Tell her you've investigated them and decided they are a waste of money/placebo.

We bought a Neonate BC-6500D. It's a Norwegian one designed for the Scandinavian market (gf is Danish so she believes baby should sleep outside whenever possible) and we picked it up in DK over the holidays.

I think it's an absolutely rip-off at £150 but we paid just over £100 as it was on sale.
It's been bloody useful actually over the holidays at my parents (big house) and the little one's been sleeping outside a lot recently on the balcony/patio so it's been a godsend there as well.

It has a range of 800m (great for our concrete walls), excellent adjustable mic sensitivity, it's voice-activated and it also a two-way function which is neat if you're far away from the other person.
Also has temp display(goes to -18C!) which is very useful, both inside and out.

Could we have lived without it? Of course. Is it really useful? Yes.
Can you buy it outside Scandinavia? No :p

There's not much to go wrong with a simple basic unit. Something like this will do the job.

I have one very like that, nice and simply. We've had the massive complicated ones in the past and frankly all that do is generate worry and concern, I gave ours away to a mate who said his wife spent half the night looking in the ******* camera to see if the baby was breathing even though the pressure pad said she was.

Ours only lasted about 2 weeks before I gave it away like that, 9 times out of 10 the child just needs a shush or you need to go in and settle them, not sit listening and staring at a screen to ensure they haven't died in the two minutes you left he room. The things are marketed to make parents worry after all.
