Non-Wearable Baby Monitors
Some parents want monitoring without anything on their baby. No band to fit, no clip to check, nothing to charge in the middle of the night. Non-wearable monitors, also called contactless monitors, watch from a short distance instead, using a camera and sensors that never touch your baby. It's a different approach, and wearables are a fair choice for many families. The guides here cover how contactless monitors work, how they compare with wearables, and what to look for if you're deciding between them, kept plain and practical so you can choose what fits your home.
