Logitech WiLife Digital Video Security–Indoor Master System Camera
This was supposed to be easy to set up and install.(Untrue)The price was right and the reviews were excellent. So far, two different professional technicians have been unable to get it to function. I’m very disappointed and plan to return the item.
This security system is for gadget lovers who enjoy puttering around for hours until they figure out how to solve the many problems inherent in the product. I am a disabled senior citizen looking for a simple, economical home security system. This ain’t it.

Save your money! This system is horrible! Most of the time the online service is down. The camera cuts off copying the motion even when it is still going on. The wireless capability is buggy and keep going up and down. I had to run wires in order for it to record continuously (when it decides to). Overall I am guessing the good reviews are from the company itself because I see no value in the system. Oh and the premium service is worthless as well. The website is down most of the time, there is no way to automatically have the videos auto upload to the site anyway, they sell extra space online, but I can’t figure out why. When asked they didn’t even know. You have to manually put it up there, huh? The system has no ability to go back into your system and get the videos when the site was down. There is no way to get the camera to move around as stated unless you want to change your security options in the modem and there is no guarantee it will work once the changes are made. Save your money and look for a better system.

$500 spent on master system and two outdoor cameras…PLUS $800+ on electrician + time wasted mounting the outdoor cameras = terrible.
Initially, I was pleased with this product…My main PC is in my basement. I plugged the USB Adapter and outdoor camera into my wall outlet. System worked great! BUT, once I tried plugging the camera in to an outlet on the second story of our home (USB adapter still in the basement to hook up to my PC) I had very bad results. The system could not recognize my camera. I tried nearly every outlet in my home with varying success. I eventually called my electrician. He tried wiring the second story outlet directly to my basement outlet. No dice. His opinion was that the wiring in my house was too old (read aluminum wiring vs. copper) so he installed a completely new outlet on the exterior of my home on the second floor. This worked for about 16 hours (with poor camera connection as stated by the software’s camera diagnostics), and since then my cameras get knocked offline constantly. I checked the wiring of my outlets/breaker box and found mostly copper wiring, which doesn’t jibe with my electrician’s opinion as stated earlier. Needless to say, I’m returning my products tomorrow. Also, tried to contact Logitech’s tech support via email with a promised reply within 24 hours. It has been 36 hours.
At least I now have an exterior outlet on the second story of my house for Christmas lights! Thanks for nothing, Logitech!

I like logitech products. I installed the software, usb port and camera very quickly. I did not read the manuals. I was able to see the camera contents quickly, both through the desktop tool and online web page.
I was surprised and very disappointed to learn that I cannot control the camera’s zoom, pan, etc. function from the desktop. You have to upgrade to premium plan at $80 year to get that basic function. I found that ridiculous.
I could not get email alerts to go to my own domain mail server. I finally managed to get it to work with gmail.
The alerts mechanism is odd. I cannot figure out how to get it to send video clips over email during a motion sense.
Overall, easy to setup, but the remote control and email config are very bad. I may send this back after a few unsuccessful more attempts.
