• WiLife Warning!!!
  The basic product is good, however after you purchase and setup the system, you find out that you must subscribe to their "Platinum" service to enable all features. THIS IS A RIP-OFF!...more info
• System is fine until you have a problem!
  I purchased the system just over the one year warranty. Total investment with this system - 1,500.00 approx. (not including hiring an electrician to put outside outlets on my home to house the outside cameras). When the system works it is wonderful, very impressed with the system. The problem was that for that one year of service, the system decided it was not going to work properly.
  
  First one camera could not be read. Then the next day, four cameras could not be read. After trouble shooting for three days, I discovered it was not the cameras, but possibly the CRM-100.
  
  Having to deal with the WILIFE SUPPORT was frustrating. The techs were pleasant enough, but getting the problem resolved seems to be an impossible task.
  
  My third call to Wilife, I spoke to the first tech I had on my first call and after telling him everything that I had done with trouble shooting, he concurred it had to be the CRM-100 (The part that plugs into the wall, and then into the USB on the computer). The tech set up a RMA number to get a replacement part at no charge. He told me that that part there were some problems with them.
  
  I got off the phone,happy that the three-day problem was resolved, went to fill out the info to send to the company to get the replacement part, and the online form wouldn't work.
  
  So, I called Wilife Support AGAIN to have them help me get the form sent in so I could get the replacement part.
  
  This last call to WILIFE SUPPORT was one of the biggest nightmare phone calls I have ever had with any support call I have done with any kind of electronic gear. Turns out I was not getting any replacement part that the tech told me before on the previous phone call. I would have to pay $160 for a CRM-100 because my CRM-100 was a later model ---and that was probably why the online form did not work to get my replacement part.
  
  I would have to write a short book on this last phone call and will spare you with what had happened.

• Does What It Says!
  Just purchased this master system and an additonal spy camera. Set up and running in 10 minutes, so far no issues. I set up trigger zones with the software so my two cats wont activate the recording and alert features and so far so good. Wish the extra cameras were a bit cheaper but looking at other security systems I think it's worth it. There is a Platinum service which enables extra features on the command center for an extra yearly fee. If you are looking at basic monitoring the free online viewing will suffice. There are many reviews on this product out there. Some have had nightmares with set up but the majority of users like myself had no trouble....more info

• Rediculously impressed
  It took me virtually less time get this up and running and my wife viewing the video feed from her cell phone than it took to get the box open. She was a bit hesitant about ordering it at first, but after being able to check on the house from the mall parking lot, she's going to pick up the outdoor camera add-on.
  
  Also this software is top-notch, very easy to figure out. All over just a great product!...more info
• Logitec Wililife indore Security Master system
  The perfect solution for watching your home while you cannot be there. It is affordable and easy easy to install and set up. I have had mine running for 3 weeks now and I love it. It will send me a snapshot of the motion detected via email so even if someone were to steal it I would still have a picture of them. Can't wait to add more cameras....more info
• This one takes the cake for being impossible to install. . .
  I bought this product based on good reviews on this site. The box says it has the fastest, easiest 1-2-3 installation possible. NOT!!!!
  
  First I tried my newest computer, only to learn that the system is not compatible with Vista 64 bit.
  
  Then one of our older computers. Even with the single camera hooked up right next to the computer the system failed to find the camera.
  
  I called tech support. After the usual run around, they suggested the computer was too old and said, yes they do have drivers for Vista 64. They would send me an e-mail link.
  
  Still waiting for that e-mail and, in any case, I went directly to Logitech's support site and learned that the Vista 64 version is a Beta version, which I could only request via e-mail. I requested it, then tried to install the camera on yet another computer, which is XP professional and only a couple of years old.
  
  The computer recognized the camera after a great deal of trouble, then quickly lost the link and would not reconnect. I have now been on hold forever with tech support for a second try.
  
  Still waiting on hold and still waiting for the Beta version e-mail.
  
  I'll be returning this system ASAP!...more info
• A great security system option under $500
  Note: As far as I can tell, this is the exact same system as the Wilife DVS800I LukWerks Indoor Starter Kit. The only difference I could see is that one is the banding on the camera, as well as a different software version. I had them both setup and they are interchangeable.
  
  I've used several cameras in the last few years in an attempt to come up with some type of cheap home security system. After trying out the Wilife system, I have to say that it's the best option I've come across under the $500 range. The video quality is excellent, and the best part is, the motion detector on the camera works perfectly, even through windows, which most of the other cameras I've used can't handle. Setup took less than 20 minutes and I didn't have to deal with port forwarding or spend hours trying to configure my router to get it to work. I was also able to view the camera online very easily from a remote location.
  
  My only problem with the camera is that the actual camera is way too big and bulky in my opinion, and I didn't really like the mounting options. I wanted to put one of the cameras in my ceiling and angle it through a hole in the ceiling so it was undetectable, but the unit is so big that is impossible. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied. ...more info
• Easy to set up - what I was looking for
  As it is written on the adverts, it's quite easy to set up, the only matter that really takes some time is to locate the perfect place, height, distance from plug, light, scene, etc...but once you get the right place depending on your needs, it's easy to set up and start using....more info
• Easy to use and setup, but has some limitations
  I recently had my house broken into. In order to have piece of mind again, I chose to have a security system installed and opted to setup my own video surveillance system. After some investigation and research, I found the Wi Life options from Logitech and opted for this.
  
