A no-subscription, no-Wi-Fi monitor with a real parent unit and shockingly good battery life for the price.
The SpaceView proves you don't need to spend a fortune or hand over your Wi-Fi to get a solid monitor. It's a closed-circuit system with a dedicated 5-inch screen, wide-angle lens, pan-tilt-zoom, and a battery that stretches through the night and then some. There's no app, no sleep data, and no way to check in remotely, so it's not the pick if you want smart features. The plastics feel budget and it won't grow into a fancy toddler-cam. But for a first monitor that reliably does the core job for less, it punches well above its price.
