Video Monitor & the dreaded 2 year sleep regression

I need some advice!
DS is 28 months old and going through a fantastic sleep regression....he's refusing to nap unless he's right next to me in bed, then at night he's up playing in his room for 2+ hours before finally crying, then we have to go in and lay next to him until he falls asleep. Regardless of when he falls asleep (which these days is around 10:30pm) he's still up at 7am sharp! We've tried letting him cry it out, we've tried sitting at his door way and telling him to stay in his big boy bed. The problem is he WON'T stay in the bed!!! The way the room is set up we can't see the bed from the door so he knows if we're sitting at the door he can just play in and around the crib and he won't get caught. It's so aggravating. I can't sleep on the floor next to him anymore because I'm 21 weeks pregnant and having sciatica, so my only other last ditch idea is a video monitor so I can see every time he's out of bed and tell him through the monitor to stay in bed!!!
My question is, do you think it's worth the $200 for the video monitor?? I'm thinking we'd get some good use out of it since we have another little boy coming in August. Honestly, I'm open for ANY advice at this point!!! I'm hoping one of you has some for me :-) TIA
