Setting up a security unit with camera and monitoring is a costly affair, but you can set up your own security unit with a webcam and monitor it for any movements or unauthorized access. iSpy is an open source tool which uses your webcams and microphones to detect and record movement or sound and provides security, surveillance, monitoring and alerting services.