  First the pros:
  
  Easy to setup - all you need to do is plug the camera into your wall outlet (this includes the outdoor system), install the software on the PC you wish to use, plug the other USB adapter into the wall near your PC and plug the USB cord coming from this wall adapter into your PC. The Wi Life software will walk you through the entire setup so it's painless
  
  No cords to run - unlike other systems where you may have to run both a video cord and a power cord, this uses your home electrical wiring as a type of network. All you need to do is plug it into an outlet and you're ready to go. (yes, on some stand alone systems you have power and video from one cable, but you must still run the cabling through your house)
  
  Software is simple to use - the software is simple to setup and simple to use. You can copy events, as recorded events are called, to USB stick, CD, DVD or whatever medium you want to easily hand over to law enforcement. You don't have any VHS tapes or DVD-Rs to look through; you open the software, open the viewer, locate the time you wish to view then save it to an external device. Since it uses the Windows Media Video format, any PC should be able to view the video you produce
  
  
  And now for the cons:
  
  Reuires a pretty powerful PC for more than a few cameras - one thing the box doesn't really go into too much detail about are the PC requirements. For a single camera or 2, this system needs a very basic PC. If you wish to have the maximum amount of cameras in use, that being 6, you will need a PC with a ton of RAM and a really fast processor. Part of the reason for the need for a more powerful PC was Logitech's decision to use WMV (Windows Media Video) for encoding the recorded video.
  
  PC must be on all the time - For those wanting to conserve power, this is NOT the option to use. You must have your PC on all the time for recording surveillance. You can chose to turn your PC on and off when you wish to record, but this doesn't change the fact that power consumption from this device, compared to stand alone devices, will be more.
  
  Video quality - you can only get up to 15 fps (frames per second) on this. Some stand alone systems can get you 30 fps, and on the more expensive models you can get as high as 60 fps. The higher the fps, the smoother the recorded video and the easier to get facial details and so on of those perpetrating crimes against you.
  
  Limited to only 6 cameras - since this offering uses a PC, I had hoped to remove the limitation on the amount of cameras you use. Most stand alone systems I've seen allow for only up to 4-8 cameras (more cameras = higher starting costs). The limitation, it seems, is with Logitech choosing to use a PC as it's recorder. The smaller single function devices are designed to do a single type of function so they are more efficient and can handle larger loads.
  
  If you need a new PC, you're adding to the cost of the system - so if you have a PC you already leave on all the time, you're set. If not, or you wish to use your PC for other things and not mess around with the surveillance PC, expect to add anywhere from $300-$2000 to your start up costs. For the cost of the master system and a $300 PC, you can purchase yourself a decent 4 camera stand alone system. Add on 3 more Wi Life cameras at $200 each and the cost comparison becomes a no brainer. The Wi Life would run you ~$900, plus a $300 PC (possibly more, since with 4 cameras you need quite a nice PC), that's $1200. A stand alone system will run you $800 with 4 cameras. The only down side to the stand alone is the need to run cabling.
  
  
  
  One thing to note is that you must purchase ONE master system per surveillance system you wish to use. Once you have the master system (indoor, outdoor or concealed in a clock), you can quickly and easily upgrade your system with the Wi Life cameras (indoor, outdoor or concealed in a clock) without the need for another master system.
  
  
  In the end, I went with the Wi Life. The start up costs, compared to stand alone systems, was a lot cheaper. The least expensive system I found was roughly $800. I needed something quickly and less expensively than that, so I went with 2 Wi Life cameras. I had a spare, semi-powerful laptop that I had access to, so I didn't need to spend money on another PC. Factoring in the additional cost of a PC, you are much better off going with a stand alone system and running a cable (many stand alone systems let you run a single cable from the DVR (recording) device to the camera through which it supplies electricity and the video data).
  
  I am happy with what I've received....more info
• Great System. Two Wishes...
  I had been using EvoCam and my Mac to record video with my external iSight camera of my parking spots. Unfortunately, the iSight doesn't record video well at night.
  
  I ordered this and the WiLife IR-50 Illuminator Kit. Setup was quick and easy. I just followed the directions for both the Master System and the Illuminator. After the quick interchange of lenses required by the WiLife IR-50 Illuminator Kit, I was up and running recording video at night. The night vision is ok, but not extremely powerful. I suggest you install additional lighting outside, such as a porch light or motion-detected flood light. I have both of these additional light sources and only get ok results outside at night. That said, the quality is good enough if needed as evidence of vandalism in my opinion.
  
  My two wishes are stronger night vision and the ability to adjust the recording interval. Let me be clear here: you can schedule times for recording video and that works fine. I am not using it though because I am using motion-detected recording. What I am asking for is the ability to record a certain amount of time after motion is detected. For instance, I want to be able to record continuous video for up to one minute after the initial motion is detected. The software seems to be hard-coded to record only during the motion. The problem here is that, even at the highest sensitivity, it doesn't always catch the motion. If it allowed a minute of continuous recording, it would catch all the motion. EvoCam allows this granularity.
  
  Other than that, I find this to be a mostly reliable and inexpensive system. It is well worth the piece of mind it provides....more info
• Great security system!
  This is perfect to keep an eye on things while you are away. Super easy to install too....more info
