If the security camera has alerts like a decent baby monitor, then I see no need to change.
If you already intend to have security cameras, being able to have one that works as a baby monitor but is completely integrated into a real security system just seems like the best of both worlds.
If you currently use the camera to spot check your baby, with no real alert system for issues, then I'd jump straight to a security system that's capable of that to reduce price over time.
I had a security camera with a built in mic, a cheaper one, and besides getting some false positives, it worked perfectly until my kid didn't need one anymore. I got an alert on their app when it detected sound and I opened the camera, it wasn't straight audio, but all I needed was a notification to check it myself.
