What is the size of the sensor? It is hard to tell from the picture and not in the product descriptions. Also, do the edges sharp to hurt baby?

The sensor is about the size of a Lego, and it connects to the outside of the child's underwear. My 5 year old has not complained of any sharp edges. I wouldn't use this for a baby.

The actual sensor is in a gator style clip and no it doesn't hurt the child. There are no sharp edges.

The alarm is about the size of say a small beeper. The sensor no bigger than a quarter. I would be hesitant to use it on anyone less than say 3 who would be able to untangle the cord in case it got stuck. My son has not complained about sharp edges. He is 7.

We had one sensor pad. Had false alarms now and then, but they decreased when we turned the sensitivity up. Also, make sure you have a piece of plywood that covers the entire area beneath the mattress so if the baby is in the crib corner, the breathing can be detected.

I can't honestly say. I purchased this for my son and daughter-in-law. They are having their first child literally any day now. I myself am old school. I like the new monitors that you can actually see and hear the baby any time. I forwarded your question to my son to see what he has to say to give you clarity. Good luck!

I bought this for my 2 yrs old grandson and he or my great grandson that is 15 months old have never gotten hurt. The edges are not sharp but you may try this web site and see if you get any ideas http://www.plioz.com/rhoost-baby-proofing-products-keep-children-safe-in-the-house/

Yes it will. I love mine. It comes with a ring for easy pull up. I purchased 3 others for family. I do not find it to have sharp edges. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

I have a separate video monitor that connects to my phone. What I like about having it separate is that I'm not obsessively checking the video. If I hear a noise, I can pull up the video to see what's going on. Also, what's cool about these is that you can set sensitivity level so if your baby is a "loud sleeper" you can set it to lower sensitivity to only pick up when baby is actually crying rather than normal baby noises.

This was my primary concern also, but having purchased it and set it up for both baby and toddler, I find the night vision clarity to be great. 1 camera is a few feet away from baby's crib, the other camera mounted on the wall 8 feet from my toddler's bed and the night vision picture is clear (not even fully maxed out on the adjustable brightness) and I don't have to wonder if I'm looking at a bundle of blankets, or my son. I was actually kind of impressed by this camera, having tried the Infant Optics DXR-5 (which people seem to rave about) and being very frustrated with the poor image quality. I'm not saying it's not a little fuzzy, but it's definitely not muddy or unclear at all to me.

We bought this detector for our 50 year old 5' 11" son as a gift and I have not used it myself. He used it an awful lot last summer here in the Black Hills and has had a lot of praise for the detector but heard no complaints from him. In order to give you an honest answer, I passed your question along to him. He told me he has had no problem with the length of the detector. I might add, he has back pain often as a result of his regular daily job as an auto technician so I would think it would bother his back if the length of the detector was too short. Hope this helps.

We have the same style metal mesh and the sensors kept going off (false alarm). We contacted Hisense and they told use to cut a peice of plywood the same size as the mattress and place that on the springs then the sensors. Also we discovered that something as simple as a ceiling fan beating air on the mattress was making the monitor think our daughter was breathing. We discovered that while testing it without her in the crib. Definitely test everything without the baby in the crib. Hope this helped.

This is really an adult pulse Ox meter. I have used it on my 22 month old old grandson and it will work if you get it lined up just right. The sensor and the light source are fairly deep set. I have found the meter to be accurate and useful for my own use. I have compared it to my Doctor's meter often and it is always right on. I would not recommend it for regular use on a baby.

It is sharp, I would not recommend you to let little kids to use it.It can cut the fingers off.Do not allow kid to use it.

Remember it is a "motion detector" not a size detector. Might try aiming the sensor a bit higher than normal, but at some point you will defeat its purpose.

Angelcare probably fixed this problem already, but one issue with their product is that their sensor is corded. Why is this a problem? Some babies somehow were able to find the cord and pull on the cord, and one or two of them suffered major injuries because of it. This monitor doesn't have a cord for the sensor. For details I'm sure you can google the news surrounding it.Like Angelcare, Babysense is also corded. Looking at Babysense, they have taken precautions on keeping the cord completely covered and hidden.

there is a built-in mic which allows you to hear your baby. the image is pretty good, but gets "grainy" after about 5ft distance. it also has night vision which i think is an excellent feature. the monitor allows for upto 4 cameras so if you purchase additional cameras, you can switch which camera you want to view.

Sorry, I gave the wrong answer! The tip is 'micro' so there's no way to measure it. (It's like a pin prick) It's wonderfully tiny! You'll love it!

The camera is not super sensitive at all when panning around the room. When you want to pan the camera you actually hold down the left/right or up-and-down buttons. We purchased this monitor for our first son who is now three years old and we still use it for him and I just bought another one for our new son who is three months old. Now and then the Parent monitor tells you that it's out of range and the screen goes black but only for a few seconds. I'm thinking that's because ours is a little older but it still works great.

Sorry for the delayed answer, but no the edge are not sharp. It is quite comfortable to handle. Cheers!
