Ok I have a 3 camera, wireless setup. Win7 PC. All of the drivers are loaded correctly. Whether I use Vanguard or the IWatch software the same issue exists. 1 camera works great, nice clean picture. The second I put on 2 or the 3rd the signal is all fuzzy and no matter which camera I select it is always the same picture.

2 Color X2 Wireless
1 BW X2 Wireless
VA12a USB
VR36A Vid Reciever
CM19A Transiever

Am I doing something wrong or is this equipment just junk? I have tried on Win Xp and Win 7 same results. I have the 3 cameras within 20 feet of the reciever just for testing.

In order to switch cameras, they need to be on the same housecode, and in the same group of four unit codes (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16). That way, when one turns on, the others turn off.

In your list of X10 devices. Is that all you received?

As mentioned. The cameras are turned On and Off. With power line commands.
By default they are On at power up. So more than one plugged into the AC will step on each other, until one is turned On and the others go Off.
That is how the groups {unit 1-4,5-8,9-12 and 13-16} work. Turn any unit in the group of four On the other three automatically go Off.
If you try each camera alone it will probably be fine.

I do NOT see a TM751 or RR501 RF to power line transceiver in your list.
With out a transceiver. There is no way the cameras can be controlled by a power line command. From the CM19A.
If you do not have a transceiver. You need one.
