Get the Best Non-Wifi Baby Monitors in 2022 to Be Safe (FHSS)

If safety and security is your top priority, getting a non-wifi baby monitor that is hackproof is your best solution. In this guide, I have provided detailed reviews of top-rated safe video monitors without wifi with an accompanying buying guide answering key questions on security/hacking, and differences with connected models, among others.

The best baby monitor brands without wifi that you will find in the market in 2022 are much more improved in their design and features than those available 2 years ago. And this is a great progress for all that appreciate simple non-connected monitors without all the cluttering features.

If you try several of the current top-rated non-wifi brands, you’ll notice improved HD quality pictures with larger 5-inch LCD and even IPS screens. With more advanced encryption standards, some of the top brands have also gotten safer and have gotten additional cool features such as lullabies and even recording capabilities using local SD cards.

What’s the Best Non-Wifi Monitor in 2022 and Why?

In this late 2022 update, we were initially torn between the second and the runner-up brands but we were very certain of the best-performing baby monitor without wifi. In our testing and comparative analysis of the top brands on our list, Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro emerged at the top.

This newer DXR 8 Pro model by Infant Optics which was released last year as an upgrade to the older DXR 8 brand has several improvements from the older version and is our overall best non-wifi monitor in this updated list.

After listening to complaints from parents about the older model, Infant Optics redesigned their video monitor brand to be better and I must admit that they succeeded.

The newest features of the Pro version include a much bigger 5-inch HD resolution LCD screen as well as better audio quality with noise-cancelling technology and improved night vision. Plus, they also made sure to stabilize any connection issues that were common in the older model.

Let me explain a bit about the issue of static background noise and interference that usually reduces the audio quality significantly. This will enable you to appreciate our key considerations below that made us rank it top in this list below.

Better audio:

Non-wifi models use the 2.4 GHz frequency band with is usually crowded with other devices that can interfere with the sound quality and you’ll often get very prominent background noise and static. Our top choice, Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro has the answer with its Active Noise Reduction(ANR) that reduces the background noise by essentially filtering out unnecessary noises such as those from fans, air purifiers, humidifiers, air conditioners, and static.

The sound input signal is therefore improved and to improve output, this brand comes with an improved 1000mW speaker which is significantly louder and has crispier audio quality. If you want to be able to talk with your baby or if you have hearing impairments, this model can come in handy because of its louder audio and crisp-clear sound.

Improved Visuals

This brand made a great effort to improve the quality of images and videos and you’ll notice it with its color images on the bigger 5-inch 720p HD screen which is a big improvement from the 480 VGA display in the older model and in some models in this list. To allow you to have total control of the display’s brightness, this model has easy-to-use buttons on the sides to adjust brightness.

It cannot be hacked – totally safe:

Another key reason we picked this new and improved model of DXR 8 Pro over Eufy Spaceview Pro, VAVA Baby Monitor, Hellobaby, Babysense, Bonoch, or any other brand on this list is the encryption that this unit has. To ensure the safety of your signals, this model uses Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum(FHSS) like some other brands but on top of that, the company went a step further to encrypt the video and audio data. So, if safety is a big concern for you, this is the best choice. FHSS transmission technology was invented in 1941 and was used by the Allies during World War 2 to power private communications that could.

You can jump down the page to read about FHSS technology used by top non-wifi baby monitor brands.

The fact that the brand offers an extended warranty speaks volumes about its product confidence.

Aside from the aesthetics including the easy controls on the parent unit’s dashboard, this brand also has an extended warranty of up to 36 months! No other brand in this list is even close to this warranty period offered. The standard warranty is 12 months but can be extended by 24 months upon registration. Their customer support which is based here in the US (California) has been praised for being super helpful (some parents claim they got replacements even for expired warranties).

Improved Performance and safety:

In order to reduce EMF radiation and increase battery life, this new model is voice-activated and when your baby is quietly asleep, it goes into standby mode and the screen is turned off. It turns back on when the noise level in your baby’s nursery exceeds a threshold that you set to avoid false alerts or too many notifications. This sleep mode increases the battery life of the batteries and can rely on it for an entire night of uninterrupted monitoring.

96% of Parents Positively Approve of This Brand and Infant Optics:

We aren’t the only ones raving about this product. It currently has 96% approval going by its average of 4.8/5 rating from over 4k customers.

I have reviewed it further below. Before reviewing other top picks on the list, I have provided some helpful comparison tables to showcase distinct features of our best brands.

Let’s start with a chart comparing our top pick, Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro and other top-rated VAVA Baby Monitor and VTech VM9191 brands;

Comparison of Top-rated Non-Wifi Brands: Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro vs VAVA Baby Monitor

What is a non-wifi baby monitor and how do they work?

A non-wifi baby monitor is a device that helps you keep an eye on your baby without using an internet connection. No need for data charges or monthly storage fees for cloud subscriptions. These monitors come with a parent unit that stays with you and a separate camera unit that goes in the nursery. The camera unit transmits audio and video signals to the parent unit, which you can then use to check in on your baby.

The image below represents a sketch of a camera plugged into AC power and a parent unit also getting its power from AC adapter.

