Post by: jocovo on May 05, 2006, 08:25:49 PM
Hi!
I want to have 20 wireless cameras all in 1 room and receive each cameras feed individually.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

I don't know if it's possible but what possible application could you have that would need 20 cameras in one room?

20 wireless cameras would be a very hard thing to do.
First no more than One can be on at the sametime or they will interfere with each other.
You would need hardware and software capable of switching 20 cameras on and off. Cameras only have 16 address in one house code so more than one house code would also be needed for controls.
I too wounder why 20 in a room?

There are multiple spiders of a rare species breeding on this very small patch of island in the middle of a small lake in the jungles of Equador.

The island is not big enough for me. A direct wire connection is also not possible due to the fact it is an island (I can't use water proof wires ... trust me on that one ... they seem to change behavior when a direct wire connection is used but the RF cameras they ignore).

I need about 20 cameras to catch as many different angles & spiders (they are big spiders!) as possible.

It's a weird scenerio I know ....

Any ideas (perhaps using something besides X10s) would be greatly appreciated!

As far as X10 is concerned, you are out of luck. Sorry.
