You can't possibly build one as cheap as you can buy one.  However...

I would use a Raspberry Pi with the Pi camera and WiFi.  I'm not sure where I would get the power.  If both sides of the 24VAC power are at the switch location, everything will work out fine.  Otherwise, I might have to fiddle with the existing wiring.

Then I would need some kind of power supply to take 24VAC and bring it down to 5VDC and not be totally inefficient.  Probably some kind of switching power supply.

ETA:  You might try to Google for Raspberry Pi Door Camera or something similar
