Logitech offers both indoor and outdoor Master Systems that include everything needed to get started with home video surveillance. The Logitech Alert™ 750e Outdoor Master System ($349.99) being reviewed here comes with a weatherproof, night-vision camera that lets you monitor any outdoor space day or night. Need more cameras in your system? No problem. Logitech offers Alert™ 700e Outdoor Add-On Cameras that can be added to expand your outdoor coverage. Each of these additional outdoor cameras retail for $279.99. Logitech also offers the Alert™ 750i Master System, which is designed for indoor use (no night vision or weather-proofing) and retails for $299.99.

We should know since we installed one of these systems several years ago. The Logitech Alert™ 750e Outdoor Master System provides 720p video (960 x 720 and features a 130-degree wide-angle lens for large coverage. I was immediately impressed with Logitech's Alert™ system because of the ease of installation and the greatly improved video quality. In addition, portable devices such as our HTC Incredible (Android), BlackBerry and iPhone support the Logitech Alert™ application, allowing us to stream real-time content or alert-based recordings directly to our phones.

Analog-based cameras over long cable runs suffer from video degradation typically in the form of lost video bandwidth and poor color reproduction due to color being modulated in the composite video format. Logitech's Alert camera systems use a digital interface from the camera to transmit the video to the HomePlug AV unit. The result is a consistently good picture that is far superior to any ordinary security video system we have seen. The Logitech Alert™ 750e Outdoor Master System system includes a single outdoor camera with a power supply/cable, network adapter/cable, 2GB microSD card (with adapter), software CD, wall/ceiling mount, System Requirements guide, and Getting to Know guide.

If there is a need to have more storage space, users can simply upgrade the MicroSD card (up to 32 GB).

The outdoor camera is easy to mount and is designed to be mounted on a flat surface and includes mounting hardware that allows for two-axis (azimuth and elevation) adjustments. If you want to mount this under a sloped eave, then you may need to make an adapter to level the mount if the two axis adjustments cannot compensate for the mounting angle. Otherwise, the camera will not sit properly and will cause the video to be angled horizontally. Logitech could have solved this by using a ball joint instead of a single axis joint. The distance between the camera and the power supply is limited by the length of the provided cable. Since the camera data is digitized before being sent over the cable, there is no performance degradation. This is one of the performance advantages of this design. These night vision capable cameras should not be installed to be looking through a window due to the IR illuminators that turn on at night. The glass will cause a huge reflection and render the camera useless in this configuration. The indoor cameras work fine through glass since they do not have night vision capability. The camera needs to have the power/data cable installed by the user. Installation is simple and require a phillips screwdriver to remove the weatherproof covers.
