Wireless Security Cameras Made Easier by Logitech
August 3, 2010 – 3:04 pm
Recently, Logitech launched a range of wireless security cameras. Making headlines are the Logitech Alert 750i and 750 e Network Cameras. They’re designed to stream video footage, and they can be set to detect motion too. The indoor and outdoor cameras are supposed to be simple to setup, because they function right out of the box. Let’s take a look what these systems have to offer.
Logitech Alert 750i
Logitech Alert 750i retails for $299.99, and it uses HomePlug powerline adapters, which prevents you from having to hook it up to your computer. The software allows you to select 16 zones, and you can include motion sensor on it too. This camera can record audio and video to your PC or to the 2 GB microSD card. Depending on your preferences, you can setup email alerts. This version is made for indoor use only.
Logitech Alert 750e
The company also created an outdoor camera, which costs $349.99. Not only is it weatherproof, but it’s also loaded with night vision. For more protection, there are two add-on outdoor cameras: the Alert 700i and 700e. At $229 and $279, respectively, it’s a pretty penny, but depending on your neighborhood and security concern, it might be worth the expense.
In addition to the new collection of indoor and outdoor cameras, Logitech is also offering an Alert Web and Mobile Commander service. Upon purchase of the products, there is a seven-day free trial, and then the service is $79.99 per year.
These new home security products are expected to be available for purchase in the U.S. sometime in August. These easy to install security cameras might be what you’re in the market for, and you can conveniently store the video on your PC and on the included SD card. When going this extra step to secure your home, it’s going to take time and effort on your part to review the video and determine weaknesses and security breaches.
