To whom it may concern:

Googlebot has been on my site [reliablecctv.com...] for over 24 hours (hitting on different pages of course). Is this normal? How long shall I expect them to be on our site?

You can't post personal URLs here but you have a few options. You can write to webmaster at google dot com (there might be a better googlebot address but I don't remember it), you can trim your HTML links (they use an absolute URL for many internal links) to lessen the server load, or just ignore it. It looks like your first major crawl, but unless you PR goes up, you won't get such a big crawl too often.

Unless your host is complaining or you noticed poor performance, I don't suggest contacting Google, lest googlebot stays away for too long.

I wish I could swap a heavy AJ and MSN crawl with your Googlebot crawl. :)
