Should You Buy It?
It depends on what you need. Non-WiFi monitors use a private, closed-loop radio connection that never touches the internet — simpler and immune to remote hacking, but limited to viewing from the parent unit at home. WiFi monitors add remote viewing from your phone plus smart features, at the cost of a slightly larger attack surface and sometimes a subscription.
