Did your package have anything else in it?

I don't see any device that lets you have all three cameras connected at one time or software.

Software many times has to be downloaded and you get an email with a download link.

Vanguard data: http://kbase.x10.com/wiki/Vanguard_Internet_Control_Center

I don't have much added data on Internet Access.
I know there are users here that do it and some use a different program for access.
To get more than one camera accessed. I believe a video switcher or sequencer is needed to get more than one camera into the video input on the VA12A
