night light, night vision, and 3.5" screen make this a perfect monitor
the auto night vision is cool
This looks like such a great monitor!! I so wish they had it when our kids were babies. I remember laying in bed listening to the sounds wondering what they were doing and if they were breathing!! This monitor would of helped me from having to sneak into their room to peak in order to set my mind at rest 🙂
This is a well written review! We would love to have one of these for our new baby! The kickstand makes me think the company put a lot of thought in this!
The Movement sensor is the best part of this system.. the night vision is also an added bonus!
This would be an excellent gift giving ideal for new parents. Also you could use it to monitor your pets if needed or someone sick in the other room.
I like the Sensor pad placed under the mattress detects baby’s movement and you can see your baby sleeping and what they are doing when there in bed,
I really love that its monitor has auto night vision so I can see my son in a dark room!
I love that it has a movement sensor will detect if your baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds and set an alarm. I am one of those panic moms go to check to make sure everything is ok
wow wish they had things like this when my kids were young, love the sensor bad under the mattress and the night vision feature is great too
I love the movement sensor.
I love that it has a movement monitor feature! I am a soon to be first time mom so having that extra piece of mind will be great. I love that I can remotely check on him without having to wake him or stay up worrying.
I absolutely love that it has a movement sensor that will alarm if baby has been totally still for more than twenty seconds! As a first time mom, I'm always wondering if my little one's ok and breathing, this certainly gives me some reassurance!
I like that it has auto night vision.
I would have loved having a monitor like this when my children were little. I love the sensor pad and the night vision is such a great idea.
I am very impressed by how sensitive the mattress motion sensor is, it will save lives and give precious peace of mind. The ability to see your baby with out turning on the lights and waking him,I also love the name of course and its fitting! As I read over the review I would ask every new parent to request a quality monitor for the baby shower! If only my granddaughter had this very monitor 2 yrs ago.
This seems like a great product. When my daughter had my granddaughter we tried ONLY had the regular manator I LOVE the fact you can see the baby and the baby. THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL IS THE SENCER IF THERE'S NO MOVEMENT'S WITH SECONDS. SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
This seems really nice--I didn't have a video monitor when I had my kids, just audio. I'm a grandma w/ another grandbaby on the way, who I'll be babysitting full-time, so I'd really love this. The sensor pad feature seems really interesting too. Thanks!
I think the movement sensor is awesome. I also like the auto night vision feature.
