Our verdict

ieGeek suits parents who want a video monitor that works without wifi, with a parent unit in the box and a starting price of $164.99. The price is high for the category, so it fits buyers who put a dedicated screen ahead of the lowest price.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Wifi is not required, so the monitor works in a nursery with no network and no dependence on where the router sits.
  • A parent unit is included, so the picture is watched on a dedicated screen rather than on a phone that has to be found and unlocked in the dark.
  • A 2k video feed, the sharpest resolution recorded among the wifi free baby monitors compared here.
  • Ships across US, GB and DE, which covers a wide spread of markets in Europe, the US and Japan.

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre alone, where most of the brands compared also offer email, a live chat or a phone line.
  • This is a video monitor, while Chillax Technology, Arenti and Jartoo are each smart monitors, so the closest alternatives are built on a different model.
  • The starting price of $164.99 ranks 18 of 25 brands on price from, which puts it above the budget end of the category.
  • Delivery is listed for US, GB and DE only, so check that your own market is covered before ordering.

Who it suits

  • Parents whose nursery has poor wifi coverage, or who would rather keep a monitor off the home network entirely.
  • Shoppers who want a parent unit to leave on a bedside table instead of checking a phone screen in the dark.
  • Buyers in the United States, GB and DE who want 2k video and a dedicated screen for the nursery.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Parents who want app driven viewing, since Chillax Technology, Arenti and Jartoo are each smart monitors while this one is video.
  • Shoppers on a strict budget, because the starting price of $164.99 ranks 18 of 25 brands on price from.

Core features

The set is built around a camera and a parent unit, with wifi not required. The parent unit is the piece parents actually look at, and it is a screen rather than a phone, so it can live on a bedside table in the room you sleep in or be carried between rooms without anyone unlocking a handset first. Because wifi is not required, the camera does not depend on the home router, on where the router sits, or on how well the signal reaches into the nursery. That is the practical difference in a house with thick walls, a long hallway, or a nursery at the far end of the garden, where a wifi linked monitor can stutter or cut out. Setup is about pairing the handset with the camera rather than working through network settings, and the picture stays inside the house.

How ieGeek compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does an ieGeek baby monitor cost?+

ieGeek lists a starting price of $164.99 for its video monitor, which is the price of the monitor itself rather than a monthly plan. On the site's list of brands that figure ranks 18 of 25 on price from, so it sits well above the cheapest wifi free options and below the top priced monitors in the category.

Does the ieGeek monitor need wifi?+

No. Wifi is not required for this ieGeek monitor, so it does not rely on a home router, a broadband connection or a phone app to show the picture. The feed goes from the camera to the parent unit directly, which is the reason it belongs in the wifi free baby monitors group rather than with wifi linked models.

What comes in the box?+

A parent unit is part of the setup, so the picture is watched on a dedicated handheld screen rather than on a phone. The screen can sit on a bedside table in the parents' room or be carried between rooms during a feed, and the monitor type is video.

What resolution does the ieGeek monitor show?+

ieGeek lists 2k video for this monitor, the sharpest resolution recorded among the wifi free baby monitors compared here. That suits parents who want to see a hand or a blanket twitch at a glance, and it arrives on a video monitor with its own parent unit.

Which countries does ieGeek sell in?+

ieGeek sells in the United States, GB and DE, so buyers in those markets can order without checking whether the monitor ships to them. Anyone in another market should check delivery before ordering, and note that the listed price of $164.99 is quoted in US dollars rather than a local currency.

How do you get help with an ieGeek monitor?+

Support runs on help centre. Most brands in the site's comparison also offer email, a live chat or a phone line, so a question that needs a person to answer it may take longer here than with a brand that runs a phone line.

Is the ieGeek monitor a smart monitor?+

ieGeek lists this monitor as video, while Chillax Technology, Arenti and Jartoo are each listed as smart monitors. If you want a camera that works with a phone and a home network, those are the picks; this one is built around a parent unit instead.

Who does the ieGeek monitor suit?+

It suits parents in a nursery with weak wifi coverage, and anyone who would rather not run a monitor through the home router. The parent unit means the screen is watched on the handset rather than a phone, and the $164.99 starting price sits higher in the category than most of the wifi free options.
