X10 Cameras
Purchased X10 products on April 4, 2006 - Received and installed by April 8, 2006. For security/surveillance of areas
were vandalism and trash have been a common occurrence.
The Xcams:
Qty. 2 XX17A XCam2 WideEye Instant-On Camera
Qty. 2 XX20A NightWatch Wireless Low-Light B/W Camera
After a quick and uneventful installation I keep finding the Color Xcams (XX17A's) out performing the B/W (XX20A's) in
low light environments. Now my main concern after having called technical support and following their suggestion to switch
frequencies on the cameras from option A (2.411 GHz) to option D (2.473 GHz) the XX20A's cameras do not seem to improve/
perform any better. The XX17A's still better at low light than the XX20A's. Why are the color units performing better? I have
installed both (Color and B/W) side by side and as soon as the light dims the B/W looses definition and the color still retains its image.
Not sure what else to try here. Technical support said they can swap the cameras, but that does not seem like a solution, since
both of the B/W cameras are showing the same problem in low light conditions. Could there be another reason? Is there any other
adjustment in the cameras to make them NightWatch capable (i.e.: via software signal or other way?)
