Oricom BabySense7 Breathing Movement Monitor

Gave us peace of mind – Initially, we didn't know which product to purchase regarding baby's safety whilst sleeping. After many hours researching different products, we decided on the Orion babysense 7, and it turned out to be perfect for us. We followed the instructions and only have one base plate connected as baby is still in a bassinet and cannot roll over yet. We Initially had false alarms but we realised we had the plate way too close to the bottom of bassinet yet baby was more in the centre - that's how sensitive the plate is and I knew we had bought the right product. Once we repositioned the plate, it's been perfect. A few reviews had mentioned that the green flashing light is too bright, but it doesn't bother us at all, if anything it's become a calming light in the room that symbolises that everything is ok. The alarm is so loud we can hear it downstairs, another great feature.

Overall, it has eliminated so much stress for us after reading probably too much info on SIDS and the heartbreaking stories associated with it. It's not a product that baby can pull off or switch off, and the constant green flash shows us it is working and everything is ok. I've already recommended it to pregnant friends.

Useless - thinks a baby is there when it isn't – Useless - you can remove the baby and it still thinks the baby is there. Just sits there flashing away happily. Worst purchase I've made for our child. Show details

Great product, great customer service – This product has provided relief and peace of mind around our babies sleeping at night. When babies can roll you do worry about them breathing facedown on a mattress, but the Bsbysense7 breathing monitor is reliable. Oricom's customer service is fantastic; they have great communication and are prompt at attending to any concerns and helping you troubleshoot. Purchased in a set with a video monitor. Thank you! Show details ·  1

Absolutely terrible – This has to be one of the worst purchases I have made since having my baby. I have had to have the the parent device 4 times and every time I asked for a refund as it was faulty, Oricom wouldn’t issue a refund but kept sending replacements. With each replacement the battery continued to swell in side the battery casing which meant the battery life… Read more

was terrible My parent device would only last half an hour without it being plugged in, so it meant I was limited to do things around the home due to not being able to carry my parent device with me. The parent device was also always freezing which meant being turned off and on at all random times of being used Please save your money and purchase something more reliable

Best peace of mind – I am in emergency services, and unfortunately in my decade of service I have seen more SIDS cases then most. So becoming a Mum for the first time came with a massive amount of anxiety and fear. After doing a tonne of research into breathing/movement monitors, I landed on the BabySense. What I really appreciated was that It is registered with TGA,… Read more ·  1

so you know it has had to be thoroughly tested. It is extremely easy to set up and use. We have had it in the bassinet, and now the cot. The instructions are clear, and 15 weeks in and the batteries are still going strong after being on for 10+ hours overnight and for most naps during the day. It has only gone off once for us, and the alarm had me up and out of bed from a deep sleep nearly instantly, and had startled bubs enough that if he had of being breathing inadequately, he certainly wasn't anymore. Thankfully it seemed to be a false alarm, bub looked to have wriggled himself too far from the mat (first week in the cot). A quick readjustment and all is fine again. This has really been a great peace of mind for me. Bubs does have some medical issues, and is prone to get really sick from infections quite quickly. I don't think I would be able to get any quality of sleep if it weren't for this mat.

Definitely recommend it for all parents.

Stay clear of this company – I can confidently say Oricom needs a shake up in their returns process, as they have horrendous morals as a company. I purchased these plates only to have multple false alarms and the sensors not triggering when bub wasn't on it. I was advised this was due to myself owning a slat based cot, spring mattress and using a ceiling fan (in summer).… Read more

Oricom stated I needed to know all of this before purchasing the product, assuming they expect first time parents to be experts on the countless important items they need to purchase for their baby's. Oricom refused to acknowledge the plates false alarm suggesting it must be a pre existing medical condition with my baby.

I have never seen a company so happy to take the customers money and shift all blame to every other entity (the retail company and customer) evolved in the point of sale.

For all other parents, please do you reaserch when It comes to Oricom products and if you are unsure I would look at other companies as once they have your money, your child's safety is not their issue.

Has potentially saved both our children’s lives! – Almost 6 years ago we were recommended these sensor pads by a friend for our first born. Initially we had a couple of false alarms, moving too far away from pads etc. After around 8 months they started going off more frequently, we didn’t think anything of it. Would just turn them back on. I mentioned it to my doctor one day, and she said she… Read more ·  1

doesn’t know enough about the pads, but it doesn’t sound right. Advised us to actually check our baby when they were going off that she was breathing. We did this, and realised she was either really shallow breathing or not at all, we started to rouse her to breathe and then she would be fine. We were quickly admitted to Monash Children’s for a sleep study, told it would be nothing and sensor pads are not accurate. After several tests, it came back that she had Central Sleep Apnea. She would stop breathing around 15 times a night. Each time the sensor pads would go off and she would need to be roused to breathe again. The specialists told us to keep using the pads as there was nothing else like it available on the market at the time - and it was working. You can’t treat Central Sleep Apnea, and thankfully after 3.5 years she grew out of it. We did continue to use the pads all of this time (even though it is not recommended by Oricom for that long). There was no other alternative at the time.

Our second child had a wrap over their face one night and the pads also went off!

While there are some false alarms, I would rather get up and turn it off and on again to check than not know.

I cannot speak highly enough of these sensor pads. With our third child on the way, I have just purchased a brand new set.

We take them away in the porta cot also. The Baby Bjorn cot is flat to the ground, so the pads can go underneath.

There is not a night that we don’t use them. As to us, these saved our daughters life. Potentially it could have been a very different story.

