Title: wireless X10 Camera and X10 audio - video sender
Post by: paulsaun3 on March 20, 2009, 11:54:36 PM

Will I have interference if both of these units are active at the same time?  It appears they are are on the same frequency.

Probably you will. Have you tried varied channels for each unit? Like maybe camera on A and video sender on D.

I'm considering purchasing one of each of them.  If the separate channels have worked for others, I'll give them a try.  I assume the three camera setup uses a channel for each camera?
Brian, thanks for the comment.

Hope I'm not butting in but I'll try to explain.  The 3 cameras will be on the same frequency code. (A, B, C, D) And will have their own House and Unit code. (C1, C2, C3)

Then you could try a different Frequency code for the Video/Audio sender. (A, B, C, D)

Here is an example: camera 1 is C1, camera 2 is C2, camera 3 is C3.  All the camera frequency codes set to "A".

The Video/Audio sender would then have to be on a different frequency code of "B" or "C" or "D"

Hope this helps.

As hawk 1 pointed out. The House Code A-P used to turn the cameras on and off is not the same as the transmitting channels A-D.
