My favorite part of asking any technical question is the mandatory "you don't actually want to do what you're asking us how to do" :)

Pretty much most of what people said in response; if the baby's asleep and I'm cooking in the kitchen while watching a YouTube video and boiling something, it'd be nice to have a window displaying the kid in the corner so I can tell when it wakes up. Plus, it might be nice to tune in from work and watch it sleep. Plus, the wife wants one.

Given that dedicated hardware ones are expensive, I'd like to try it with one of the old phones we have laying around - if I come to agree with you that it's unnecessary, I won't have wasted $200 on something that really has no other purpose.

As I was writing my response, I realized that I was doing this, but it amused me. So yeah, touché.
