We ended up buying a pet monitor from Motorola as we weren't sure we were going to need a video monitor, and we didn't want to throw away $100+ on something we may never need. It was on Woot for $50 quite a few months ago so we snapped it up; http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Scout500-2-Remote-Wireless-Monitor/dp/B00IUKKM1E