It is worth noting, however, that most parent units have the option of being powered by rechargeable batteries. Depending on the brand you get, the battery life of the screen unit lasts for 3 to 24 hours.

The camera mounted in your baby’s nursery will capture the audio and video footage. This data is then transmitted over a short-range, private radio frequency to the receiver you’re carrying around with you. The technology used to transmit signals from the camera to the parent unit can be either Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum or Digitally Encoded Cordless Technology.

The receiver or the screen unit receives the signal if the camera is within the signal range which usually does not exceed 1000 ft. The receiver is a handheld device, like a walkie-talkie and relies on batteries but can also be plugged into AC power. On the other hand, the camera requires to be plugged into AC power at all times.

A few recent brands have an SD card storage location that allows you to insert the SD card and record videos so you can play them back later.

Some models also allow multiple receivers to be paired with one camera so that different family members can keep an eye on things while they’re in different parts of the house. These models are particularly useful for larger homes.

In addition, some models allow you to pair up to 4 cameras to one screen unit and view them in split screen mode or flip between them with the touch of a button. This is very useful for parents with twins or triplets.

Is a non-Wifi monitor Secure- Use Wifi or non-Wifi?

While technically possible to get a hold of signals in transit, non-wifi monitors are almost impossible to hack. The FHSS technology which powers most of these models ensures that signals hop between different frequencies in a scattered pattern that’s impossible to predict. Even if somebody did manage to get a hold of your signal, they wouldn’t be able to do anything with it as the data is encrypted.

In addition to relying on an innovative FHSS technology that ensures signals cannot be hijacked, some of the top brands we recommend below use additional encryption to further secure data in transit. This guarantees you 100% privacy.

Do All Baby Monitors Require Wi-Fi and can baby Monitors work Without Wifi

No, not all baby monitors require Wi-Fi. Only monitors that rely on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) frequencies need Wi-Fi. These monitors are called “Wi-Fi baby monitors” because they use your home’s Wi-Fi network to communicate with the camera. Wifi monitors transmit signal by encoding it into a series of 1s and 0s. This digital data is then sent over the air using DSSS.

Monitors that don’t use Wi-Fi are called “non-Wi-Fi baby monitors.” These monitors use an FHSS or DECT technologies which don’t require an internet connection. Instead of using your home’s Wi-Fi network, these monitors transmit data over a private, short-range radio frequency. This means that anyone within range of the monitor can eavesdrop on the signal and listen in on your conversations with your baby if you get a brand with weak security settings.

So, if security is a concern for you, we recommend choosing a non-Wi-Fi baby monitor. These monitors are just as effective as Wi-Fi monitors, but they’re much more secure.

If you’re looking for a Wi-Fi baby monitor, make sure to choose a reputable brand with strong security settings. We like the Nanit Plus Baby Monitor and the Miku Plus Baby Monitor because they both have AES 256-bit encryption which is the highest level of security currently available for Wi-Fi baby monitors.

Yes, some baby monitors can work without Wi-Fi. These monitors use an FHSS or DECT connection which doesn’t require an internet connection. Instead of using your home’s Wi-Fi network, these monitors transmit data over a private, short-range radio frequency. These private, localized LAN or point-to-point signals are much more secure than Wi-Fi, but they have a shorter range.

Wifi vs Non-wifi Baby Monitor – Why Pick a Non-wifi Models?

• Lower costs: Wifi monitors require a monthly subscription fee for the internet storage of recorded footage. Non-wifi models don’t have this monthly fee as they don’t connect to the internet.
• Security: Since non-wifi models don’t connect to the internet, they are not prone to hacking.
• No delay: Wifi models have a time delay of up to 10 seconds. This is because the footage needs to be transmitted to the cloud before being relayed to the viewing screen. Non-wifi models don’t have this time delay as they use their own signal to transmit audio and video.

What differentiates Non-wifi from wifi baby monitor models?

• Range: Wifi models have unlimited range and can be utilized whenever there is the internet. On the other hand, non-wifi baby monitors have an average range of 750 feet. pro tip: if you choose to pick any of our top recommendations below, go for models that have at least an 800 ft. range. In terms of range, wifi models win over non-wifi brands as wifi monitors have unlimited range.
• Security: Wifi models are prone to hacking as they connect to the internet. This gives access to your home network and all devices connected to it. A hacker can then snoop around and even talk to your baby through the monitor. Non-wifi models are not prone to hacking as they don’t connect to the internet making them very secure. On security, non-wifi models fair better than wifi models.
• Frequency/interference: Non-wifi models which rely on the 2.4 GHz frequency band (which is crowded) has more interference with Wifi which also uses the crowded 2.4 GHz channel. On the other hand, wifi models that use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz can avoid interference by switching from the crowded channel to the 5 GHz channel. In terms of interference and static noise, wifi monitors win.
• Storage: Wifi models come with the option of storing video footage on a cloud server. You have to subscribe to the service which can be costly in the long run. Non-wifi models don’t have this feature as they don’t connect to the internet or mobile apps. For this reason, non-wifi models win with storage if they have SD card slot.
• Portability: Wifi models are limited when it comes to portability as they need the internet to function. This means you can only use them within the range of your home wifi network. Non-wifi models have no such limitations as they use their own signal to transmit audio and video.
• Setup: Wifi models are very easy to set up as they connect to your home network which most people already have. Non-wifi models can be a little bit tricky to set up as you have to pair the parent unit with the camera.
• Compatibility: Wifi models are compatible with a wide range of devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Non-wifi models are only compatible with the parent unit that comes with the camera.
• Delay/lag: Wifi monitors have a lag of up to 10 seconds as the footage gets transmitted to the cloud before being relayed to the viewing screen. On the other hand, wifi-free models have unnoticeable time delays.

