    Buyer Critiques


    I try to maintain up writing reviews for merchandise I decide to buy, in particular the items that I myself do a lot of research on, just before acquiring. So I'll break this down as greatest I can. I reside in a 2-story, 2800 square foot dwelling. And for the longest time, I've wanted a surveillance method to make me really feel secure both when I am at dwelling and away. The Logitech camera process and computer software does it perfect, with only a few minor problems, and I stress minor.
    I have an Apple router but run Windows 7 on my Computer I'm also working with the free of charge application on my iPhone. I had zero complications with the computer software install, even when it came to Window's firewall. I'm at present running two indoor cameras and 1 outdoor camera...but, I basically program on working with absolutely nothing but outdoor cameras for my complete program (to consist of for inside surveillance). And that is about the only actual issue I have with the process. The indoor camera operates amazing and does what it should. It delivers good excellent color video and even over the iPhone application or more than the internet (from Logitech's website), all of my close friends all have said, "Wow, that looks awesome!" BUT, and it's a significant BUT, as soon as the sun goes down, the indoor cameras are really restricted. Shy of the negative guy turning on all of the lights in my residence, then committing his crime, the indoor camera is of tiny use through nighttime hours. And at very first, I was okay with that since I'm home at night and it really is in fact the daytime when no one is house. But then I purchased the outdoor Logitech camera and WOW, what a difference simply because it holds the really exact same quality as the indoor camera, but also does a phenomenal job at night. So with that, I'm going to return the indoor cameras and use the outdoor cameras for outside as nicely as inside. But I nonetheless want to give my critique on the indoor camera as I've been working with it for about a month now.
    Pros:
    Color Top quality. Once again, wonderful color excellent. Even applying the digital zoom, I was impressed at how superior it looks. My wife getting the glass half empty sort of individual commented that you can't see the face of the individual all that properly. But my reply was - but you can certain as heck see his race, clothing description, weight, height, hair color and most importantly you can see if he is or isn't wearing gloves...therefore, you could see clearly where he might have left evidence (fingerprints, DNA, and so on).
    Included 2GB media card. This is a outstanding function This indicates that if negative guy breaks in and thinks he's outsmarting you by stealing your pc (with the footage of him), you can nonetheless revert back to the camera itself to retrieve the footage saved to the media card. A different awesome point about the camera media card is that your household computer system does not require to be normally on to be recording. For example, my computer goes into sleep mode after about an hour of inactivity. So if my personal computer is in hibernate mode for a complete day, the cameras are nonetheless recording footage and will sync to my pc when it awakes. For it to function seamless, I just leave the Logitech software program running in the process bar (background).
    Software. Logitech did it right with the software. It was a quite painless install, attributes are clear and I enjoy that you can customize each camera you have on your network. For instance, out of the three cameras I have, I only want 1 of them to send off text message alerts. Once more, it really is nice that the alerts are not just a technique function, but rather an person camera setting. You can also adjust the duration of alerts to save yourself from receiving thousand texts. For me, a five minute window is wonderful, just as long as I get the initial text, I wouldn't be concerned about finding 20 much more in below a 5 minute or then again extended of a window you decide on. I also like the way the computer software saves all of the recorded video. With 3 cameras going, I've been acquiring a lot of recorded footage. The computer software not only makes it possible for you to use decide on a given date and time to analysis, but if you were to search out for that file in Windows explorer, the software does a outstanding job by saving the footage below the name of camera (for instance "Living Room"), then the month (ten for October), then the day within that month. Being a police officer, I honestly like that if I had to turn more than essential footage (if my property was burglarized, etc), all of the footage would have clear a folder structure and time stamp that would make sense to any other investigating officer.
    Alerts. This feature sealed the deal for me shopping for this system to start with. You select a zone in which if motion occurs, an alert will be sent. For instance, despite the fact that my camera has a pretty wide shot of my living room to incorporate front door, my only concern is if movement is picked up at the front door. As soon as motion is detected, a text message is sent to my phone. The alert text message is amazing it says what camera picked up what motion and at what date and time...hassle-free and effective. BUT, I will mention alerts in the Cons section, so please read on.
    Camera size. Once more, I have both the indoor and outside camera and was quite impressed by how modest they were. I also lucked out that I have power sources on top rated of my potter shelves, so I was in a position to plug in the cameras without having any wires becoming run down walls, and so on. And given that the cameras are small, I've really told pals that I have the cameras and it still took them a even though to actually figure out exactly where.
    The "wow" aspect. I'll admit it, I am that guy who loves his tech toys, who loves showing off new technologies and how I make it work for my family's safety. The 1st day when I showed all of my police good friends the program, every person was amazed. I should certainly get a kick back from Logitech on all of the prospective shoppers I made for them. Being able to open the iPhone app and show my friends that I have 24/7 surveillance of my residence, felt quite cool. The iPhone app also functions fairly properly over 3g cell service (not just wi-fi).
