Video monitor in toddler room?

So with DS2 here, our intentions were to just puchase an additional camera so we could use our Motorola video monitor for both boys. I know for sure we need it for the baby's room (used it last night during his first night in his room and it was great!!) but now I am starting to question whether we need to spend another $100 for another camera for DS1 room. He doesnt get out of bed. I havent really talked to him through it. We have a basic monitor we can still use so that I can hear him if he starts in a coughing fit, or is screaming out (which doesnt happen alot). If he is coughing alot to where he cant sleep I want to know so I can take him some of his "medicine" (Hyland's Cold and Cough).

Does anyone else not have a monitor for your toddler? Do you ever find that you need one or miss it?

    DS is the same age as your toddler and I plan on purchasing another camera when baby #2 arrives.  He sometimes wakes up screaming from a nightmare and I just like to look over and watch him on the camera for a minute to make sure he is ok.  I have a lot of friends who do not have the video monitor in their toddlers room though.  I feel like I would miss it so I don't mind spending the extra money.

    We have a camera in our toddler's room and one in the baby's room.  I can't imagine not having one for our toddler.  She usually doesn't get out of bed on her own (unless she has to go potty), but I like knowing when she's awake in the morning and when she's fallen asleep for her nap. She will usually just sit quietly in her bed and read books in the morning and before falling asleep for her nap, so I wouldn't necessarily hear her over an audio-only monitor.  It also just gives me peace of mind to be able to see that she's in bed, since her room is kind of far away from our room.
