Do you ever get anxious while you’re away from home on a busy week-long trip and worry about security of your home/office/shop?
To ease some of your concerns Logitech has launched its new Logitech Alert app, with which you can view your security camera's feeds right from the comfort of your iPad – that too irrespective of your location.
The app gives you control over Logitech’s Alert Security Camera which you have installed outside your home/office. Logitech Alert, the home security system, was launched last year and streams crisp, clear 720p HD video coupled with rich sound quality that’s captured by the user’s Logitech Alert cameras wirelessly through your home network.
The app, available from iTunes, joins those for iPhone and Android smartphones, allows you to view the feed from your Alert camera directly on the tablet's screen.
“The Logitech Alert app for the iPad was designed to be a true mobile extension of the Logitech Alert HD video security system, and delivers on our goal to help you protect what matters most anytime, anywhere,” said James Lopez, general manager of digital video security for Logitech. “The Logitech Alert app for the iPad enhances our digital video security system by bringing users brilliant and clear HD video combined with rich audio for monitoring on the go.”
The app is a quick and easy way to check up on your home or small business and you can connect to you cameras anytime and watch the live video and hear the audio coming from your cameras.
Moreover, the Logitech Alert Web and Mobile Commander service allows you to view video recordings captured when motion was detected and manage system settings, including turning on motion alerts from your iPad.
You can also introduce additional cameras, and the external version even has a night vision mode to work equally as well in the dark.
The Logitech Alert app for iPad is expected to be available in the US, Europe and Asia in the Apple App Store at no charge beginning in April. The Logitech Alert Web and Mobile Commander service enables additional functionality on the iPad, Web browsers and mobile apps and is available at a suggested retail price of $79.99 per year.
The Logitech Alert 750i Master System and the Logitech Alert 750e Outdoor Master System are available for a suggested retail price of $299.99 (US) and $349.99 (US), respectively. The Logitech Alert 700i Add-On Camera and the Logitech Alert 700e Outdoor Add-On Camera are offered for the suggested retail price of $229.99 (US) and $279.99 (US) respectively.
