Logitech

How does it work?
Start with a Logitech Alert master system and add up to five more cameras. Use any Windows PC to set up. Then, download free apps for your phone to receive motion-activated text alerts and watch crystal-clear HD-quality video streams that let you zero in on critical details like facial features and license plate numbers.

The system also records video when activated, both to its internal 2GB microSD card and to your PC when it's connected to your network. You'll have a permanent visual record of anyone or anything that moves on your property.

SMARTHOME

How does it work?
SMARTHOME offers a complete line of INSTEON-based home-monitoring and control devices that integrate your existing in-home wiring with a new wireless signal to create an ultra-reliable, flexible and expandable control network.

The SMARTHOME system can monitor and control a variety of conditions in your home. A magnetic contact sensor, installed in a door or window, issues a message throughout your INSTEON network to indicate that the entryway has been opened or closed. Optical motion sensors send another message when unexpected activity is detected. Moisture sensors can signal a potential flood in the basement.

• Home network and router
• SmartLinc central controller
• INSTEON-enabled sensor(s), such as the SMARTHOME Triggerlinc window and door sensor
• SMARTHOME's SwitchLinc remote-controlled light dimmer or LampLinc plug-in lamp dimmer module
• PC or mobile phone

How can the system be expanded?
Your INSTEON-based home control network can be enhanced and expanded in many ways. Best Buy offers a wide and growing selection of INSTEON-enabled devices from SMARTHOME and other manufacturers, for control of your home's lighting, heating and cooling, appliances, and more.

Schlage LiNK is a user-installable remote-lock solution that's accessible from any Web-enabled computer and most Internet-enabled cell phones. The Schlage LiNK system uses advanced Z-Wave wireless technology to create a reliable, secure, highly expandable in-home network that connects compatible products and provides a convenient, centralized system of control.

The Schlage LiNK keypad lock replaces your existing entryway lock and broadcasts a Z-Wave signal to your network. The Schlage LiNK light module controls home lighting, and the Schlage LiNK bridge connects your Z-Wave network to the Internet via your existing home connection (a router is required).

The Schlage LiNK Web portal ties it all together for a monthly fee (currently $8.99 per month). Using the Web portal and free software you download to your PC or smartphone, you can instantly monitor and control all installed Schlage LiNK-compatible devices (as many as 232 devices via a single bridge) from wherever you are.

Using the Schlage LiNK interface, you can program your lock with up to 19 individual 4-digit codes, personalized for each person who requires access to your home. It can also provide text or email alerts to let you know immediately when your locks have been activated, and by whom.

Note: The lever version of the Schlage LiNK entry lock allows you to control lock and unlock it remotely; the deadbolt version must be physically turned after the lock has been remotely activated.

• PC or an Internet-enabled cell phone. Find out if your phone is compatible ›

• Schlage LiNK Starter Kit, which includes:
• Schlage LiNK wireless keypad entry lock (lever or deadbolt style)

How can the system be expanded?
Additional Schlage LiNK locks, indoor and outdoor lighting modules, and network cameras can be easily added to the system. You can also add other Z-Wave devices that meet Schlage's security standards, such as Trane's energy-management thermostat and GE Jasco lighting controls. Each additional device that's connected to your Z-Wave network adds to its power and range, so it's easy to build a network throughout your home.

Panasonic's network surveillance cameras offer a uniquely self-contained solution to your home security monitoring needs. Once connected to your home Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, each camera establishes its own dynamic IP address (or Web presence). You can then use a secure, personalized website to see and hear activity in and around your home. Nothing additional is needed — just a computer or cell phone with a Web browser.

How does it work?
Customizable sensors detect motion, sound or body heat; any change automatically triggers the camera to capture and send a still image via email alert (or to a Panasonic VieraCast-enabled TV), so you're always up to date. The Web interface also allows real-time remote panning, tilt and zoom with camera models that support these features. Each camera records still images in its built-in memory, and recording software is also included that enables video capture from as many as 16 individual cameras.

• Any Panasonic network video camera
• Existing high-speed Internet connection
• Existing Wi-Fi or Ethernet network
• Internet-enabled PC or smartphone

How can the system be expanded?
