How are you switching cameras?  Motion sensors?  You need to shut off the first camera when turning on another one.  Are all cameras on the same channel as the receiver?  You can receive the same video on all 4 computers if you have receivers connected to each one...  I'll quote someone else's post here...  "more info = more help."

Hi Auct, and welcome to the forums looks like this might be your first post.
As DeltaNu1142 said we would need more information about your set-up to properly help you.  I have 7 cameras viewed on 3 seperate computers and via the Internet.  There is a world of information in these forums and some really good people who can help. Let us know the following:
Camera set-up i.e.
Camera 1 - Xcam2 XX18A - plug set to H-1 - camera set to A
Camera 2 - Xcam2 XX16A - plug set to H-4 - camera set to A
etc
Receiver - VR-36A set to A
Also in case you do not know there are additional switches on the receiver and each camera for settings of A-B-C-D all cameras and the receiver require these switches to be set the same.  These switches are not the ones on the plug.
Once you have your cameras set-up in AHP be sure to save everytime you make a change.
Your cameras should automatically turn on and off based on the addresses you have set and when switching between views in AHP
Good luck

Yes, depending on what you'd like to control! X10dispatcher will give them some control over X10 devices!

Ok all 4 camera's are XC10A with video receiver VR36A  the are set up on channel A each one 1-4. connected to computer with VA11A connected to the VR36A receiver. I also have a camera control system CR12A which I can use to switch between cameras on my security monitor I unhooked it when I couldn't get it to work but still only see one camera. Also I just want to watch the cameras on my other computers depending on which room I am in.
Thanks,
auct

auct Try disconnecting the cam that is always showing and see if the remaining cams work(switch) you may have a bad power supply!
Also try sending a off command to the cam that stays on to see if it will actually turn off!

[auct]

ok the camera control system CR12A is just the remote number it is transceiver module. When I disconnect it nothing works, when I unplug the first cam then just #2 cam shows up to see them all on my computer I have to use my remote and change between them it wont do it itself.
Thanks,
Auct

I just had the same problem you need to have the TM751 plugged into the wall so it will turn on and off the cameras.

halfelite:
auct doesn't need a tm751 as AHP(cm15A) acts as one but yes it needs to be plugged in!

auct: if you can switch between cams with the remote but not from with in AHP then you don't have them configured correctly in AHP!
make sure you have the house code that they are on setup as transceived in the hardware configuration screen!
You may have to set this to specific because auto doesn't always work 100% accurately!

I'm having this problem too. Only one camera shows up. I can turn lights and appliances on and off just fine, and without the tm751 plugged in. However, for some strange reason, the cameras will not turn on or off without the tm751 transceiver plugged in! HELP, yet again
