Which one should you buy?
For most Australian parents the Babysense 5in HD Video Baby Monitor at around $185 is the best all-rounder. It pairs a sharp 5 inch 720p screen with full remote pan, tilt and 4X zoom, a built-in white-noise and lullaby sound machine, and split-screen room for up to four cameras. Crucially it is non-WiFi: a dedicated parent unit on an encrypted 2.4GHz link, so there is no app, no account and nothing for a stranger to hack into over the internet. It also carries the highest rating here, from genuine Australian reviews.
If you want the cheapest sensible start, the BOIFUN VB603 at around $80 is the most-reviewed budget non-WiFi pick, and the Tapo C200 at around $85 is the value choice if you genuinely need to watch from your phone while away from home. For big or multi-storey houses, step up to the bonoch 5.5in 2K for the sharpest screen and strongest whole-house range.
