I love the monitor we have. I looked into video monitors but went with Angelcare b/c it has a pad that goes under the bed that monitors the baby's breathing. I was sooo worried about sids and wanted a video monitor but I knew that I would wake up just to check is baby was breathing. I found the Angelcare monitor and never had to worry b/c I knew she was breathing. If the monitor detects no movement for 10 sec it does a warning beep that could startle the baby to make her start breathing and after warning beep it will continue to beep so you know that something is wrong. I knew I had to sleep sometime and I couldn't watch a video monitor all night. Also, if you worry about someone taking baby in the middle of the night the monitor beeps when baby is removed from bed if you haven't turned it off.
I don't know if it will work with your current monitor but I would try it and see. Don't throw away the box. This monitor was prob the best thing I got for my baby and for my own mental health.
