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.

SAMi has been an amazing addition to our home because it gives us peace of mind that we couldn’t get before. SAMi has done a great job alerting us to movement while our daughter is sleeping, which has allowed us to catch seizures that we wouldn’t have caught otherwise, which allowed us to intervene and help her. It’s also allowed us to get more sleep, knowing she’s being monitored. Extra sleep is hard to come by in our household and is extremely valuable. Customer service has been impeccable and we’re grateful for the whole team and all that they do.

Just received and set up our Sami Kit. If you are on the fence about this - don't be! Just buy it. I haven't slept in a year and can finally look forward to a little bit of relief. The picture is so clear it's amazing! The set up was nothing. It took about 10 minutes. My mom got this for us and she said the customer service while deciding to purchase was patient, kind, available and wonderful. I'm close to tears writing this. If someone you love is having nocturnal seizures you need this.

The SAMi camera has brought us incredible peace of mind. It caught a seizure the first night we put it up and through that we were able to get a specific diagnosis for his types of seizures. I love how customizable the camera is. It allows us to differentiate between normal nighttime movements and seizures. We also travel a lot so being able to take it with us is a huge bonus! I cannot recommend this camera enough.

I’m still amazed at the technology that is allowing the SAMi monitor to do what it does. It captures crystal clear videos when she is moving and stops recording when she stops moving. I’m still trying to figure out the alarm because it’s going off when there’s no seizure activity. Everyone (tech support personnel and fellow users) is helpful so I’m confident we’ll get it worked out. Witnessing a nighttime seizure was scary. I hadn’t previously known she’d had any. The SAMi is allowing me the comfort of knowing about the next one.

What a wonderful bit of kit! We can finally sleep at night without being scared! It's not just about how amazing the item is though but the customer service. You're part of a big family and any queries are seen to so so quickly. They even check up on you to make sure things are still well. Thank you so much. You can tell its a company run with love and care!

We are very happy to be able to monitor my child's seizures during the night with the SAMI device. My husband had no trouble setting up the device, although he does have experience in computer technology. My only complaint is we would have referred the I-Pad Mini rather than the larger I-Pad which came with the device. The large format is not conducive to sitting on a small bedside table, which is where we need it. The I-Pad mini would be much better size for this, and still large enough to view the seizure activity.

Hi Judy, From time to time, we have iPad mini's available for purchase but must have been out of stock when you purchased. You can always purchase an Apple iOS of your choosing and download the SAMi App to that device for monitoring. Best, Trevor

Seizures can be difficult to recognize by machines. The different kinds don't look like each other, don't feel like each other. Most focus on certain types of movement; muscle clenching, thrashing, the larger the movement the easier it is for a machine to recognize. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for more than a small segment of the population. SAMi focuses on movement, but brings a nice balance between constant alarms when your loved one turns over and missing out on quieter seizures. It has a 'movement monitor' which glows red following changing movements. This can include opening eyes. The alarm intensity is customizable and can be turned on and off during certain hours. It includes customizable sound which on the high end can pick up turning over, changing breath, and quiet rustling at a level which can wake up the caregiver (YMMV). It also records video of small movements and changes, so caregivers can browse through to see absence or atypical seizures in the middle of the night. Movements of interest can be locked and emailed to you or a physician.

We love the SAMi. Our child has siezures that only occur during or coming in and out of sleep and a regular "baby monitor" really offered no help for us if we were asleep as she would make little to no sound. Now we both have reclaimed our own personal sleep knowing the SAMi will alert us even with the slightest of movements. There was a slight adjustment period in setting the duration and sensativity on the alarm, but once you figure it out it works great. We did a ton of research and we could not find a better product that fit our needs.

Our epilepsy team doctors at NYU Langone Epilepsy Center in New York City recommended the SAMi sleep monitor for our 7-year old son who has epilepsy and I can't say enough good things about it! It was easy to set up, the app is reliable, the videos are super sharp and can be sent to the doctor for review. We also love the remote monitoring feature, which means that we can see our son if we're outside our house (at dinner for instance) and our son is at home with the babysitter. Instead of having her tell us if our son is having a seizure in his sleep, we will get alerted right away, even though we're not at home and can act accordingly. We tried several seizure monitoring devices before getting the SAMi and none of them play in the same league. Also - the customer service and support team are super responsive and professional. This gadget is a must have for any family caring for a loved one with epilepsy and it's the first device that has allowed us to have a good nights' sleep --- all you epilepsy moms and dads get what I mean here 8)) I would give it six stars if I could - it's outstanding!!!

Even though we have an ipad already, I used my HSA to buy the whole kit and I don't regret that. I just wanted something easy for peace of mind. Set up took less than 10 minutes right out of the box. My son had a sudden tonic clonic seizure during which he went into respiratory failure and I have been terrified to sleep since. This device is brilliant and the only reason I have been able to get some rest, knowing I will be alerted and can get to him quickly should it happen again in the future. It doesn't take long at all to learn and work on tweaking the settings for what you need- and right now I don't mind being woken up just from his normal tossing and turning vs potentially sleeping through an event. The auto record feauture, the ease in turning on and off the alarm, the different volumes and types of alarm sounds, and the ability to turn the screen to dim sets this monitor apart from anything else. It really is a genius creation and I am so grateful to have it. Thank you for making this, not just for your own child but so all of us parents could do the best we can for our kids.

This is the best camera for seizures on the market. This company thinks of everything in their package. Even strips for hiding the cord. Just such a well-designed and thought-out device. After one week I got the camera set perfectly with very few false alarms. This momma can finally sleep in her room again!!!