Reviews of our Top-rated Best Baby Monitors without Wifi in 2022

#1. Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro. 4.8/5

As described above, this new 2021 model by Infant Optics raised the bar by fixing what most monitors struggle with – static noise and poor-quality audio. As an improvement to its predecessor, Infant Optics fixed the connectivity issues and upgraded the display of this unit from the poor-resolution VGA display to the current LCD HD-resolution display in a larger 5-inch screen.

The new improved Infant Optics has improved signal connectivity using Gaussian Frequency-Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation which is known to be more reliable and stable as per their website. The advantages of Infant Optics’ GFSK modulation are that it is very resistant to multipath interference. This means that the signal can travel through walls and other obstacles without losing its quality.

Infant Optics Pro also has a larger 5-inch LCD screen that relays 720p HD videos which can clearly see the entire nursery. You can also remotely control the camera which comes with an interchangeable lens giving you the option to use a wide-angle or standard view.

For the most secure connection, you should consider Infant Optics Pro which uses FHSS technology to solve two key problems that most monitors have; interference and jamming. Interference with other devices that use 2.4 GHz frequency is minimal. It also eliminated signal jamming where malicious persons may try to disrupt or access the signal of your baby monitor.

With this monitor’s improved 1000mW speaker and interference-free connection, you get quality louder volume with crisper sound playback. Infant Optics went further to give parents excellent sound output by investing in a noise-reduction feature that filters out background noise.

Being a non-connected device, you can be confident that your baby’s signals cannot be hacked. But it also means that the device will work even when there is a power outage. The battery for this monitor can keep working for up to 12 hours on a single charge.

Below is a table with a comparison of the old Infant Optics model and the new Improved DXR 8 Pro

The 5-inch display gives you a clear 720p HD view of your baby and comes with an interchangeable wide-angle or standard view lens. You can remotely pan, tilt, and zoom the camera to get a better view of your baby. The two-way talk feature lets you communicate with your baby from another room. You can also play pre-recorded lullabies on the monitor to soothe your baby to sleep.

BabyGearLab found this monitor to stay connected indoors for a distance of about 70 ft or about 5 walls which is usually the expected range indoors. What’s remarkable, however, is that the connection is more stable than the earlier unit or than all the brands in this list. In a separate test of Eufy Spaceview(our second pick), the range of indoor connection was 77 ft but is not stable at all.

Outdoors, the connection range is excellent and super long – up to 1000 ft. which is what the manufacturer claims.

Being a non-connected device, you can be confident that your baby’s signals cannot be hacked. But it also means that the device will work even when there is a power outage. The battery for this monitor can keep working for up to 12 hours on a single charge(with eco-mode on) but Infant Optics promises 8 to 10 hours of monitoring.

Another really cool feature that I really like is the soundbar LED on the side of the screen unit as shown in the two images below. I managed to get screenshots of when the sound level is low(just one bar) and when the sound level is high(8 bars) as shown below;

Image showing Infant Optics DXR 8 LED sound bars with less noise(1 LED bar) and when its very noisy(8 LED bars)

This model also has controls for brightness and volume at a very well-thought location at the top of the screen for easy access as shown below;

Brightness and volume controls on Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro

This model is also expandable and can pair up to 4 cameras to the single screen unit. I found it pretty easy to add the second camera that I had to get when my other monitor broke down and has to rely on Infant Optics to monitor both my newborn and his 2-year-old brother.

The image below shows the easy interface you’ll navigate on the screen to add the second camera;

Image Showing How to Add Camera to Infant Optics

The DXR 8 comes with a set of accessories that improve its functionality. These include a power adapter, an additional camera, a table stand, and mounting screws. You also get a 1-year warranty guaranteed which may be extended to 24 months if you register your warranty within 7 days of purchase.

You can mount it on the wall or on a flat surface. You get a mounting kit but can also choose to get a custom mounting kit such as crib mounts on Amazon for less than $30. It has a longer connection range of 1000 ft which is almost 30% improvement from the older model.

#2. Eufy Spaceview 720p HD Baby Monitor

If you want the best non-wifi baby monitor with the best design and generous add-on features such as a crib mount, you may want to pick Eufy Spaceview Baby Monitor. The biggest advantage this brand has over Infant Optics Pro above lies in its appearance with its ‘bug-eye‘ design camera which would look good mounted anywhere in your baby’s nursery – shelf, wall, or even on the table.

Below is the image of Eufy’s camera.

The monitor comes with an LCD color screen that measures 5-inches in diagonal, almost the size of the iPhone 12 of the early 2015s. What I like specifically about the design is how the monitor buttons are placed so that they are not easily pressed. Some brands are notorious for having loose keys that can get you waking up the baby with 2-way talk when you mistakenly touch the talk button.

