I have considered a small color television system with 4 small cameras, two 
inside the cowl and two outside looking toward the cowl. The field of view also 
includes the main gear.

I am on travel so can not refer you to a web page, but the ones I looked at a 
year back are small and compact. The screen is about 3x4 inches and would fit 
easily where the "glove box" is in my panel. One could install a simple 
rotary switch to control which camera is active.

Total cost less that $500 as I recall.

My thoughts---"hear a noise or see some change in CHT, etc., take a look 
inside"
I have also toyed with the idea of IR sensors instead of heat sensors.

All of this is just idle thinking "The idle brain is the devil's playground"
