The Logitech WiLife Digital Video Security System is extremely easy to setup as it does not require you to route a lot of cables or know anything about networking because it uses your existing home wiring. It can be expanded to as many as six cameras and has software that sends you email text, picture or video alerts when motion has been detected. It can also record the activity and allow you to view it with VCR-like control. The price for the master system and add-on cameras seemed high to me at first, until I started looking at other multi-camera systems with similar DVR features. Some of them can run as high as $3000, compared to around $1450 for a 6 camera WiLife system. The nice thing is that you can start out with just the master system and add on more cameras as needed. If you need a video camera security system for your home or small business, the Logitech WiLife system might be just the right solution for you.”

Look at that old-school clock. How quaint. How boring. How crafty. Nestled in one of the dots along the top border of the WiLife device is a spycam. If you look at the laptop on the right, you'll notice an image of me taking a picture of the clock (the second square from the top).

Fortune Small Business

Until recently a small-business owner who wanted to install video surveillance had to spend $4,000 or more for a basic product from a giant security company such as ADT or Honeywell. Dealer-installers controlled the industry, and inducing them to come to your building to string wire and mount cameras was akin to hiring an electrical contractor.
