Amazing. Thanks so much, I very much appreciate your knowledge on this!

Good day all, I recently moved into a new house and the previous owners left the Logitech Alert system on the home and gave instructions on how to use it. There are 2 cameras and it works great, but I'd like to upgrade the system a bit. Wondering where I should start in terms of IP cameras similar to Logitech Alert (It's a rather large house, and I'm not handy at all.) I'm OK with drilling for the camera mount, but I have no idea how to run cable through the walls to a central location. The Logitech system has a POE adapter and then sends the data through the electrical system of the home which works great. That's what I'd like to keep it as. POE, Power Line Ethernet but with a higher quality camera. Any advice? I've done some reading on the forum and don't understand a lot of what I'm reading. Forgive me, but I'm a pilot not a CCTV expert! Thanks all.

Thank you buellwinkle. Would it be too much to ask for you to provide a link, or brand name to both the Powerline adapter you use, as well as the plug style PoE injector? Knowing that you have had success with these particular units would really help my purchase. Thanks so much for taking the time to help! I assume I need to look at "IP" cameras not ones that require an NVR?

How are you using the Logitech adapter for more than 1 camera? Plugging a switch into it or something? That sounds interesting... I could run Ethernet to each camera outdoors or something. That's interesting and I'm really interested to know more!

Currently Logitech Alert runs desktop software that pulls the video in and records it that way. Just on my PC. Looks like adding more Alert cameras may be the only way? I don't want the expense of running cable through this house. Powerline Ethernet works fantastic for the Alert I'm wondering why no one else uses this technology?
