I would go with HTTPS. HTTPS is good enough for all the online stores and banks it should protect a baby monitor.

It was not a walk in the park but it was not rocket science. If I can do most anybody could.

Depends what you're trying to accomplish - HTTPS/TLS only secures the transport, and does not provide access control capabilities. You can certainly do certificate based authentication, but that's a bear to manage and support.
