The Angelcare Baby Movement Monitor AC517 has an impressive 5” touchscreen with one of the best image quality available at the moment. The built quality is excellent and the baby monitor comes bundled with a whole range of useful features, such as room temperature and remote pan and zoom.
But the Angelcare is much more than just a baby monitor. The AC517 comes together with a baby movement and sound monitor to track your baby’s breathing through the night and alert you in case there is a problem. That’s what most parents will be interested in.
Overall, the Angelcare Baby Movement Monitor is a great package. For $30 less you can get the Infant Optics DXR-8, winner of our best 2018 radio monitor awards, but it doesn’t include the movement monitor. If you’re worried that your baby might be at risk during their first few weeks of sleeping alone, the Angelcare AC517 is the best option on the market for you right now.
