Well, if the Federal Reserve Bank let's me into their vaults for security consulting it's probably safe for you to take my advice
Alarm monitoring has gotten pretty commoditized lately. Generally the only time you're really overpaying is if you get one of those junk systems from ADT or the like where the system is "free" if you just sign a 2 year monitoring contract with their overpriced central station.
Someone else mentioned web cams... What most people call a "web cam" makes a crappy security camera. They'll have low resolution, no intelligence, rely on a PC to do anything useful, and very poor low light performance. There are however many good IP security cameras that let you do remote monitoring, video verification, remote look-in, etc.
