Price snapshot
$199.99 as listed on 2026-08-08. Prices move, so check the current listing before you buy.
Safety or privacy note
Video never leaves the closed loop between the camera and its own parent unit, so there is no phone view, at home or away, and no internet feed to secure. A second hands-on reviewer also measured the camera's EMF emission at an average 0.2 V/m from 6 feet, one of the lowest readings among the video monitors tested; that reviewer treats EMF as a precaution rather than a demonstrated harm, and only the measured figure is published here.
