 Perfect for my needs November 5, 2008

I am happy with this system. It performs as described and is perfect if you don't want to hack up your house running network cable. I have a full up 6 camera system, and it's has performed in excess of my expectations.
Based on all of the negative reviews floating around about this setup, you'd think this system was a joke....from software, connection issues, performance issues, it doesn't do this, it doesn't do that. Whatever. I find that most negative reviews come from technically challenged individuals, or those that have unrealistic expectations. We haven't experienced the issues others have reported. We have the most current software (v2.5) and camera firmware, and have had no issues whatsoever. For the price, we're getting what we paid for.
The specs on this system are clear. If it doesn't meet your needs, then don't buy. We find that it surpasses our expectations. It's great to have a record of all of the activity that goes on around our home while we are absent. Now that we have this system, we find that we cannot live without it. It's like going from dialup to high speed internet....you can never go back. We'll never be without a surveillance system again.
My second (outdoor) add on camera. Still very satisfied June 14, 2010

I have had a Logitech WiLife indoor and outdoor camera for over a year now. They have worked without a problem. No camera rebooting, no 'lost' cameras, etc.
To cover another angle of the house I added this outdoor camera to the system in May 2010. It could not have been easier to install. You plug it in and the software finds it, that's it. The most time was spend adjusting the view angle of the camera once it was installed, having to climb up and down a ladder and going back inside the house to see the adjustments. (If I had a internet connected smartphone or labtop, even that would have been quick) The manual says that it should not be plugged into a power strip, don't know if that also implies that an extension cord should not be used. Maybe I should not recommend this, but, I have used a 25 foot heavy duty outdoor extension cord on both of these outdoor cameras, (one extension cord is even plugged into another extension cord inside the garage!). My 20 year old "tract home" does not have enough outlets and I did not want to go through the expense and time to have new ones installed when this did work flawlessly. The quality of the image seems perfect to me, there might be a reason why this should not work well, but I have not had a problem.
On the very sunny side of the house (all day sun) I build a three sided simple box for the camera to fit underneath. It seemed to me that having this nice outdoor camera, which is a computer, baking in the sun, day in and day out, would not be good. The other camera is underneath the eave of the house and more protected from the hot sun.
A tip on the software: When in playback mode, after selecting the day(s) I want to view and pressing 'play', I use my keyboards right and left arrow keys to quickly move through the recording segments. Using the keyboard, as apposed to the buttons displayed on the monitor, it does not reset to 'pause' between each section. Selecting a playback speed higher than normal, I often use the setting of " 6.5", lets you quickly go through days of videos, even if you have lots of recorded sections, like I have in front of the house.
Highly recommend this product!
AWESOME protection for the price! February 7, 2009

Best protection for the money. I'm a widow, so when I tell the installation was EASY, I'm not kidding. All you need is a screwdriver or a drill. As soon as I plugged the outdoor camera up, my computer at the other end of a 2600sq feet house picked it up. After some adjusting the brightness and contrast, I get a much better picture than I've seen on some of the $1800 security systems!
I feel safer in my own home, and not so nervous about being here all by myself most days. I'm disabled, and if I can install this camera, anyone can. It's a great deal for the money and works just as well as the big, expensive units. My only problem? I've not figured out to make it send alerts to my cell phone, but I'm sure customer support can help me with that. This is some of the best money I've ever spent. Worth every penny and more as far as my peace of mind goes.
I also love the fact that I can access my cameras from any computer in the world, and setting up email alerts was EZ! You won't regret this purchase!!!Logitech WiLife Digital Video Security--Outdoor Add-On Camera
Exactly as advertised January 11, 2009

I started out with just one camera to verify it would work as stated. Even with Windows Vista it has worked perfectly. Never a hiccup. And being able to check the view from another computer elsewhere is a real plus! More cameras on the way. Highly recommended!

I've had 2 outdoor cameras for over 3 months. They were very easy to install and have worked flawlessly.
I'll be adding more as soon they go on sale for $189 again.