The performance of this monitor is decent and in a test by BabyGearLab, they found this monitor to remain connected to the camera indoors for a distance of up to 77 ft, or about 5 walls. This is significantly lower than the 460 ft. range claimed by the manufacturer but is in the same connection range as other monitors indoors.

Check out the monitor and the camera unit below.

You must appreciate that the screen looks super organized with icon, alerts and notifications positioned on both the top and bottom. This goes to my main point regarding this video monitor – the design and appearance will impress you!

We won’t be recommending this monitor for just its look and its elegant iPhone-level design. This brand displays excellent color images during the day but found the night images to be a bit dark. Some Parents actually complain of daytime footages. See the comparison below from the test;

To make up for the average display quality, this monitor comes with a large-capacity battery that will give you at least 15 hours of monitoring.

With sound level capable of being jacked up to 91dB, you can be confident that you’ll find the right volume setting to wake you up – even for heavy sleepers.

Overall, the monitor unit looks sleek and can easily be mistaken for a smartphone when placed at a distance. The 5-inch display gives you a generous viewing area that is helped by the large icons. The side bezel houses the 8 different buttons for quick access to features.

Eufy Spaceview camera design:

Your baby would probably like the design of this monitor’s camera too. The camera has a circular design on one-half of the 360-degree viewing camera. While it is not a bunny, this well-designed dome-shaped camera can rotate up to 360 degrees. The base is stable and the movements are silent. You can remotely control the movement of the camera to see your baby or nursery from different angles or focus on a particular area in the room. You can focus the cameras sideways reaching up to 330 degrees from wall to wall and 110 degrees from floor to ceiling.

The night vision feature is improved with the use of 12 IR LEDs. This monitor’s night vision sensor that’s built into the camera unit will automatically turn on the IR LEDs for a clear black-and-white view of your baby in a dark room. The viewing range is up to 15 feet even in pitch-black conditions.

Other features:

• Sound alert
• Night vision
• Temperature monitor
• Lullaby
• Two way talk audio
• 1.5x & 2x
• 5-inch LCD display
• Has an antenna that you can only extend if the connection is spotty.

Eufy Pros:

• 1. Great HD images and videos, challenging wifi baby monitors
• 2. A modest range
• 3. Great mechaninical pan and tilt
• 4. Can support up to 4 cameras
• 5. Large 5-inch screen
• 6. It has lullabies – a feature missing in Infant Optics
• 7. Long battery life
• 8. It is voice-activated
• 9. High-quality night vision images and videos

Cons:

• 1. Great HD images and videos, challenging wifi baby monitors
• 2. A modest range
• 3. Great mechanical pan and tilt
• 4. Can support up to 4 cameras
• 5. Large 5-inch screen
• 6. It has lullabies – a feature missing in Infant Optics
• 7. Long battery life
• 8. It is voice-activated
• 9. High-quality night vision images and videos

#3. Bonoch Baby Monitor

If you want the best non-wifi baby monitor with Voice Activation, you may want to pick Bonoch Baby Monitor which enabled the monitor to enter into sleep mode when your baby is quietly asleep.

Despite being a new brand with less than 5 products on Amazon, this inaugural model of Bonoch model of video monitors has raised the bar in terms of what to expect in new brands.

In terms of design and appearance, Bonoch’s camera looks very similar to Vava and Hellobaby’s 5-inch models. Below is a side-by-side comparison of Bonoch, VAVA, and Hellobaby’s cameras with similar-looking circular top-design.

This circular design is becoming popular as it is considered a kid or nursery-friendly design that kids like. VAVA actually won an award for the design which looks a lot like Bonoch’s. I personally like the circular design for its ability to be able to easily pan from one corner of the nursery to another.

In terms of performance and looking specifically at its battery life, you’ll appreciate two functionalities that this model has. First is the large 4000 mAh built-in battery and second is its voice-activation feature. Only a few other brands such as VAVA, Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro, Eufy Spaceview Pro have such large 4000+ mAh batteries that can last for up to 24 hours.

I haven’t gotten this Bonoch monitor to last for 22 hours as advertised on its Amazon page. I reached out to inquire and Bonoch customer support was quick to point out that you can rely on it to get 22 hours of continuous monitoring if you have the VOX mode turned on. I found the batteries last for 5 to 8 hours without turning on the Voice-activation feature which is decent.

The other great functionality you’ll appreciate without directly knowing is the VOX mode feature.

Baby monitors are known to transmit a burst of emf radiation even when they are in standby mode. This is because they have to be always linked or paired with the parent unit. To avoid this, the Bonoch baby monitor has a unique feature called voice activation which will put the monitor to sleep when your baby is sound asleep and only turned on again when your baby starts making noise is exceed the set lowest sound level threshold. You can adjust the decibels level for ‘Low’ or Medium and can also set it to ‘off’ mode if you want the monitor to be on all the time.

