I dont know if you are trying to use PLC
but my understanding Cameras only support
RF commands, they do not support PLC.

mainman134,

Dont pay attention to Bejing, I have been
running ahp 3.186, smartmacros, iwitness
connect to PC (but not always on) with a
phase coupler/repeater using XP sp2 and
have no problems. Macros and timer have
been running fine since 3.186. Iwitness
could use a little work but I was a beta
tester so I cant complain.

No one has the same Identical PC setup,
software from different vendors can cause
problems the same is true for the hardware.
There is no way X10 can test everyones
setup. Users delete and change things all
the time could impact you software. Go to
any software site.

So try to post as much info as possible:
- AHP ver
- Window OS
- is the C15A always connect or not.
about you setup and what your trying to do
and hopefully X10 or other users mayh be
able to help you.

Mainman134:  The X10 cameras are turned
on/off via their power supply, they transmit
via RF the Video picture.  The instant on
camera’s power is on for the camera all the
time as long as the power transformer is
plugged in and only the video transmitter is
toggled.  The camera transformer is where
you set the house and unit code for
transmitter on/off commands. The Camera
setting a, b, c, or d is for the video
transmit frequency to a companion receiver
also set to same a, b, c, or d video
transmit (receive) frequency.
