We researched monitors with privacy in mind, and the Secure875 avoids the biggest worry: it doesn't use wifi or an app. The camera talks only to its own parent unit over a direct digital radio link, so there's nothing to hack from the internet and no account to manage. It has a 5-inch touchscreen, a motorised pan-tilt camera and night vision. Oricom, an Australian company, won Canstar Blue's 2026 monitor satisfaction award. Trade-offs: you can't check in from outside your home, range depends on your walls, and a monitor is a convenience, not a safety device.
