Momcozy BM04 is the budget hybrid on this list, and it covers more than its $189.99 price suggests. The 5-inch parent unit connects straight to the camera with no Wi-Fi, and Momcozy quotes up to 960 ft of range, while a Wi-Fi mode lets you watch in the app and share live video with family. The 1080P camera pans 350 degrees and tilts 110 degrees, and alerts cover motion, true cries, a baby leaving a set danger zone and room temperature outside your chosen range. The parent unit is rated for 10 hours with the screen always on and 20 hours in regular mode, which is enough for a full night. Recording can run 24/7 or on motion, but the memory card and cloud storage cost extra. Video is a step below the eufy E21, and there is no breathing tracking. Momcozy backs it with at least a 2-year warranty. We compared documented features and published prices.