I mostly use the mid-level in its three sets of sound activation levels. The highest level of sound activation ensures that you are woken up or get notified only when your baby’s crying is at its highest – around 70 decibels. I like the mid-level as the notifications for sound at this level are usually just when the baby starts crying. I never use the lower level as it will send you too many notifications even when, at times, your baby is just cooing.

Among the variety of VOX sensitivity settings in this secure FHSS video baby monitor without Wifi, you can also set the time when you want the monitor to go into sleep mode for some periods. They give you 5, 30, and 60 minutes options.

This VOX feature is very helpful if you appreciate your baby’s privacy and want to avoid the EMF radiation from your monitor. While you could argue that babies don’t have privacy or are not aware, consider how you would feel having a live camera and microphone in your room at all times, monitoring and recording your every move.

The Bonoch baby monitor is a handy gadget that tracks your baby’s room temperatures to avoid becoming too cold or hot, lets you talk and listen to your baby, and also sets a reminder alarm for feeding, naps, or even diaper checks. It alerts you also if it detects noise or your baby is crying. With eight soothing built-in lullabies, it also helps you soothe the baby to sleep.

We also love that the parent unit is intuitive, with icons so well labeled and easy to use. You can carry it around the house easily or place it on the countertop or tabletop using the kickstand on the back so your hands can be free to do other things. Plus, it gives you full control, so you can also adjust the volume and brightness to your comfort.

What I didn’t like about this model is that it doesn’t really allow you to see a big portion of your baby’s nursery. Its field of view is just 50 degrees which defeats the purpose of it having a camera with a nice-round design which I thought could make horizontal pan easier.

Pros:

• No wifi or app-simply plug and play
• Crisp, clear image quality with 720p high-definition screen
• Impressive zooming capabilities, up to 4X digital zoom
• Clear night vision, with no red dot or red light from the camera to disturb your baby
• Allows you to add more cameras to monitor multiple rooms
• Has eight built-in lullabies to help soothe the baby to sleep
• Alarm timer lets you set reminders for feedings, diaper checks, naps
• Very good battery life for all-day and night monitoring
• Decent transmission range with steady signal reception
• Great pricing

Cons:

• Buttons are not easy to use at night, would be better if they lit up in darkness

#4. HelloBaby 3.2” VideHeo Baby Monitor

If you want the best no wifi video monitor with the best night vision that is enhanced with a high-end invisible IR sensor, Hellobaby is your go-to brand. And you can now choose between the older 3.2-inch monitor or the new 5-inch monitor

Brands in this list have either night vision mode that can be turned on automatically or manually. Hellobaby’s images and videos at night are very clear thanks to its auto-sensors that detect nighttime and activate a mode that relays images in black and white with precision and clarity – better than all the models in this list.

Brands that require you to manually turn them on make it easy to forget and your baby will be disturbed by you having to physically go to the nursery to turn it on. In addition, you’ll have to turn it off in the morning so you can switch from night-vision black and white images to color images. A big hassle.

Baby monitors are able to send you pictures to your screen even in the dark but since the camera needs light to ‘illuminate’ and take pictures of your baby. Hellobaby uses a low-light sensor that uses an invisible infrared LED to illuminate your baby in the dark. The camera captures the natural heat that is emitted by your baby and creates a black & white image on the monitor. You will be able to see your baby even if the room is completely dark.

That’s not all when it comes to advanced sensors in this monitor that you won’t believe is sold at almost a third discount to top models such as Infant Optics and Eufy models above. As a parent that got tired of an earlier model that bombarded me with notifications, Hellobaby has sound-level detection that allows you to set a threshold of a sound level that you want to be notified if your baby’s crying exceeds. This feature is called voice activation and monitors with this feature are called sound-activated monitors. Some have even argued that VOX monitors emit less EMF radiation compared to non-VoX units.

Hellobaby 5-inch Baby Monitor is perfect for parents who want to stay connected to their little one without risking security or worrying about data plans. It doesn’t require internet and you won’t be locked into monthly data plans.

This video baby monitor is the newest model by Hellobaby, just released this past year – 2021. It uses secure 2.4 GHz FHSS technology that is hackproof and does not require the internet to operate, which makes it a perfect choice for parents who want to keep an eye on their baby while they are home.

Pros:

• 1. Inexpensive compared to others on this list
• 2. Clear night vision
• 3. Two VOX settings, the low setting allows us to have a noise machine in the nursery without it activating the monitor but will pick up the baby crying.
• 4. The hello baby monitor can turn on lullaby music from the parent unit, allows us to turn it on for the baby without having to go into the room.
• 5. The battery life of the parent unit is decent.
• 6. The temperature reading on display lets us know if we need to turn down ac.

Cons:

• 1. If you get the parent unit too close to the camera, a loud feedback noise is emitted.

#5. VTech VM919HD

If you would our overall best large-screen non-wifi baby monitor, then the 7-inch VTech VM919 brand is our favorite model. The standing screen display size measured diagonally is 7-inches with a 1080 x 710 p HD resolution which also supports single-screen or split-screen viewing. This model is an upgrade from the VTech VM819 which had a smaller 2.8-inch screen.

The 7-inch model is more than double the size of its predecessor had. On a 7-inch LCD screen, you can see your baby more clearly and in more detail. You will also have an easier time navigating the various settings, features, and menus.

