I'll describe the digital PTZ feature a bit later in this review. You try to aim at a specific spot in a room and find your camera is pointing somewhere else. To be honest with you, I prefer this as most of the physical PTZ cameras (meaning that they actually move upon command) have a real problem with Internet latency and often overshoot their target. Rather than have physical PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom), the Logitech cameras use digital PTZ.
The company sells power/networking cable in lengths up to 100 feet, so your system can cover a lot of area if you so desire. The outdoor camera system, which I did not test, has a weather-resistant casing that looks like most outdoor security cameras you've seen. There's a switch to shut off these two LEDs as well. The power unit has a couple of LEDs, a green one for telling you that the unit has power and a blue one that indicates a connection to the powerline network. The system includes interchangeable plugs for a variety of outlets. On the other end of that flat cable is the power unit, which plugs into a standard wall socket. One other camera feature I almost forgot to mention is a 2 microSD card to retain images even if your network goes down. There's a button for turning off the red LED on the camera, something I highly recommend unless you like seeing red lights flash every time you move. On the back of the camera is a removable door into which a flat cable with an RJ-45 connector is plugged. The camera comes with a variety of mounts - there is a simple dock for placing it on a table or desk, a suction cup for sticking it to a window, and a ball-and-socket mount on a short arm that can be mounted on a wall. First, there's the camera (image above), which has one of the largest lenses I've seen on a webcam of any sort.

Let's look at the components of the indoor master system, which goes by the full name of Alert 750n Indoor Master System with Night Vision. Setup is easy enough that anybody can do it. Additionally, you can put a camera anywhere there's a wall plug - inside or outside.
Before you dismiss them just because of price, you've got to understand that these cameras provide a live 960 x 720 pixel, 15 frame per second wide angle image that surpasses any webcam or security cam I've tested so far.
