I just add a second Vanguard Camera and it seems to be interfering with the the signal from the first Vanguard Camera. I have tried different settings within the Vanguard software and still no luck. It only works if I disconnect the first vanguard camera or vice versa.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Can't say about the software, but only one wireless camera can be on at a time or they interfere with each other.
How are the House and Unit Code settings on the addressable power supplies set?

The first Vanguard camera is set to House Code A, Unit Code 1 and the second Vanguard camera is set to House Code A, Unit Code 2.

Did you say that 2 Vanguard cameras cannot be connected at the same time? Does this mean that I can only install one otherwise it will cause problems?

No you can have 4 without added requirements. Only one can be on at a time. I am not farmilliar with the Vanguard model, but have used other ones. Basically the power supply for the camera has a addressable on/off function. They work in groups of four. House Code and Unit 1-4;5-8;9-12 and 13-16. A powerline  ON to lets say your A1 should automatically turn off A2 A3 and A4.
I may brave the X10 sales site [I do HATE those stupid talking messages] and see the Vanguards users manual.
May have more data later.
Later:
Did you set the second cameras address as shown in the manual [yes I did find it]. Moving the program switch 'program' and using the remote to set it to C2? Manual said you can use up to four so maybe it is a setup problem. Below is the Knowledgebase address where you may fine added help.
