Both cameras offer 720p video, and are backed by motion-detecting software, so they're not recording all the time. The 750i camera, meanwhile, can only film during the day and has to go indoors, though it can be situated to point through a window. The camera we received is part of the 750i Master System package, the "i" standing for "indoors." There is also a 750e Outdoor Master System package, where the "e" presumably stands for "everywhere" or "environment-ready" or something like that - it's weather resistant, anyway, and ready to be stuck on the outside of your abode where it can film day or night thanks to an IR mode. Logitech did thankfully include thin Ethernet cables which are easily tucked behind your vintage crown molding and don't look too obtrusive.


And, you'd need to run power to the cameras anyway. While WiFi would seem like a better choice initially, this does mean you won't have to worry about having a completely uninterrupted signal in and around your home. Connect one to your camera, the other to your network via Ethernet, and that second one will pipe signal to the first via HomePlug powerline networking. The system basically consists of a camera and a pair of bulky plug adapters. Click on through for the full details, some early impressions, and a little sample video. And, with mobile apps for iPhone, Blackberry, and Android, you can do that monitoring from just about anywhere. Announced today and available later this month it's a simple, albeit somewhat limited, solution for home security and remote monitoring of. Logitech's new Alert system is certainly easy to set up and, at around $300, won't exactly break the bank. Sure, there are solutions, but few are entirely plug and play - and those that are tend to be far from affordable. While it's not too difficult to see what's going on inside your DVR from anywhere in the world these days, keeping an eye on what's happening inside your house is sadly a little bit more complicated.
