 Any DIY or open source baby monitor software/hardware people know of?  

I have a 30+Tb NAS I can stream to and monitor just on my local network.  I might find time in the next few weeks I might be able to throw something basic together with a raspberry PI and a lot of Python, but I dont have paternity leave for my freelance dev work...

I dont love the idea of connecting my little guy to the "cloud", and I dont really want an unencrypted radio either.  #plebdad #dadstr 
 i asked the same thing a few months back and what i got back was basically “use an old laptop with a webcam”. 

i ended up just getting one that doesn’t connect to the internet at all 
 I set this up a while ago. A little dated now but should do the job. Includes audio.
