   How to display a camera stream

   I'd like to place a camera (ideally a Pi Cam) inside an insulated,    
   heated cabinet so that I can monitor what it happening inside (with a 3D    
   printer). Originally I was hoping to be able to stream this, and then    
   watch using a browser on a PC, with local viewing achieved via a window    
   (real, not computer) in the cabinet.  Unfortunately the heat losses    
   through the window mean that I've had to block it up with insulation.    
   Buying a double glazing unit to fit the hole seems a bit OTT.   
      
   So this brings me to plan B.  What I'd like to do is to attach a screen    
   to the Pi (which is attached to the cabinet), and use that instead.  My    
   question is how to do that.  The Pi has neither mouse nor keyboard    
   attached to it, so I need a means of telling the Pi (ideally at boot    
   time) to display the camera stream on that display.  How do I do that ?    
   I did consider a simple CCTV setup, but would that preclude remote    
   viewing ?   
      
   Also, any recommendations for a suitable display to use.  Ideally    
   something no bigger than A5 as space is a tight.   
      
   Thanks