On this super big screen, you can also zoom up to 4 times to focus on different areas in your baby’s room.

You must be thinking that the battery of the parent unit with the large LCD screen consumes a lot of power and require continuous charging which is not true. This improved monitor comes with a large-capacity 5000mAh batteries that can last up to 15 hours, thanks to other cool features such as voice-activation mode which allows the camera to occasionally switch to ‘sleep mode.’

This VTech’s non-WiFi baby monitor (brand, VM819) was released to the market in 2021 and in 2022, over 1200 parents have reviewed and given it an average rating of 4.6 on Amazon which is pretty decent.

#6. Anmeate Baby Monitor: Most Affordable

The most inexpensive baby monitor on our list of best-performing non-connected video baby monitors is the Anmeate which costs less than $50 yet it is not lacking in features. Over 18,000 parents have rated it highly giving it an average of 4.5/5 which is pretty high for a monitor with a small 2.4-inch screen which you may think is too small if you consider others like the VTech brand above is more than double its size.

There are two models of Anmeate, one with a 2.4-inch screen and another with a 3.5-inch screen with the only difference being the screen size and about $20 price difference.

Anmeate has 2 monitor brands both retailing at affordable prices. The 2.4-inch goes for about $55 and the 3.5-inch model goes for about $70. You can opt for the larger screen if you think the 2.4-inch is too small for your needs for just additional $15.

The only reason we didn’t rank this budget-friendly monitor higher is that it had no remote pan and have to physically rotate the camera.

One thing that limits the utility of the monitor compared to others in this list is the PTZ. Unlike Infant Optics, Hellobaby, Babysense, and others this Anmeate monitor doesn’t allow you to remotely control the camera using the parent unit.

Its connection is also reported to be spotty at times but this varies from user to user. Otherwise, it had all the great features we liked including Sound Activated LED Indicators, Alarm/Timer Setting, 2x Digital Zoom with Digital Image Pan/Tilt option, Multi-Camera Expandability (up to four cameras), Lullabies, Manual Pan (360 degrees) & Tilt (60 degrees), Auto Scan View, and, Tabletop or Wall Mounting Options.  

Pros:

• 1. It is very easy to install
• 2. It has a modest battery life of 6 to 7 hours (950mAh).
• 3. It has 4 soothing lullabies, a feature that other expensive monitors in this list do not have
• 4. It has fairly accurate temperature sensors
• 5. It has a 2-way talk communication
• 6. It is relatively cheaper compared to the first three non-wifi monitors on this list.

Cons:

• 1. Anmeate’s buttons do not have backlight and not the easiest to use in the dark.
• 2. It has static noise that’s loud even when the volume is turned down

#7. Babysense 4.3″ Video Baby Monitor with Split Screen

If you plan on expanding your monitor by adding more cameras and perhaps monitoring more than one kid, you should go for our best non-wifi baby monitor with split-screen viewing, Babysense 4.3-inch Baby Monitor.

The split-screen feature is not a common feature with even our top brands above such as Infant Optics, Eufy Spaceview, and Hellobaby. What makes the split-screen feature in this monitor stand out is the design of the parent unit.

The 4.3-inch color LCD screen is designed to show two video streams side-by-side. You can view one large screen with a single-camera feed or you have the option to choose 2 smaller screens, one for each camera.

We like this design as it doesn’t require you to keep switching between cameras to view the feeds from both, you can view them at the same time. This is especially useful when you have twins or two kids in different rooms.

Unlike Infant Optics, VAVA and Eufy Spaceview which support scan-mode viewing when more than one camera are connected, only one camera feed can be viewed at a time on the Babysense when on split-mode viewing.

You should note that only audio from one camera is active during split-mode viewing and you need to select on the camera you want to capture the audio or use 2-way audio with.

The benefit of having split-screen viewing is that you can see two different areas at the same time, for example, your baby’s crib and their play area. You no longer have to keep flipping between feeds or use scan-mode viewing which can be taxing on your eyes when doing so for long periods.

This monitor also comes with all the features we like to see in our top-rated monitors including; Long Range, VOX Mode (power saving mode), Expandable up to 4 Cameras, Room Temperature Display, Lullabies, and Alarm/Timer Setting.

Pros:

• The baby monitor alerts you when the batteries are low or when you are out of range
• The baby monitor is easy to use
• You can sue the monitors away from the baby’s room upto 960ft
• You can watch two angles of the baby’s room simultaneously on the parent unit because of its split-screen function
• It is more affordable compared to similar baby monitors

Cons:

• The zoom feature is very grainy, especially at night, which makes it hard for you to check the breathing patterns of the baby.

#8. Panasonic Video Baby Monitor

Our top long-range non-wifi baby monitor is the Panasonic Long-Range Baby Monitor, which has 50% more connection range than its closest competitor.

When it comes to the reliable connection of radio devices, you need to trust the Panasonic brand. Unlike other monitors on this list that use FHSS transmission technology utilizing 2.4 GHz frequency band, DECT uses the less-crowded 1.9 GHz frequency with limited interference. The DECT technology was designed to be used in cordless telephone systems and after its successful launch in Europe in the 90s, Panasonic has utilized it in its traditional cordless phones it is known for and now for baby monitors.