    Cons:
    Value. Well I mentioned the "wow" element when I showed off the method to my friends. Nicely, I got the similar expression when I told them how significantly. For me to get 6 cameras, all of them getting the outdoor cameras, is a bit pricey. But, I will say that the software getting free of charge is good. It really is also nice to know that every camera comes with that 2GB media card (one more plus that make the high expenses seem understandable). And although I'm not that interested in audio, once again, if you happen to be going to spend the big bucks for a camera, at least it offers you color and audio as an selection.
    Night time excellent. Once again, if all you care about is crystal clear footage in the daytime, then the indoor camera is for you. But for me, I began to get frustrated that for so much income, I was only acquiring daytime footage. For a bit much more revenue per camera, I feel that it was nicely worth it, to be able to see what is going on in my residence 24/7.
    Logitech server. This is a difficult one particular to explain, but I'll do my best. When you install the cameras and computer software, the alert process is dependent on Logitech's servers / service. In the month that I've been applying the camera, I only had 1 time that their servers went down. In that time, the cameras in my dwelling were recording as they should certainly BUT the alert notification system will not operate if Logitech's service is down or disrupted. While it was only down for a couple of hours, I was nevertheless pretty unpleased offered the fact that the alert process is what it's all about. I don't want to come household to acquire my home has been burglarized and did not get a text mainly because the servers were down. Instead, I want to get a text message telling me a person is there, that way I can call the police and enhance my probabilities of getting the suspect though he is still in the residence. The alert service has only been disrupted once, but tends to make me nervous for what's to come down the road as these cameras start to sell.
    Alerts. Again, read my Pros section about the alert function. Exactly where I had a issue is how extended it can take to get the alert text message. I've completed some fairly substantial testing and it ranges between 40 seconds to four minutes from when my phone gets the alert text message. Now 4 minutes could not seem like a lengthy time, but a skilled criminal can do A LOT in just a couple of minutes. I am not too pleased about the variations on alert occasions, specially given that there appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why from time to time I get the notification in below a minute, but other times over 3 minutes. Clearly, it has to do with Logitech servers.
    Plug outlet needs. Even though I get why you have to plug in your unit to the actual wall, it does not mean I have to like it. It is been a little bit of a challenge with some of my cameras to discover a fine discreet location coupled with getting an on the market outlet there. I am guessing that at some point, Logitech will begin promoting overpriced extension cords or power bars that enable the cameras to function even devoid of being straight plugged into the wall. I believe a read couple of reviews from consumers that have done this though I would live to get their reply or feedback in this critique thread.
    Thanks for reading!
    Updated Assessment 12/19/11
    So right after a great deal more than a year of owning these surveillance cameras, I wanted to update my evaluation.
    Originally I bought the indoor cameras, on the other hand, quickly realized that the outdoor cameras are your most effective bet - even if the cameras are all for the inside of your home. I still strongly stand behind that assertion. Just after a year, I've upped my technique to 4 outdoor cameras that are placed in and outside of my home.
    I have to say that following a full year, I'm nonetheless incredibly happy with the technique and I use it every day. A single aspect of the method that did get a welcomed update is the iPhone / iPad application. The greatest portion of the updated app is the ability to see all of your cameras' viewpoint devoid of having to selectively choose each camera. Though I... Read more›

    From the moment I opened the box the Logitech Alert 750e Outdoor Master Security Process with Night Vision was quite uncomplicated to fully grasp and had fantastic setup diagrams with color coded ribbons for anxiety free of charge setup. Where I was mounting the unit 20 feet off the ground I connected everything in the home and tested it to make positive it was working first. As soon as the camera was mounted in spot I simply adjusted it to the area I wanted to monitor and then made use of electrical tape around the mount joints as they are not as tight as I would have expected and I did not want to have to climb a ladder right after every single wind storm to adjust. Setup was very quick immediately after installing the mounting bracket.
    It need to be noted the the ribbon (power) cable that connects to the outdoor camera is so flat and thin that you can bring it in by way of a window with out compromising the window seal when the window is completely closed. This is a enormous plus as I did not require to drill a hole for it.
    I set up email alerts and also I hugely advocate if you have some blowing tree branches in view as I do that you set up specific regions for movement detections. If you do this and set the motion rate for recording you will capture only scenes of interest which tends to make it so considerably much easier when reviewing recordings.
    The master method comes with the network hardware and the invaluable command center. This is quite effortless to navigate. You can zoom, pan and tilt effortlessly. I am thinking of adding this software for remote viewing as nicely.
    The night vision is suprisinging quite pretty fantastic in low to know light. I am incredibly impressed with the night vision and have to say that it is properly worth the added revenue.
    The only drawback I can see to this technique is that if you allow and use the audio component which comes built in and has superb range, picks up way to considerably wind. I would like to see an add on for wind noise reduction. This would not preserve me from hugely recommending this product. I did a lot and I mean a lot of study (hands on and reading) ahead of generating my decision to buy this camera and I am particularly glad I did.
    I hugely recommend this item! Picture is exceptionally clear not washy like other people. The audio is beneficial enough to capture voices and sounds with in the whole viewing places and often beyond.
    I was not able to figure out how to upload a few images with this assessment otherwise I would have.
    Thank you Logitech for a excellent and well built system that seems to have it all.
