I'm having the same issue...I was looking into the SamI Camera. Look it up. However, there would still be the issue of not being alerted when they're having a focal seizure, since there is not much or any movement. I've looked high and low and the SamI Camera is the best thing I can come up with. My daughter just had her first seizure in her bed, and we found her mid seizure, had no idea how long she was in it. We moved her bed right next to ours for the mean time. I would have her sleep in my bed with me, but she's 2 and won't lay still in our bed.
