The interface mirrors the PC interface exactly, so this means you could feasibly turn off the PC during the day and monitor the situation from time to time. You can also connect to the camera using a web interface via. When your monitoring PC is on the camera will send emails when it detects motion. The camera takes an “HD quality” picture and works in low light. The included software allows you to pan and zoom across the frame – you’re really looking at only part of a wide-angle image and zooming and moving over it, so there are no servos to alert bad guys of your presence. The camera itself uses one cable and takes power via the thin ethernet cable supplied. I unpacked it, plugged one end into the power outlet on the back porch and the other adapter into the power outlet near the router. I was able to set up this camera in a few minutes. The new Alert series from Logitech offers extremly easy monitoring set-up with a few very cool features but it’s Windows-only right now and the motion detection software still leaves a little to be desired. I originally installed a wireless Linksys camera with Vitamin D but I may just switch to something in the Logitech Alert family – with a few caveats. Because I work out of my attic and don’t want to have to run down the stairs every time a Jehovah’s Witness ding-dongs, I decided to install a camera of my own. He caught some kids stealing his car once and even got a great video of someone stealing the rims off of a Nissan in the neighborhood. My neighbor, a former Hell’s Angel named Carmine, dosed me with the camera bug when he installed six night-vision cameras on the front of his Brooklyn home, a 10×40 foot slice of heaven that, in short, was monitored like Fort Knox.
I’m kind of a connoisseur when it comes to home monitoring.
