Our verdict on each
Jartoo
Jartoo fits parents who want a monitor that works without wifi and keeps recordings on the camera unit. Entry price sits at $89.99 with a plan month of $0, so the hardware carries the whole cost, and local storage and video encryption are standard.
Levana
Levana sells a dedicated video baby monitor that needs no wifi and no account, with a parent unit in the box and motion-based breathing monitoring. It suits parents who want a fixed camera feed they can carry between rooms, and prices start at $95.

Pros and cons
Jartoo
Pros
- The plan month costs $0, so there is nothing to renew each month after the purchase.
- Range of 567 m puts Jartoo at 1 of 16 in the wifi free group, covering house and garden rather than a single room.
- Wifi is not required, and a parent unit comes in the box, so the monitor stands on its own link.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line or live chat listed.
- An account is required, so setup and viewing depend on a sign in.
- Security and support cover runs for 2 years, which is a short window for a smart monitor.
Levana
Pros
- Wifi is not required, so the feed works in a nursery the router does not reach and needs no phone or app.
- A parent unit is included in the kit, so the screen you watch comes in the box rather than from your own handset.
- No account is required, so setup stops at pairing the camera with the unit.
Cons
- Support runs on chat and help centre, so there is no phone number for a unit that fails at bedtime.
- Wifi required is no and account required is no, so the feed stays on the parent unit in the room, unlike Arenti's smart monitor, which is watched on a handset.
- Where Levana sells is set by US and CA, so delivery outside those markets needs checking before ordering.
Who each suits
Jartoo
Who it suits
- Parents who want a monitor that keeps working without wifi, with range of 567 m across house and garden.
- Shoppers in the United States, CA and GB who want local storage and video encryption without a monthly charge of $0.
- Families content to set up an account and then leave the unit recording to local storage.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers on a budget, since Chillax Technology starts at €34.99.
- Parents who will not set up an account, since Jartoo requires one before the monitor is used and buyers weighing alternatives such as Hubble Connected at £24.99 should check their own account needs.
- Anyone who needs live help on the phone, since Jartoo support runs on email, help centre and community only.
Levana
Who it suits
- Parents who want video without a router, a phone or a sign-up.
- Families who would rather carry a parent unit around than keep opening an app.
- Shoppers in US and CA, where the store delivers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who want to check the nursery from a phone while out: Arenti's smart monitor is built around app viewing, where Levana's video set keeps the feed on the parent unit.
- Parents who want the nursery on a handset while away from home: Hubble Connected's smart range targets that, and a pair of screens is no use in a room with the baby.
- Shoppers comparing across types rather than price: Chillax Technology's smart monitor is a different kind of kit, so spec sheets line up less neatly.

Questions about each
Jartoo
What does a Jartoo baby monitor cost?+
Jartoo monitors start at $89.99. The monthly plan on the monitor comes to $0, so there is no subscription to renew after the purchase and the outlay stays at the entry figure. Local storage and video encryption come with the hardware rather than as paid extras.
Does the Jartoo monitor need wifi?+
Wifi is not required. The monitor ships with its own parent unit, so the picture runs over a direct link and keeps working if the home network drops or the signal is poor. An account is still required before the monitor can be set up.
Levana
How much does a Levana baby monitor cost?+
Levana's monitors start at $95, which places the brand at position 8 of 25 on the site's entry price comparison. Because wifi is not required and no account is needed, the price shown is the hardware cost rather than the start of a paid plan.
Does a Levana monitor need wifi or an app?+
No on both counts. Wifi required is no and account required is no, so the monitor runs on its own signal and there is nothing to sign up for or pair. That suits a nursery with poor wireless coverage, or a parent who would rather not set up another account.
