Anyone use angel care monitor? Help

[JRUTHERFORD]

I'm new and I hope I'm posting in the correct part! I really need help if anyone has an angel care monitor with the movement pad. We used this in the Moses basket and now little ones in her big cot bed, she's placed directly under sensor pad at bottom of the bed but when I pick her up for feeds sometimes it takes longer than 2 minutes for the alarm to detect the baby is no longer in the cot, I realised this from forgetting to turn the sensor off and then it beeping way after removing our baby. I'm confused with the sensitivity, can anyone help? Thanks

Do you stay in the room? And is the sensor pad underneath the mattress? I think its the sensitivity it sometimes detects movement in the room if set too high.
We had the opposite problem when we moved to a cot bed kept getting lots of false alarms so had to increase the sensitivity. We stopped using in the end because she was moving all over the bed and it would alarm and wake her up because she was tucked in a corner away from the sensor.
Didn't use the sensor at all for DD2 when she went in her cot bed!

Ours always went off if we forgot to switch it off. I think you need to review your settings.

Ours did this, the sensitivity was turned up to almost maximum and basically just walking across the room was making it think that the baby was still moving in the cot. It was unnerving at first, until DS started rolling off the pad and setting it off almost immediately. The only times this was useful was when the monitor was on one side of the cot and I was on the other, I'd pick DS up and rock him which would keep the monitor ticking, then I could put him down again without having to mess about with switching it on and off. It worked in our house because our room was so far away from DS so people walking about upstairs definitely wasn't an issue, I'd be cautious if upstairs is fairly small though
