Seizure monitoring whilst sleeping

My LO is 4 and half months and is currently being tested for epilepsy. She has had a number of seizures most happening early evening however she has had one whilst sleeping in the car. It's causing me a lot of anxiety at bedtime and when she is sleeping in her crib (she's still next to be so I do often wake when she's moving but I also need to plan for her moving to her own for at 6+months)

I am looking for any recommendations for a baby monitor that records movements and sends an alert to my phone so that if she makes any strange movements in her sleep I can be woken and check on her and I'm happy to deal with all the false alert that will come with this.

I've been looking at the Nanit or Owlet Cam 2 (I already have an owlet sock). Just wondering what the recording and alerts are like for these.

I understand the risks of having a WiFi monitor however the seizure risk definitely out weighs this.

If anyone has any other advice or recommendations that would be amazing.

The epilepsy charities definitely have monitors, I’m sorry I don’t remember the names of the charities but I’m sure Google will help. They often provide funding for them.
Other than that I’m wondering if an indoor ring camera would be any good?