Why DECT has a better connection range:

DECT which stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications has a data compression algorithm that allows for more data to be sent in the same time slot than FHSS. Secondly, due to using time-division multiple access(TDMA), it can have more than one call on the same frequency without interfering with each other. In our testing, we found that this resulted in fewer signal dropouts and a more stable connection between the parent unit and the camera.

The benefit of having a long-range monitor:

For parents who have large homes or live in apartments with many walls, a long-range monitor is essential as you are more likely to experience signal dropouts if the range isn’t sufficient. A longer-range also means you can take the parent unit with you around the house and not have to worry about losing connection with the camera.

Other features of The Panasonic KX-HN4101W Long Range Video Baby Monitor:

The 3.5” LCD display provides clear audio and video, and the rechargeable battery provides up to 13 hrs standby / 5 hrs use. The Remote Pan, Tilt and Zoom feature gives you a clear view of your baby, and the smart alerts appear if baby wakes, cries or if room temperature changes outside preset range. When privacy matters most, the Video and Audio is transmitted through secure DECT technology ensuring no one else can eavesdrop.

Panasonic’s video baby monitor with 2-way sound lets you listen and talk to baby from another room. It also provides a wide, 130° field of view so you can keep tabs on your little one even when the camera is placed out of sight. You can also play soothing sounds like white noise or lullabies to calm your baby.

The portable system packs neatly into a weekend bag and sets up in minutes, without the need for WiFi. The additional cameras (sold separately) allow you to expand your monitoring system as needed and it supports up to 4 cameras but not on split-screen mode like the Babysense reviewed above.

Pros:

1. Uses secure hackproof DECT technology that provides a clearer, more stable connection for a long-range of up to 1500 ft.
2. It comes with a 3.5” LCD display which provides clear audio and video
3. You can remote Pan, Tilt and Zoom to get a clear view of your baby
4. It has smart alert features, not common with other no-wifi monitors on this list. Its smart motion sensor alerts you when the baby is awake or crying.
5. It has a 2-way sound lets you listen and talk to the baby from another room
6. It packs neatly into a weekend bag and sets up in minutes and is a great portable monitor that doesn’t require an internet connection

Cons:

1. Buggy- A lot of issues with camera adjustment, powering on, charging issues. This is the reason we didn’t rank this monitor higher despite having a better range compared to Eufy, VAVA, Infant Optics, Babysense and Hellobaby.

#9. VAVA Baby Monitor: Best Display

If you want a superior-display screen utilizing the more recent IPS display technology, VAVA is the brand for you. IPS which stands for in-plane switching has many advantages over older LCD screens.

The first advantage of using an IPS display is that it can be viewed from a wider angle than LCD screens without losing image quality. The viewing angle on the VAVA monitor is 170 degrees, which means multiple people can view the screen at the same time without worrying about image distortion. The second advantage is that IPS displays have better color accuracy and vibrancy than LCD screens. This is due to every pixel on an IPS display having its own transistor instead of sharing it with pixels next to it as seen in an LCD display.

Vava Baby Monitor is the overall best HD non-WiFi video baby monitor in 2022 that you can get and expect the most value for your money. We ranked it top ahead of Infant Optics and Eufy Spaceview because its battery life is more than double that of Infant Optics and has super cool quality videos and images with its advanced IPS-display screen. All other monitors either use a VGA display or LCD display.

Talking of value, this monitor has all you would need in a modern, well-designed monitor with a super large-capacity battery of 4,500 mAh that can last for up to 24 hours on eco-mode! The transmission of this monitor is 100% secure as it utilizes 2.4 GHz secure and hack-proof FHSS technology that is known to be hack-proof and you can count on it to guarantee advanced security for the baby.

In addition to superior security and long battery life, Vava also has a large-screen display, 5-inches diagonally, and its display is IPS which is better than the regular LCD displays you’ll find in other brands.

This monitor was released to the market in April 2019 and 15 months later, 5,600 parents had reviewed and rated it very highly, 4.7/5, making it one of the best-rated baby products on Amazon. It was also Amazon’s Choice Product but has since been removed from Amazon. This monitor does not rely on Wifi and uses a to transmit signals from the camera to the dedicated 5-inch screen.

Vava is a great monitor for anyone looking for a security monitor with the most value for the money to monitor infants without relying on Wifi. The only downside is that you cannot connect it to your phone or receive signals outside its range of up to 900 ft.

Vava baby monitor was released a year ago and anyone who has used it talks very highly of it because of the unique features that make it stand out from traditional non-connected monitors.

The 5-inch IPS display screen displays 3x more detail than traditional monitors and can see the best color in all angles, better than the traditional LCD display. All other monitors on this list have an LCD display.

Below are some other features great about this no-wifi monitor;

Design:

It is very well designed and you may actually mistake it for wifi baby monitors that are usually known for having better designs than non-wifi monitors. It won the Red Dot Design awards in late 2019. The award recognized “latest technology with the current knowledge about the child’s needs expressed in an innovative design“

Like most monitors in this list, Vava is a FHSS baby monitor and is impossible to hack. The signal will not fall in the wrong hands and your baby’s safety and security will not be compromised.

