Logitech's Video Monitoring Comes To iPad

If you're one of those ultra-paranoid type, well, there may be no hope for you. But if you just need to keep a closer eye on things from your iPad, Logitech is here to help. The new Logitech Alert app for iPad allows iPad owners to remotely view and manage a Logitech Alert Digital Home Security setup, and was designed to be a true mobile extension of the Logitech Alert HD video security system.

Adding to the Logitech Alert family of DIY home security cameras and software, the Logitech Alert app for iPad is one of the first iPad apps developed strictly for tablet-based HD digital video surveillance. The app lets you view crisp, clear 720p HD video coupled with rich sound quality that’s captured by the user’s Logitech Alert cameras — including the Logitech Alert 750i Master System, the weatherproof Logitech Alert 750e Outdoor Master System and any Logitech Alert Add-On Camera — giving you the ability to see and hear what’s going on at home or the office even when you’re miles away.

As you might expect, this gives you anytime-live-video of whatever you're trying to monitor, so you can look forward to killing a lot of time with it. The app itself is free, and live monitoring is expected to be available in the U.S., Europe and Asia in the Apple App Store at no charge beginning in April. The Logitech Alert Web and Mobile Commander service, however, runs $79.99 per year. The Logitech Alert 750i Master System and the Logitech Alert 750e Outdoor Master System, required for this to function, ranges from $300 to $350.
