Utilizing the motion detection and snapshot to Vera online storage as well as motion detection alerts.
I want one!!!
Nice, but not exactly low cost!
Looks interesting but ya not exactly low cost.
Using powerline instead of WiFi is probably the worst feature of these cameras! 
So these Logitech alert series camera will not work with MeCaseVerde?
Well it doesn’t support snapshot. It support streaming but via rtsp. I am thinking that there would have to be support for the protocol in the plugin?
How do you set them up in Verde? Since they are not IP cameras I couldn’t find where to add the devices.
i found this in the forum for a foscam camera but it worked for me. you need to know the ip address for your logitech camera. if you use the logitech commander software and then run the detailed diagonstic it will provide the mac address and the ip address.
See my notes below on what I found and the steps that acted as a workaround for me… for non-Foscam users you will just have to update your URL Entry and potential PTZ Entry:
(Only Tested with Foscam Cameras)
Previously, I was able to add Foscam Cameras via “Manual IP Camera Add” (Devices → Add Devices), but after 1.5.346 Update the associated Username/Password Attributes looks to have changed and would not allow Foscam Cameras to be added via this method.
Examples below all assume the following conditions:
Camera IP Address: 192.168.1.200
TCP Port: 8080
Reason: After entering associated New Camera Info (IP Address, Port, snapshot.cgi, etc), UI5 is now trying to access the Camera Image via the following string:
“http://192.168.1.200:8080/snapshot.cgi&user= [nofollow]&pass=”
You can see this if you right click on the “Broken Image” that it unsuccessfully tries to display and look at that path/string it tries to use.
I’ve tested this directly via a Web Browser to all my Foscam Cameras (previously added/working and new) and this format will never work as Foscam only accepts User/Pass inclusions in the following format:
“http://username:password@192.168.1.200:8080/snapshot.cgi [nofollow]”
Adding a few other threads together, I was able to get the following workaround option to add correctly:
Apps → Develop Apps → Create Device
Enter the Following Info:
Device Type: urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DigitalSecurityCamera:1
Internal ID: (Blank)
Descrition:
Upnp Device Filename: (Blank)
Upnp Implementation Filename: (Blank)
IP Address: (Ex. 192.168.1.200:8080)
MAC: (Blank)
Room: <Select/Associate if you already have the room created>
Parent Device: (Blank)
Select “Create Device”, “Device Created” message should appear with new Device ID
Device should now show up in “Devices → All” (It won’t show correctly at this point, but we will add the rest of the settings to fix this)
Next, find this manually added device… Click Settings (Wrench Icon) & Update at a minimum the following fields:
Settings Tab:
URL: snapshot.cgi
Username:
Password:
IP Address: (Should already be entered in ‘192.168.1.200:8080’ format)
Advanced Tab:
impl_file: I_FoscamPTZ.xml ***(Only enter this if you have previously installed the Foscam PTZ XML File, leave blank if not)
Close out of settings & click “Save”
Within about 30secs you should see the “Camera Icon” update and if all mentioned settings were entered correctly you will see your camera image update to a live capture.
This manually added camera should now even show up in “Devices → Cameras” menu
I am curious why you say that? I know powerline is slow, but if it’s freeing up bandwith on my wifi, I don’t have to worry about wifi range, and the bandwith should be more than adequate for streaming video? I really want to know because I am planning on purchasing on…
lvandeusenii,
Is the set-up you outline above still working for your Logitech camera?
I have Logitech Alert 700e and can not seem to get it work with your instructions.
Thx

It never worked for me correctly. I couldn’t get the camera to stream. It works correctly in vlc at the port addresses, but i couldn’t get this functionality to work. I tried working with MCV but i could never get it to work correctly.
the camera’s don’t provide a snapshot feature so it’s only streaming.
