We can't hear the baby through the monitor, but she can hear us, so we end up waking her up. Seems to work backwards. Did we get a bad apple?

Either that or you've got it backwards? The flat, square part goes in the baby's room, and the thicker rectangular one with a clip on it goes in your room. I don't know how it could malfunction, since the transmitter only has a microphone and no speaker and the receiver the opposite.

An easier way to solve the problem might be for you and you wife to sleep in the baby's room, and have her sleep in yours. :) Or you could have the house turned around.

That is definitely not how my monitor works. The flat monitor goes in the baby's room and the monitor with the clip is for the parents. If they work backwards, sounds like you got a bad set.

Yes I can hear our baby clearly when she moves or cries. The monitor does have a low humming sound like static but it's good for the price.

Yes the audio will pick up any normal consistent sounds in the room (like a white noise machine) and then tune that sound out. It will only come back on after that when the baby makes a sound, or it picks up on anything outside of the 'normal' room sound.

If you turn off the alarm then it won't sound if the baby should stop breathing so defeats the purpose of having it. Our babies always slept through the alarm which only went off when they moved off the area covered by the pad. Hope this helps.

I read that the audio comes off and on to make it less noisy. It is supposed to cut out background noise. It should come on when baby is making noise.

Hi Ellen, we didn't have any problem at all. As our bedrooms are on the 2nd storey & living/dining rooms/kitchen on the 1st storey, we are able to monitor our baby whenever we left him alone. :)

The first monitor we had the sound did not turn off all the way, but I think it was just a bad monitor, we had to return it for another reason the replacement was bad too, but the third and final one (the one we have now) works great and the sound turns all the way off.

I have one and you can only hear one way if the button is not pressed. Pressing the button allows the communication to be reversed. Hope that helps. If you plan to use it for extended periods, using an AC adapter will help considerably as the batteries only last a couple days. I have been very pleased with the product and use it currently as a baby monitor.

Hi Melissa. I'm not sure about your particular issue. ...I had not problem hearing other things and conversation. ...but other people heard their voice echo back to them. ...to such extreme that they would not talk to me unless I disconnect the device

Nope! If you have a white noise machine in your child's room you can hear it over the monitor. However, you'll still be able to hear any sounds your child makes over any noise coming through by the white noise machine.

Hi, The Hero is the newest model. I am not certain that much, if anything has changed in features, except possibly this. I believe one of the features is that if the monitor has to vibrate to stimulate the baby more than twice within a short period of time the alarm will go off even if the baby is breathing. I did a good bit of research before buying the monitor and I couldn't find that feature with the halo. It may be the same, but I couldn't find the feature listed in its description. We have been using the monitor for two months now and love it. We did have one false alarm after changing the brand of diapers we were using. The diapers became looser as they got wetter through the night. What I discovered though due to that heart stopping incident is that the alarm worked even though the baby was swinging. (early on we needed to swing her at times to get her to sleep) Since the monitor is a motion detector I did not think it would work properly while the child was in motion, but it did.

I have a heater and a humidifier in the room, low white noise and that doesn't bother me at all. I keep the volume at 1 or 2 bars and can still hear the babies just fine without much background noise. If it is a very loud white noise, I would recommend putting a white noise machine with the same volume in the 2nd room as well. Because you will hear the difference on scan (unless you keep it at the lowest volume level). There is also a quiet noise made when it scans from room to room which bothered me at first, but I have adjusted just fine.

did it just go off until you woke up? Might help to put a baby monitor in your room and his so you can assist for a bit.

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

You mean after the ladycomp alarm wakes you up? I hit any button once, and it seems to flash for me to take the temp. When it takes the temp, there is no more sound i believe. They have an email you can search for on google, and have been responsive to answer questions in the past. Hope you get it resolved. :)

Good morning,I returned the monitor due do lack of night vision with the lights out, when the baby is sleeping.

This monitor has two volumes that the user has to balance. One is an alarm that notifies the user that the baby is crying or there is some noise in the room. It's four "bleeps" in a row. The factory setting for this alarm is relatively loud. The second volume is the actual sound coming from the room. This is changed on the face of the unit kept in the parent's room. All I've found that is necessary is that I turn down the alarm volume to it's minimum setting and turn up the monitor volume and then it will behave pretty much like a traditional monitor. It's still not as loud as my old monitor but it's acceptable. I've been very happy with this unit. This monitor has two volumes that the user has to balance.
