Get an inexpensive wireless path light from a home improvement store. Wire a magnetic switch to the gate and have it interrupt the battery wire. Mount light where you can see it. This should be about a $20 solution.
I have done cameras. Good wireless cameras are more expensive than alarm systems. If all you want is visual confirmation the gate is closed, this kind of approach is much cheaper and reliable.
