Improvements
The concept works, but there are opportunities for improvement.

1) It would be good to have better camera( resolution) and lens( focus) for higher resolution wide angle view with expanded depth of field.  Most ccd cameras will work in IR spectrum, though some have IR filters that will need to be removed.  ( point your remote control at your favorite digital camera... you will probably see the flashing light )
I considered cameras with pan and zoom, but figure the noise would disturb the occupants.

2) Internet connection that can support the opening up images and video feed beyond F&F.

3) second camera, outside the house, for real color shots during the day.

4) microphone for audio

5) Suggestions?
