Here in Florida, we have many power fluctuations, and so everything (including our crock pot) has a UPS between it and the the power grid. While we're on the topic of installation, I need to point out that you can't plug the cameras or the central hub into a UPS. You might not need an electrician, but keep in mind that if you're touching the circuit breaker box, some ordinances require licensing to do the work (and, of course, if you don't know what you're doing, you could be in for a nasty shock). Since I needed everything installed to code, I used the same licensed electrician we used to run our power infrastructure and GigE to install the Alert system. The HomePlug system is a security win as well, since the wire that extends outside the house to the camera isn't on the internal LAN, it's effectively firewalled into the camera's own private HomePlug network. Since I operate my office from home, that was a necessity. As a result, we've got a power infrastructure normally more suited to a small data center than a house. We pretty much gutted it and rebuilt it to my geeky specifications. As I've mentioned before, when we bought this house, it was a fixer-upper in the worst way. That's why I had to involve an electrician. While this might be easy installation, having the camera's power right under the camera kind of defeats the whole security concept. In fact, on the instructions, Logitech has a somewhat silly illustration showing a cable running from the outside camera, down the side of a building, to an exposed power socket. Logitech recommends a similar procedure for outside cameras. Certainly for an indoor camera, all you do is plug a cable into the camera and into the power brick, and plug that into the wall. Installation is, in theory, quite simple. At about 2GB a week, a relatively small amount of storage can store pretty nearly a year without blinking.
