Do any of you know of a cost effect device that could be connected to an Asterisk station port to provide room monitoring? I'm looking to replace the wireless baby monitor we currently have, since there is too much interference between our daughter's room and our room for it to work effectively. I've found a few items[1-4] that seem to provide the feature I'm looking for, but they seem much more expensive than necessary. Essentially, I'm looking for something that I can assign an extension on asterisk to and then call from another station to activate monitoring. Any ideas are welcome.

Why not just make a call into your bedroom, from baby's room? If you need to make another call place her's on hold, or have two extensions in your room.
