I have 3 wireless Xcam2 wide-eye cameras with multiview and webview
Purchased in July 2006
I use them for surveillance at my personal residence, 1 cam in backyard, 1 in front, 1 on side of house and another Xcam inside.
This package has worked well for me. I have no reception problems, images are very clear and I'm happy with the system.
I run multiview on a Gateway laptop with Windows XP and have had no major problems.
I HAVE had problems with webview, more specifically connection problems. I get the "socket timed out" error message and after six weeks of troubleshooting finally gave up on webview. I now subscribe to Gotomypc.com where I can access multiview on my laptop from any internet connection and it works flawlessly!
I would purchase another camera or security device from X10, but would hesitate about buying any more software.
Overall a positive experience.

You never had any problems with the software? I have the same cam but a lot of moisture in the lens builds up hard to see on my pc . Activehome pro software work fine until I hooked up USB cable and Iwitness software. Will only run for a little while until windows closes Activehome pro. I'm new to this site so was hoping for some feedback.

I have 4 wide eye color cams which I have used for several years and they still work like new, recording to 2 VCRs and now have added multi-view which is really great. I have the vcr and computer connected to the same video sender. I have 3 black and white for night time wired and going to 3 vcrs . It's really a good system. I am happy. All my cameras are inside too, but facing the outside. I also have pan and tilt on three of the color cams. The vanguard is interesting too me and I may add those later for a better night vision.

Better read this before you buy that Vanguard! I was thinking about one until I read this.
