I want to invest in a home security system.
Reading all the posts in this forum makes me
think I should not buy an x10 system. I
want to have the capability for night use,
take pictures and rotate pictures from 1
camera to the next. The salesman said I
could take pics in 6-second intervals with
the software supplied.

I'm with you. I've been researching the
cameras & trying to educate myself, but am
very much scared off by all the negative
feedback here. Also, sadly I tried some
email support to get answers to a couple
questions & received one line answers that
did not answer my question but referred me
back to either a phone number or online
documentation (which I had already read, but
was looking for clarification). It concerns
me as if pre-sales support is sorely
lacking, I'm very afraid of what after-sales
will be like. I'll watch your thread to see
what info you get.

I found this company
http://www.123cctv.com/security.html and the
equipment seems to be a step up over this
stuff. Yet, prices are reasonable vs some
of the security camera systems I've been
seeing. Thier out of Littleton, CO and look
legite. But, as w/ the X10 you can not
trust everything you read. They offer
infrared cameras and was wondering if
anybody could comment on these products.
Thanks!

I just purchased a Philips PH61153 switcher
from walmart to switch between 4 cameras
that I think will work good for me. I'm
going to check out the site you mentioned as
I only have one camera so far (I'm going
with wired). RadioShack (Security Labs) has
some that offer better resolution than some
of the X10's & I'm still shopping. I plan
on using X10 addresseable power supply to
switch between cameras (12v). I'm going to
go look at the site you mention now. It
seems to be coming together. :)

Don't buy X10 - period. You WILL regret it.
I have been more than patient with their
lame promises, sloppy sales, and while they
have all their products back and have for a
month now, they refuse to answer email
requests as to when I will see my $600.00
refund, and telephone support is a joke.
Spend a little more money, get a working
usable product from any X10 competitor and
you will be much better off.

i agree. junk junk junk

Very Interestng I've checking this site for
awhile. Totally in the dark about video
security but I would like to have one. It's
less complicated getting a pistol living in
Chicago. Damn site looks ok but support is
very important to me. Hows the quality of
the products?

I have a 4 camera setup, with Multiview,
Webview, and Xray Vision, along with
numerous lights, motion sensors. As far as
the cameras, they work fine, can switch
between the 4 cameas on the TV or PC with
Multiview, no problems. I can get emails of
snapshots from the 4 cameras at work, but
as of now am still trying to access cameras
with Webview. I am pleased with the
light/sensors setups and automations, and
camera view at home, but only somewhat
pleased with remote access at this time.

possible x10 customer/plaintiff

Sometimes I have found that a product does
not work to my satisfaction. HOWEVER, I
personally have found x10 to be very
responsive to my request for full refund or
replacement.
And, if the product is satisfactory, which is
most often is, how can I beat the price ??
If someone can answer the price question,
please respond.

I just installed the low light camera and
was quite pleased with it.
I live up north in -20 degree weather and
it worked better than I expected.

I just made a searchable forum for x10
users like myself. Come check it out.

DO NOT!!! even think of buying this junk!
DO NOT belive positive opinions! IT DOES
NOT WORK! Night vision cameras - well they
see nothing in the night, motion detectors
detect no motion, computer software is
junk...Money back guarantie - that good
one - I wait six weeks. They gave back
money $85 short - now I have to fight with
them for my full refund. How many times
Skootch used word junk - double it!