It is also very easy to mount as it has a hole to mount to the wall. No need for additional hardware. You can read our full review of the Vava monitor here.

The main disadvantage we found with this monitor is that it doesn’t have split-screen viewing. The split-screen viewing feature makes it easy to monitor two kids or twins in two separate rooms or in separate cribs. However, it supports up to 4 cameras and the camera feeds switches every 15 seconds.

Vava Baby Monitor Pros and Cons

#10. Dr. Meter Video Baby Monitor

Dr. Meter non-Wi-Fi baby monitor was introduced to the market in late 2019 but we were not aware of it until just this month. The company behind this brand is  Shenzhen Thousandshores Technology Corporation which trades as Dr. Meter and is foreign. You’ll really appreciate the security features of this FHSS baby monitor which managed to combine all useful features into one high-quality product that will make monitoring your baby a pleasant experience.

In terms of design and appearance, your baby will really like its kid-friendly design with the top part of the camera being circular to make it easy for its lenses to capture your baby’s entire nursery. If you wanted to look at a section of the nursery or zoom in using its 4x zoom lenses, you can remotely pan this camera using the buttons on the left side of the parent unit.

In terms of performance, expect Dr. Meter to give you about 5 hours of continuous monitoring although the company behind this model claims that its battery life which is only 2100 mAh can last for 10 hours of continuous monitoring. I found more claims by users that made me rethink my 5-hour claim. Let me just say 5 hours is the max you can expect. 2100 mAh is considered a small-capacity battery with brands such as Bonoch and DXR 8 Pro having larger 4000+ mAh batteries.

To make up for the performance of its batteries, Dr. Meter has other cool features such as 2-way talk, and a high-resolution 5-inch LCD screen that gives you images from its 720p HD camera. This brand isn’t 1080p resolution but the resolution you get from a 720p outdoes what you’ll get in VGA-resolution models such as the old Infant Optics. I really like the color images on its large-enough screen.

Aside from the battery, I also found the volume levels to be very low compared to some models we tested such as Hellobaby. This model may not be ideal for parents with hearing impairments.

This monitor has it all from high-quality resolution, reliable signal, temperature monitoring, and even small helpful features like lullabies and feeding alerts! And the best thing is it’s going for less than $100! Check out the full list of features you will get with this baby monitor.

Key features

• 5 inch 720p HD resolution
• 2X zoom
• Remote Pan/Tilt/Zoom
• Two way talk
• Sound activation mode
• Temperature sensors
• VOX mode with five levels of sound sensitivities
• 1000 ft transmission range
• Automatic night vision with infrared lights
• 5 lullabies
• Feeding alarms
• 2100mAH battery that lasts up to 6 hours in continuous video
• Multiple camera support to up to four cameras

Like other baby monitors above, UU Infant uses FHSS, a technology that has been regarded as hack-proof as it does not rely on the internet to transmit its signals.

#12. LBtech Video Baby Monitor – Best 2 Camera Non-Wifi Baby Monitor

Top Non-Wifi Monitor Brands We No Longer Recomend

Campark Video Baby Monitor

What is FHSS Technology used by non-wi-fi monitors

What Is A FHSS Baby Monitor?

FHSS baby monitors are non-wifi baby monitors that utilize a spread spectrum to digitally transfer signals in the 2.4 GHz frequency, guaranteeing 100% security of the signals in transit. This article explains the FHSS technology and will list a few 2.4 GHz FHSS baby monitors that are secure and almost impossible to hack.

FHSS itself is a short form for Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum, abbreviated as FHSS. It is a method of transmitting signals in one frequency band while switching/hopping from one channel(or one sub-frequency) to another. Each frequency band, for example, 2.4 GHz, is subdivided into sub-frequencies from which a signal can hop to, or away from as it is transmitted from the baby monitor unit to the receiver/parent unit. FHSS baby monitors are part of wireless baby monitors without wifi or that do not rely on wifi to transmit signals.

History of Digital FHSS Baby Monitors

Patent in 1941

FHSS technology dates its history back to World War 2 when it was used as a secret communication system that guided arms to the target without being detected or intercepted by the enemy. The technology was patented in 1941 by Markey Hedy Kiesler and Antheil George and the technology allowed the sender to transmit audio signals in a pseudo-random pattern utilizing 88 different sub-frequencies.

FCC Regulations in the 1980s and the Emergence of FHSS

In the late 80s, the Federal Communication Commission allowed the unlicensed use of 2.4 GHz frequency band ( Part-15 regulations ). What the regulation did was to allow electronics manufacturers to operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band without any special license. The 2.4 GHz frequency band, therefore, became very popular with manufacturers of electronics. With several devices using the 2.4 GHz band, many devices experienced a lot of interference and it was not until the FCC allowed some manufacturers who wished to utilize the spread spectrum technology to reduce device-to-device interference.

The two popular methods used are the spread spectrum is Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and FHSS. Although it is shared, a successful spread spectrum should allow the baby monitor to experience less interference. Prior to FHSS technology, fixed channel signals had three main problems; jamming, interference, and interception. The 2.GHz FHSS technology solves all three.
