Do any of you ladies have an clue on what type of monitoring system you will be putting in the babies room? DH and I have been looking into the Angel Care system, but were wondering if it was worth the money?

We did a long range Graco monitor (the iMonitor maybe?) for my son. It did fine, and we had no problems with it. Every once in a while I wished I had gotten a video monitor - esp now that he'll go down for a nap but decide to play quietly for 45 minutes before falling asleep - but overall I'm happy with the one we got.
For this kiddo, we're talking about getting a video monitor just because we're moving and this baby will be in his/her nursery much earlier than J was. Look on craigslist for used video monitors - they're a dime a dozen on there.
This is me as well, so thats why we're leaning towards getting that specific brand. But we want to make sure it's worth the money.
We have the anglecare monitor and we followed ALL the directions, set it to it's most sensitive setting and we still got loads and loads of false alarms. Other than that, it worked fine - the false alarms got really old though.
We recently moved DD out of the nursery and into her "big girl room" and tried one of the summer infant video systems. The feedback we got was awful ~ whenever I tried to have the monitor by our bed, I kept hearing this obnoxious galloping sound. That got returned right away.
Now I have the Sony monitor and am very happy with it. I wish I could see her too, but I can at least decipher a lot just from what I hear.
We had an angelcare monitor and I really don't think it's worth the money, we will be buying a video monitor this time instead.
My problem with the angelcare is that when they are still really little they can breath really shallow and set the alarm off, and when they get to be just a little bigger as soon as they roll off the sensor or get near the end it sets of the alarm as well, after 2-3 false alarms we ended up turning off the sensor and just using the sound part. I was having a heartattach everytime it went off and on nights it didn't I was beginning to anticipate the alarm, it was awful.
We're going with the summer video monitor.
I'm a terrible sleeper and I figure if I can see LO then I won't disturb him by going into the room. I'm hoping it solves my paranoia but I doubt it.
This and the AngelCare, perhaps overkill, but mommy is paranoid!
We got this, as well (in pink)!
