HomePlug. The main ingredient for easy-to-set-up Logitech Alert Digital Video Security.

Connect your Logitech Alert™ digital video security camera to your home network through your existing electrical wires? It’s easy with HomePlug® technology.

HomePlug technology is a powerline networking standard that uses your existing electrical lines to create a local network. It’s one of the main reasons why Logitech Alert™ digital video security is a snap to get started.

The 15-Minute Setup

The 15-Minute Setup

With HomePlug, it takes about fifteen minutes to set up your Logitech Alert digital video security system.

  • Install Logitech Alert Commander software on your computer.
  • Connect the small HomePlug network adapter to your router.
  • Plug your camera into an electrical outlet

That’s it. Home Plug technology is ready to transmit secure video data over your existing wires.

What is it?

HomePlug—What is it?

Every home has power outlets and HomePlug puts them to use. Powerline networking—like other networking technologies, such as Ethernet or 802.11g—allows you to create a local network of connected computers and devices.

While Ethernet is a wired solution and the 802.11 standards a, b and g use wireless connectivity, powerline networking uses your existing electrical lines to connect your computer to your video security cameras.

HomePlug is a standards-based powerline networking technology. The HomePlug Powerline Alliance (www.homeplug.org), a nonprofit industry association, manages the development of specifications and is supported by many industry-leading companies.

Logitech Alert digital video security cameras use HomePlug AV, which features a 200 Mbps data rate, 128-Bit Advanced Encryption Standard and password protection. With millions of HomePlug-certified products in use worldwide, the HomePlug AV specification is the world’s only industry-standard, high-bit-rate powerline communication specification.

Keep in control with Commander software.

Your Logitech Alert™ digital video security system helps you stay informed and in control. Each Logitech Alert Master System comes with Logitech Alert Commander, a powerful desktop application for your PC that lets you configure your video security system, watch live video, store video on your PC and review recorded video.

In addition to that, Commander provides all sorts of valuable features—a few even the professionals don’t have. Here’s what else you can do:

  • Control and configure your video security system
  • Manage up to six cameras
  • View live and recorded video in HD resolution
  • Set up motion zones for individual cameras
  • Create and manage e-mail and mobile phone motion alerts
  • Perform Digital Pan, Tilt and zoom
  • Back up video stored on your cameras to your PC
  • Manage account and security settings
  • Receive desktop notification of important events

System management

System management

Use Logitech Alert Commander software to easily configure your video security system, watch live video, store video on your PC and review recorded video.

Live view

Live view

Want to watch what’s happening right now? Live view lets you watch all of your cameras at the same time. So you can watch your front door, driveway, kitchen, backyard, entertainment room, and home office all at once, and all in HD resolution.

Playback view

Playback view

Need to see what happened in the past? Playback view lets you access and play previously recorded video clips. Pick any day from a calendar to view a timeline of recordings for that day.

The playback controls let you play, pause, step forward and back, and adjust playback speed between super slow and very fast.

Multiple camera display views

Multiple camera display views

Both live and playback screens can display your choice of viewing modes—single camera view, four-camera view, and six-camera view.

Motion zones

Motion zones

For more precise motion detection, and to reduce false alarms, you can specify up to 16 motion-detection zones within the frame—such as doors and windows.

Alerts

Alerts

You can set up motion alerts to send text or images to your e-mail or mobile phone. You can even send alerts to more than one recipient.

Digital pan-tilt-zoom

Digital Pan-Tilt-Zoom

You can focus in on certain areas within the viewing windows to see more detail or position the camera angle to where you need it.

Automatic PC backup

Automatic PC backup

Worried about running out of space on your cameras? Don’t be. With Commander software installed, all the video on your cameras is backed up to your PC when it is connected to your network. You can then review, archive, share or delete clips as needed. And since your cameras record only motion-triggered events by default, you can store months of audio and video on as little as 20 GB of your hard drive.

Desktop notifications

Desktop notifications

Desktop notifications let you know whenever important events occur—like if motion in detected by one of your cameras—by displaying a pop-up message on you PC’s desktop. Messages include important information about the event as well as an image and an audible alert.

Logitech Alert Digital Video Security—keep informed and in control while on the go.

Maybe you received an alert that there’s been motion in your home. Maybe you need to adjust your camera’s settings. Maybe you just want to know that all is well. Whatever you need, Logitech Alert™ has you covered.

It’s free to watch

Free Web Viewer and Free Mobile Viewer

Whether you’re at work, at the store or on vacation, all you need to keep an eye on your home or small business is an Internet connection and a Web browser or a supported mobile phone with our free app installed.

From any laptop or desktop computer, just log on to alert.logitech.com with the account you create during setup and select the camera you want to monitor. You can even view cameras in multiple locations using a single login.

And if you have an iPhone®, BlackBerry® or Android® device, you can install our free Logitech Alert Mobile Viewer app to watch live video from your cameras on your smartphone.

To download Logitech Alert Mobile Viewer for free:

On-the-go control is just $79.95 (but free to try)

Premium Web Commander and Mobile Commander

For more power and control on the go, you can upgrade to Logitech Alert Mobile Commander and Web Commander.

Mobile Commander allows you to view live and recorded video as well as to manage alert settings right from your mobile phone.
