Product: Logitech Alert Security System
Price: Outdoor master system 750e with night vision: $334, additional outdoor night vision camera: $273, additional indoor camera 750i: $225
What It’s Good For: Relatively easy to set up, these cameras can keep an eye on your property, recording everything that moves.
Who It’s Good For: Those who want to enhance home security will be first in line, but gadgeteers and wildlife enthusiasts who want to capture video of wild animals in the middle of the night will also love this system.
Limitation s: The Alert system’s new iPad/iPhone app is rudimentary, and the motion detection is tricky to set up. The indoor cameras don’t have night vision, limiting their usefulness. Unfortunately, the Commander software for the system is Windows-only.
Bottom Line: This refined system keeps watch over your stuff in HD quality, giving you clear video of anyone who wants to trespass on your property, day or night. You can install the system yourself, but to fully cover an average-sized house will cost you in excess of $1,000.
