I mentioned this over at Slowtalk and thought it would be worth mentioning here. There are numerous IP cameras available from numerous sources, ie, Amazon, NewEgg, TigerDirect...etc..., starting at under a $100 usd. IP cameras allow you to monitor the interior or exterior of your house over the internet while you're away.
I bought a couple of D-Link 5029L IP camera for $149.99 usd. It has pan and tilt, audio, 720P HD video, digital zoom and video recording on a micro SD card. Setup was extremely simple. You can use either WiFi or a patch cord to your network. You download a D-Link program, it finds the camera on your network and then you register it with D-Link. You can then download their mobile application and monitor your house from your phone or tablet, or use their mydlink webpage with your laptop.
Here's a picture of me actual using it over the internet:
