Logitech 700e and 700i IP cameras

    • e = external = 249$
    • i = internal = 229$

Logitech cameras have a 'free' service associated with them that allows on to route the cameras to their web proxy so you can view them online or through an app. Technically no server required but do you want Logitech to have access to the cameras?
