Network Adapter / Power Supply Install Note
Caution should be used when plugging the Logitech Alert
network adapter or camera power supply into a surge
protector, power strip, extension cord or UPS (un-interuptable
power supply) because they may filter, interfere with or even
block signal transmission. To eliminate any potential issues we
recommend plugging the network adapter or power supply
directly into your wall outlet.
Note: Logitech Alert network adapters and power supplies have
their own built-in surge protectors.

Using In-the-box Accessories
You can use the mini-suction cup and
cable wall clips to help route the power
supply cable (yellow connector) along
the window’s edge and provide addi-
tional security to that camera.
On a desk or table
On a window looking in
Clean the window's surface and the inside area
of the suction cup before applying it to the
window. Periodically press the suction cup

What do I do if the power supply cable (yellow connector) is too
short?
To lengthen, either use the supplied cable extender or purchase a
longer ethernet (CAT-5e) cable. Longer cables are available for
purchase at www.logitech.com/dvs/ (Accessories).
Troubleshooting
Camera connection:
What if camera/video disappears?
1) Test another outlet for your camera, perhaps one closer to
your PC.
2) Verify that the camera power supply and the network
bridge are plugged directly into a power outlet and not a
power strip.
3) Check firewall settings or press the F1 key in Commander
Software for additional help.
4) Go to Settings > Cameras > Add/Find > Find Cameras.
5) Reset the camera. See instructions in “Camera Reset
Instructions.”
