About SAMi The Sleep Activity Monitor:

SAMi® is a video-based sleep activity monitor for parents, caregivers and individuals that need to watch carefully for unusual movements at night. SAMi can detect and alarm on all types of movement, with settings that can be easily customized to your individual needs. During sleep, the SAMi camera's proprietary technology monitors for unusual or abnormal movement in the field of view. When abnormal movement is detected, an alarm sounds on the Apple device running the SAMi iOS app (iPhone / iPod / iPad / Mac) and displays a live video / audio feed. Within seconds, the individual or caregiver can take any necessary action. SAMi will not only reliably alert you to abnormal movement, but automatically records high quality video and audio of the event, providing invaluable video evidence for Neurologists, Epileptologists, and other Healthcare providers to accurately diagnose and prescribe effective treatment plans. For more information, visit SAMi’s website at www.samialert.com.

“This camera hands down is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! My daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy at 14 months old. My world was turned upside down and I was so afraid to not be in the same room when she napped because that's when her seizures we're happening. Then we found the SAMi. It is truly worth every penny! This camera alerts us when there is possible seizure activity or when there is a lot of motion. In fact one night around 11pm the camera alerted us that my daughter was having a seizure and we were able to help her and also later show the neurologist the recording. Unfortunately she has several different types of seizures but everytime she has a seizure she is looking to the right so we know the seizure is starting from the left side of her brain. The picture quality is phenomenal you are able to zoom in and out and all the settings are easy to adjust to what you feel is necessary as far volume, and sensitivity. This camera has given us greater piece of mind when my daughter is sleeping in the crib. We have also traveled with this camera on overnight trips. It is straight forward and simple to set up. And I seriously can't imagine what I would do without this camera! I HIGHLY recommend this camera!!!!!”

“We have had the sami3 since January 2023 and it has saved both my kids at least one time if not more. I actually am able to get some sleep now. And the fact I can easily email a video to the doctor is an added bonus. And their support team is incredible and always so helpful.”

“We are SO blessed to have SAMi! It has eased our anxiety and let us sleep at night. It picks up and records all the night events so we don’t need to stay in the room with our son all night. We have been so relieved since we got the SAMi!”

“I could rave more about the SAMi. We had a small issue with it after the first few months of it and customer service helped out immediately, emailed and called to troubleshoot. I have never felt so taken care of by a company, which I am eternally grateful for considering how important the SAMi is in our household. My son (four) even reminds us to make sure it’s working before he goes to bed.”

“I just set up the sami camera so a review isn't quite a fair oppinion. I would change features to suit me personally. Over I like been able to monitor movement at night, I like being alarted to anything that's out of the ordinary. At some point I'm hoping to fine tune the camera so my son can move back into his room.”

“I love that we have this and great full we received it as a gift. It captures every seizure however I'm finding that it don't alarm for 3/4 of his seizures and i can't figure out why. If I adjust the settings it goes off for every movement and if I keep it where it is it's missing 3/4 of his seizures. I can't find a happy medium anywhere. He had 11 seizures and it went off for 2 of them all were over the 30 second mark where it's a happy medium. It makes me want to give it up.”

“We were able to get the SAMi bundle through the Danny Did Foundation. The camera has been able to provide so much peace of mind for us at night, and has helped us monitor our little one for any seizures or seizure like activity. It’s been a huge blessing for us!”

“The Sami sleep activity monitor has been absolutely life-saving for our family. It has never missed a seizure, and I genuinely believe every parent with a child that has epilepsy should have this in their home. Having the ability to catch a seizure quickly while your child is sleeping can make an enormous difference and avoid sudep. While everyone’s situation is unique, in our experience this monitor has been an essential safety tool. I am incredibly grateful for this monitor and the peace of mind it brings. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Some of the features are difficult to figure out, like how to set the alarm feature. I also have issues with the monitor not staying connected at times, which is frustrating, but easily fixed usually. I do need to figure out how/who to give the monitor stuff to for her when she goes to college in a couple months.”

Thanks so much for sharing this, and for sticking with the system even when it’s frustrating. Some of the settings—especially the alarm—can definitely be confusing at first. A couple things that should help: For an overview of all the app settings and features, this User Manual is a good place to start: https://support.samialert.com/hc/en-us/articles/9207155110925-SAMi-3-Manual-Overview-of-SAMi-App-Settings-Features We also have a step-by-step guide focused just on how to set up and adjust the alarm here: https://support.samialert.com/hc/en-us/articles/24073653830541-SAMi-Settings-Guide-Adjusting-Your-SAMi-Settings-For-The-First-Time For the connection drops, I’m glad they’re easily fixed, but I know it’s still annoying. If you’d like, we can help you troubleshoot what might be causing it (Wi-Fi, distance, etc.) and get things more stable. On the college question: we can absolutely help you think through what she’ll need to take with her and how to set things up in her new environment so she’s still supported. Whenever you’re ready, you can submit a support request here and we can walk through any of this with you one-on-one: https://support.samialert.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

“Sami so far has been very helpful with monitoring our daughter and her seizure activity. Not so straightforward to connect a second device so the primary iPad doesn’t have to be carried around throughout the house. I’m sure I’m just missing a step. We have not yet had any alarm signaling which is a good thing so time will tell how well the monitoring actually works for alerting of a seizure versus involuntary movement as she is very spastic with her cerebral palsy and holoprosenphaly”

Thank you so much for sharing this, and I’m really glad to hear SAMi has been helpful so far in keeping an eye on your daughter and her seizures. 💜 You’re right that adding a second device isn’t always as straightforward as we’d like, and it’s very likely just a small step being missed. Here’s a guide that walks through pairing an additional Apple device with your SAMi camera or kit: https://support.samialert.com/hc/en-us/articles/17491541142029-How-to-pair-an-additional-Apple-device-to-your-SAMi-Camera-or-Kit If anything in that guide is unclear or doesn’t work as expected, please let us know and we can walk through it with you step by step.

“Right now, after having a couple of weeks with it, it is still needing a lot of trouble shooting. We have given up for a bit and continue sleeping with our son. Will try again later this week but need to get some sleep. Constantly woken up by the alarm.”
