Logitech's
Alert camera system has given security to Android, BlackBerry, iOS and
Windows users alike, yet there's been a conspicuously Mac-shaped void in
support. The control extends to 16 motion-sensitive zones, digital
zoom, backups and desktop notifications for when an intruder disturbs
the peace. As the app itself is a free Mac App Store download, the only
cost left is a recent camera array like the Alert 750n to keep track of
home from a MacBook Air. Logitech is plugging that hole with a native OS
X version of its Alert Commander app. So long as Alert system owners
are running Snow Leopard or later, they'll have an Orwellian view of
live and pre-recorded video feeds from as many as six of the
HomePlug-connected cameras.
