What are you wanting to monitor on them? It's been a long time since I've used one but the ones I'm familiar with (similar to the current Axis 210 network camera) had an IP, so you could use check_ping to ping it and it had a web server so you could use check_http to make sure that was answering. You could probably come up with more sophisticated monitoring of the web interface with webinject but I'm not sure what additional value would be gained.
