It's a little limited at the moment but a little known feature of
ZoneMinder
is that you can access it from your phone and check the video feeds of your
monitors via WAP. It does assume you have a phone that will support decent
images though and needs more work to expand the range of phones that are
supported but I used it just the other day at a kids school 'do' to check
for a delivery I was expecting. I also had a false alarm on my Visonic and
while my work web was down could do at least a cursory check via my phone
that things were ok.

It will also mail or sms you (via a mail->sms gateway) if an event
occurs
and can attach a couple of images or a video to the email as well if you
ask
it to. The picture attachments only work if you have a phone that is email
capable though. I have yet to find a mail->mms gateway to try it out on.