Thank you Oricom.

Haven’t had an issue – Monitor works well for purpose very happy with our purchase 2 years down the track and I’ve only had to call support today for the first time cause a little cheeky monkey knocked it over and now I don’t have picture! New camera is being sent out ASAP so that is great!! Show details ·  1

Very happy with this monitor – We love this monitor. Super easy to set up and work. Never had any false alarms at all and it works very well. Gives us extra piece of mind. Would definitely recommend this to parents Show details ·  1

Gives me peace of mind while my baby is sleeping! Absolutely love it – Allows me to have some sleep while my baby is sleeping.. pads go under the mattress out of the way Alarm will go off if there is no breathing movement in the cot Show details ·  1

Won’t work under cot mattress – The sensor was great when my son was in the bassinet and seemed to work because it would go off when we picked him up out of the bassinet. However since transitioning him into the cot, the sensor doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried to look up the product and the website but it doesn’t mention any specific mattresses that the sensor is compatible… Read more

with. I’ve used it under my parents cot and it worked fine, so not sure why it doesn’t work under every cot.

Suddenly taking too long to alarm – Its been excellent and worked perfectly with alarm going off when i take baby out and forget to turn off but the last few tests I've done and turned it on without him in the cot its taken well over 5 minutes to alarm. If it was a not breathing situation it would be too late for me to know. The machine is only a year old so age isn't an isue with it. Not sure whats going on with it. I'll change the batteries again but i dont think thats the issue. Show reply

This Saved Our Babies Life! – We had this on our gift registry and we are so glad we did! It literally saved our sons life, it went off in the night we ran to find him not breathing properly, a quick grab and pat on his back to get it out, and he was breathing and smiling happy to see us. I would now pay a million dollars for this. It saved his life. Show details ·  1

Peace of mind! – After a lot of research and recommendations from friends, we landed on the Oricom Babysense7 for our newborn due to its independence from mains power and wifi. We had some technical difficulties with the first control unit, however, the Oricom Support team immediately sent a replacement control unit free of charge which works great. The sensors… Read more ·  1

clearly show when the unit is on and when it detects movement, and when you remove the babyfrom the cot or bassinet, the sensor detects no movement and begins to click and then the alarm sounds. Great peace of mind that it's working as intended. We haven't had any false alarms after 2 weeks of use (knock wood). Highly recommend.

Reassuring product – As a Mothercraft nurse I often recommend this for mums who are anxious when not with their babies. It’s easy to use you just need to remember to turn off when you remove baby from cot/ bassinet. Show details ·  1

We really love this product! we are 4 months in & use this every single night! – Very reliable product! We were gifted this as a bundle for our baby shower. We were Psyched out by the overload of SIDS information provided by the midwives. We would sleep with 1 eye open or take shifts as we were overly paranoid. TBH It has given us a couple of frights when it had gone off or if one of us had forgotten to turn it off when we… Read more ·  1

have picked her up. We soon found our LO is a wriggler she will wriggle completely off the sensor. Although we never fully rely on it, it has given us some peace of mind and some restful nights, knowing it works well, when ever it goes off it does wakes us up, we check her, adjust her or the pad & get a restful sleep.

Great product and peace of mind – Easy to set up, easy to use and very reliable. I would not buy any other breathing monitor on the market. I left the batteries in my monitor unused for over 12 months between babies (it is labelled not to leave batteries in) and the batteries wrecked the monitor part. When I rang Oricom to ask for the new part the customer service was exceptional. Very happy.  Show details ·  1

Don’t bother – Complete waste of money. Made my 3 month old baby roll onto side in sleep as it makes the mattress no longer completely flat. I regret purchasing this and am completely unsatisfied  Show details

Brilliant breathing monitor – Have used this for 2 babies now. Have only had one false alarm in about a year of use (I hope it was false, although bub was in a very deep sleep). I love the green flashing light as I can open one eye in the middle of the night, see the flash and know all is well. Also love the fact there is no WiFi (all connected with cords) so safe from a… Read more ·  1

radiation point to view. Doesn't work so well when baby is crawling a lot as they can move away from it, but the sids risk is reduced by this age anyway so an ok trade off.

IT SAVED OUR SON! – We will forever be thankful to this monitor as it saved our son who stopped breathing in his sleep. We are glad we made this purchase! Definitely reliable, plus the device is easy to setup. Show details ·  1

Didn't use more than once – we used the breathing and movement sensor once, but the continuous bright flashing lights inside bubs crib made us turn it off and not use it again. I wouldn't recommend. Show details

Great for peace of mind – The Range isn’t huge it does dip in and out of range when I’m only 2 rooms away so I am a bit nervous for when we move her into her room and we rely on it at night. The light also flashes VERY brightly. But otherwise good.  Show details ·  2

Great Product! – Great product, gives great peace of mind. Only gripe is that occaisionally the alarm has taken longer than I'd like to go off when testing and battery life is short. Overall excellent and would recommend. Show details ·  1

Peace of Mind – Excellent product, easy to setup and operate, well worth the investment for that peace of mind knowing your baby is safe, secure and sound when your that little further away  Show details ·  1

Peace of mind – We only have a very small place so range is adequate Happy with audio, it has been reliable and easy to setup Would recommend as enables us to have a peaceful sleep Show details ·  1

Good product for the price – We found the monitor a bit more temperamental in a bassinet but with a few tweaks its worked well and so worth the piece of mind. Make sure you recalibrate after changing sheets. Show reply
