Wanted: baby monitor

I've had a video baby monitor for a couple years now, and the 6" b/w TV monitor just crapped out. It worked well, especially in the low light of a baby's room at night - just with sometimes crappy reception - it transmitted at 900 mhz.

I went and priced a new one - $100 for the one I have and $170 for a slimmer, LCD model.

Are there any webcam-type devices that are a) wireless [a power cord would be fine], b) good in low light, c) include sound and d) reasonably priced?

The only time I use the thing is when I'm in the basement, using the computer, so I don't need the audio/video anywhere but at my machine.
 
I don't think so, but what you're looking for will be more in the "home surveillance" class of product than the video chat webcam class. A good webcam with all the stuff you listed (if it exists) would probably not be any cheaper than your current options.
 
Here is an idea although not cheap. The built-in 7" LCD monitor will be available next month. Click on 'scenario' (under case picture) on this link to demo of optional 7" LCD retractable display. I am currently building this case.
