Wireless cameras are controlled by the Address set on the power supplies.
All have to be on the same House Code as yours seem to be.
Then the Unit Codes are in groups of four. 1-4;5-8;9-12 and 13-16. Yours seem to also be in the 1-4 group.
When one is turned On the other three in the group would go Off.
What are you using to send the power line control signal to the power supplies?

Maybe best if you can give us the part numbers of everything you have. That way we maybe able to know what should be controlling the cameras.
If you have a power line problem between the cameras and the controller. You may not be able to control the cameras properly.

I can also tell you with the LM15A Socket Rocket on A1. Anytime you turn it On with a A1 AOn command the cameras on address A2, A3 and A4 will go off.

The power supplies for the cameras are just plugged into the wall. I am in apt building if this makes a difference.

The part numbers of the devices I have are (part number taken off back of each device)

3 x XC10A Xcam2 2.4 Ghz
1 x VR36A Video Receiver
1 x TM751 Transceiver
1 x MS14A Eagle Eye Motion Detector
3 x MS16A Active Eye Motion Sensor
1 x CR12A Remote
1 x VA12A USB Video Converter
1 x LM15A Lamp Socket Module

With regards to the vanguard software, in the options tab, there is a selection so that if the motion detector at A1 (LM15A) detects any motion, there is also an option to trigger a camera at whatever house/unit code you choose to start recording to the hard drive. this is not working either. So what is the next step

Regards

Kevin

What hardware are you using to control the cameras to/from vanguard?

I believe we covered this in your other post.
You will need something for the software to send and receive commands.
Most of the Vanguard instructions mention a CM19A which I don't see in your list.
