Does other sound in the room cause a false alarm? Because of close rooms and other house noise, we anticipate having a sound machine in the baby's room. I was just curious if this would interfere.

As far as I know the snuza only alarms if there is an absence of movement. The sound machine should not interfere unless you of course you can't hear the alarm.

No, the alarm is basically a deterrent to a thief. When the security is breached, the alarm does sound, but not loud enough for even a close neighbor to hear. I guess it amounts to a scare tactic to a thief looking for an easy break- in. Hope this helps

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

I have a smartphone so I can only affirm that it will send your smartphone a text when anything happens with the system. As a far as I have experienced, it does not have a feature that allows you to listen in to sound in the home after the alarm has been triggered. I have other cameras and if the alarm is triggered, I can log on to my other camera system.

If you're trying not disturb anyone else that may be in the next room ain't gonna happen. It's a machine, it makes noise. Is it extreme? No. Would you be able to epilate and go un noticed? No. Slitely more noise than an electric face shaver but much less than a hair blow dryer. Does this help?

I've had mixed experience. Running two sets (I have 2 baby units + 4 parent units) causes interference. Running one baby unit works fine 99% of the time. Running both baby units works about 80-90% of the time, depending on how much it's used. So not really recommended, since you get random beeping/disconnects during the night.

Absolutely! I read reviews of people that did that. Once you remove the sensor pad and disconnect it from the nursery unit, it will just be a regular sound monitor. I did not keep it just for sound because I already had one just for sound. I was hoping to have something that helped me with peace of mind ...

It's my understanding that the Halo has an added vibration feature. If the monitor doesn't detect movement, it gives a small vibration which is intended to cause your baby to wake a little and move. If no movement is still detected, then the alarm sounds. I personally only used the snuza go, which only has the alarm. Hope that helps!

Hi Amy, The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

I have my sensor placed on the floor next to my mothers bed. It took some trial and error to get placement right but now when anything goes off the top of the bed, foot , sock etc. the alarm sounds and I look at the video monitor to see if she's awake or if need to go in.

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.

Provided you set up the color-coded frequency (very easy process) to do so, yes.I did too, for a time; however, it didn't really work all that well for me. I have 2 young children; a baby and a 5yr old who sleepwalks. If I heard a noise I didn't like that wasn't a voice, I had to check both rooms, possibly not getting where I was needed as quick as I'd like. Since you'll be getting 2 receivers anyway you might wanna give them different frequencies.

Hi there. We sort of like the monitor, don't love it. The sound is annoying. There are 6 levels, but no matter which setting you choose, it does this thing where it's one level when you set it, but then it lowers. Whenever there's sound in the room, it goes back up to where you originally set it. In other words, it tries to think for you? You put it at one setting, but then it lowers. It's frustrating. If I want the sound on HIGH, then leave it there, don't decide FOR ME that I really want it lower.That said, the sound itself is just fine. LOL. If baby cries, you'll hear it!

I sometimes hear false chimes -- ours is set to door chime mode -- but am not sure what triggers them. I believe this looks for warm bodies that move, not just movement of anything.

Yes, we find it very convenient that we can turn the sound off or turn it up to hear our baby. I personally turn it all the way down when I am awake and can see her sleeping. We turn the sound up when we go to sleep.

It has settings for Low, High and Off.To avoid false alarms, you have to "aim" the sensor at the door. That way it doesn't matter if there's movement in the room.
