The same private, un-hackable DECT connection with an eight-hour battery and a belt clip, for the price of a takeaway. No static, no app, no account.

A second monitor, or a first one on a budget
Belt-clip sized parent unit — no screen, just clear sound and a light bar.
A dedicated monitor keeps its own private screen with no internet; a smart monitor streams to your phone and can track the baby's breathing motion from the camera, nothing attached to the baby.
Also worth your money — where we'd turn if the top pick is sold out or over budget.
The best smart monitor — a crisp overhead HD view with sound, motion and cry alerts, sleep insights, and two-way audio. (Nanit's breathing-motion tracking is available through its add-on Breathing Wear band — nothing attaches to the baby.)
1,000 feet of range on a private DECT 6.0 channel with nothing on your wifi to hack, a vibrating alert for when you need silence, and talk-back so you can settle them from downstairs.
2K video that pans and tilts across the whole room from your phone, with two-way talk and motion alerts — a fraction of what a dedicated baby camera costs, and it becomes a house camera later.
