Title: How do I get my cameras to automatically switch on the monitor/tv
Post by: kevinrea on May 18, 2006, 08:37:53 PM

hi guys,

i have 3 wireless x10 cameras.
I have a VR31A wireless receiver, and a CR13A remote control.

I am trying to scan between all the cameras i have on my tv screen.,
do i have the right equipment to do it ?
if so, how ?

if not, what other components do i need to buy ?

do i set all 3 of my cameras to broadcast on the same channel, let's say B , ?
and then do I set each transformer to the same channel as the remote, let's say A.?

well that is what I have done., so let me know if I am doing this right guys.

thanks,
kevin rea

1. Set all of the cameras and the receiver to the same channel (A,B,C)
2. Set all of the cameras and the remote to the same house code. (A through P)
3. Set each of the cameras to a different unit code. (1,2,3,4,) (5,6,7,8) (9,10,11,12) Try to use consecutive unit codes within a grouping of 4. For example set the first camera to 1 next to 2 next to 3 and so on.
 4. If you do not have the CM15A you will need some sort of transceiver module for your remote to get the signal into the house wiring and to the cameras. This should be set to the same house code used in step 2 above.
5. connect the output of the receiver to your TV/monitor and make sure the TV and receiver are on the same channel.

Thanks Jim,

that is what I was missing is the transceiver for the outlets.
