Note on HomePlug Technology: HomePlug networking uses your home's electrical wiring to transmit video. For optimal performance, avoid plugging the camera or master system into surge protectors, as these can block the signal. Direct wall outlets are recommended. In some multi-phase electrical systems, a signal bridge may be required for reliable communication between different electrical phases; consult a qualified electrician if you experience connectivity issues.
Instruccions de funcionament

Video Quality and Night Vision
The camera captures HD 720p video with a 130-degree wide-angle lens, providing a broad view of the monitored area. The integrated night vision illumination allows for clear visibility up to 50 feet in complete darkness. The camera includes an IR cut filter that automatically adjusts for optimal image quality between day and night conditions.

Important Note on Night Vision: Infrared night vision does not function effectively through window glass. If the camera is placed indoors looking out a window, night vision capabilities will be significantly impaired or non-functional due to reflections and absorption by the glass.
Detecció de moviment i alertes
Configure your camera to detect motion within specific zones. You can define up to 16 motion-detection zones to focus on vulnerable areas like doors or windows. When motion is detected, the system can send alerts to your email address and mobile phone. Alert notifications can be scheduled for specific times.
Remot Viewing
Access live video feeds from your Logitech Alert cameras remotely using an Internet-connected computer or free Logitech apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, or Blackberry devices. Log in to Logitech's secure site or use the mobile applications to monitor your property from anywhere.
DVR incorporat
The camera includes a 2 GB microSD card for on-camera recording. This allows the camera to record motion-triggered events even when your computer is turned off. Recorded videos are automatically backed up to your computer when it is connected to your network. The microSD card can be upgraded to a larger capacity (up to 32 GB, sold separately) for extended recording time.
Manteniment
Gestió de targetes MicroSD
The included 2 GB microSD card stores recorded video. When the card is full, older footage is typically overwritten by new recordings, especially after being backed up to your computer. You can replace the card with a larger one (up to 32 GB) if more on-camera storage is desired. Refer to the Logitech Alert Commander software for managing recorded footage and backup settings.
Neteja
To maintain optimal image quality, periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the lens or camera body.
Resolució de problemes
- Camera Not Connecting / "Red Lights of Death": If your camera displays red indicator lights and fails to connect, this may indicate a power or internal hardware issue. First, try power cycling the camera by unplugging it from the wall outlet for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in. Ensure it is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. If the issue persists, contact Logitech support.
- Poor Night Vision Through Window: As noted in the operating instructions, infrared night vision does not work through glass. If you require night vision for an outdoor area, an outdoor camera model is recommended, or the camera must be placed outside.
- Intermittent Connectivity (HomePlug): HomePlug performance can be affected by electrical interference or if the camera and master system are on different electrical phases. Try plugging the camera into a different wall outlet. Avoid outlets shared with large appliances (e.g., refrigerators). If issues persist in a multi-phase electrical system, a signal bridge may be necessary, requiring professional installation.
- Motion Detection Too Sensitive/Not Sensitive Enough: Adjust the sensitivity settings within the Logitech Alert Commander software. You can also refine the 16 motion-detection zones to exclude areas with frequent, non-relevant movement (e.g., moving tree branches).
- Mac Software Issues: If experiencing specific issues with camera settings on Mac software, ensure your Alert Commander software is up to date. In some cases, initial setup or specific adjustments might require a Windows PC, after which the camera can be migrated back to the Mac network.
