How to Install Logitech's Alert 750i Master Security System

This system does not require installation by a professional nor a subscription to a security service company. Logitech's Alert 750i security system is set up using a video camera. The system taps electrical lines to transmit video from the camera, so no wiring is needed nor do you have to worry about interference with your wireless computer network.

  • Logitech transmitter power plug adapter
  • 1 20-foot-long extension cord
  • 2 20-foot-long ethernet cables
