Short Version: If you know how to plug in a lamp, you can probably set up the new Logitech Alert 750i indoor camera. Luckily, the 750i is much more useful than a lamp when it comes to home security and monitoring.

I'm kind of a connoisseur when it comes to home monitoring. My neighbor, a former Hell's Angel named Carmine, dosed me with the camera bug when he installed six night-vision cameras on the front of his Brooklyn home, a 10×40 foot slice of heaven that, in short, was monitored like Fort Knox. He caught some kids stealing his car once and even got a great video of someone stealing the rims off of a Nissan in the neighborhood. Because I work out of my attic and don't want to have to run down the stairs every time a Jehovah's Witness ding-dongs, I decided to install a camera of my own.

I originally installed a wireless Linksys camera with Vitamin D but I may just switch to something in the Logitech Alert family -- with a few caveats.

The new Alert series from Logitech offers extremly easy monitoring set-up with a few very cool features but it's Windows-only right now and the motion detection software still leaves a little to be desired.
