The only good scanner is your frontal lobe. Most scanners are a scam prying on fear of the uneducated. Every smart device is a potential attack vector, and there are two class of entities that can use your device maliciously. Black hat hackers that put malware for residential proxy services or manufactures selling data to advertisers. There are ways to mitigate the risk like air-gapping, putting them on separate network, jailbreaking and buying dumb devices.

I am at work now so i haven’t seen the video but can anyone recommend a cheap good “scanner” or something like that that could show me which devices are listening to me and my family?

“scanner” is difficult because every “smart” device phones home and the connection is encrypted.
However you can safely assume that everyone is doing it. Disconnect any smart device from the Internet and only trust the ones you set up yourself…
