Sounds like an application for a VPN. Our operations are centered around a SCADA system and we are able to establish a VPN connection to see and control the system from anywhere in the world, with the same level of functionality as the main control center (except for having as many monitors). Similarly, if all you want is to SEE the monitors you could either use remote desktop connections or even IP cameras.

It depends on what the "control room" has; are there a bunch of blinking lights on a huge panel, or are there PCs with software running on them?

If the latter, there are VPNs as Noway2 indicated, and there are programs like Dameware that allow you to see and interact with a remote PC's desktop.

Another alternative to VPN is VNC. It will work on both Windows and Linux. If it is a windows system, how about remote desktop?

If it is a bespoke system, you could install a remote control camera just to look at the screens and then decide whether to go in or not.

Does your SCADA have a "web client", in other words are you able to point a browser at it and operate? We use Citect and have this capability. This makes remote monitor and control a snap as all we have to do is VPN into our controls VLAN and voila, point IE at at the SCADA and go.
