If these are X10 cameras and not the "Airxxx" cameras, you can only have one camera on at a time. You only have one receiver which can only receive one camera at a time. If this isn't your situation you need to provide a more details. We are not good at guessing what "@ cams" are.

Very sorry.. 2 cams 1 xx20a b/w and 1 18a color cam, I was wanting to see the front of the house and the back at the same time and have it switch every 15sec. but I can only see 1 at a time in both cam frams in I-watch, Both are labled C2 and C4, 1 cam is 50ft and the other is 15ft. If I move the receiver a little bit I will see the deck cam in both frames move it back and I see the front of the house. Why cant I see both cams in there own frame. any thoughts

What software are you using to switch and display the cameras?

What X10 interface are you using the software on?

Only one camera can be on at a time.
They work in groups of four. Same House Code {C in your case} and Units 1-4,5-8,9-12 and 13-16. You are in the same 1-4 Unit Group.
Turning any one in a group turns the other three off. They are controlled by a power line command.
One of the cameras is on C2 and the other on C4 correct?
