It's somewhere in between actually. The wireless route would be better since we could then monitor as required from anywhere in the house. If I wire in the camera to say our TV or another monitor that'll obviously only be viewable when we're in that room.
The requirement isn't for constant viewing/listening, just to be able to check how he is periodically if we can't otherwise see or hear that he's OK. Most of the time sound alone would be sufficient. Currently every time he goes quiet and doesn't respond to a shout, someone has to stop what they're doing and go to find out if he's OK.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
