Exactly as you describe. We're in the burbs on a quiet street but anything sets it off. It flicks on when LO rolls over! It's very annoying but most of the time we're able to sleep through it. Im sensitive to light so I often end up reaching for my sleep mask if I'm not super tired when I get into bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-video-monitor-uber-sensitive#post-1619012 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:58:47 +0000 Pirouette 1619012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha yes. NYC is so noisy! i had to turn the sound off once when a car alarm went off across the street for a while because i couldn't handle hearing the alarm amplified through the monitor! i have gotten used to it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-video-monitor-uber-sensitive#post-1618996 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:52:27 +0000 Lindsay05 1618996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes its the worst when they are sick because every cough sets it off. DH tells me to just shut it off but I cant do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-video-monitor-uber-sensitive#post-1618893 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:14:29 +0000 nana87 1618893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we've transitioned lo to her crib rather than a bassinet in our room, and are loving our video monitor for the most part. except, it's so sensitive, even on the lowest setting. which is awesome for picking up all the little noises dd makes, but we're in an nyc apartment so there are always random sounds that it also picks up! the monitor display flicks on when the neighbors upstairs move around, when the steam pipe in the nursery makes noise, when someone puts something in the trash in the courtyard outside (and we're on the 5th floor...), when our dogs bark anywhere in our apartment, when dh sneezes in the next room, when dh is cooking all the way at the other end of the apartment--I swear, this morning I was trying to get a little more sleep when dh was already up and the monitor flicked on from his opening the refrigerator! I wish there was a way to limit it so that the display would only turn on if there was a noise actually inside her crib!</p> <p>anyone else have this issue? I so wish we had a house where we could keep her nursery more insulated! </p>
