Dear X10,
My name is Mario E. Granados and I live in Lakewood, NJ. This true story is to tell you how good X10 products are.
Materials I used:
I purchased an X10 security camera 2 weeks ago, and really, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
My children and their cousins had been acting strange for the last 2 months. They looked nervous, and when they left for school they just behaved differently along with the rest of the other kids in my town.
I was trying to solve the problem, when a brilliant ray of light came from the Internet. While I was browsing on the Internet, like coming from the sky I saw a banner for the X10 camera. At first I didn't believe, but since I didn't have any option I tried it. I ordered the camera, along with the VCR Commander II (which, by the way, came free), and the Battery Pack. After two days, a package arrived at my home. It took them only two days to ship me the whole package, and in perfect condition!
I hid the camera in a tree in my backyard, where most of the kids in my little town play because it's the biggest one. Setting up the Motion Sensor with the VCR Commander II and my VCR, I put up the Motion Sensor in an area where it could detect every movement, without been discovered by my kids. Instantly, if my kids were outside, the motion sensor trigered the VCR to start recording. I left for work as usual, and when I came back there was the proof of their nervousness. I was watching the video and observing the kids and their friends playing outside. Everything was fine, until some bigger kids entered the backyard, forcing the kids (including mine) to give them money and to steal cigarettes from their parents. Those bullies were 18 & 22 and were caught thanks to my help and thanks to X10 cameras. I had a proof to show the authorities about it, and now my kids can play safely because I can watch them 24/7 without even moving.
I really recommend this camera to all the parents. It is fantastic, and one of the most ingenious ways to find out what your kids are doing.
I have helped people by telling them about the security system, and convincing them to try it. If it weren't for X10 cameras, the kids around my town may have the same, or more problems. Now even the jewelry store in town uses X10 cameras. They are affordable and easy to install. They have EVERYTHING!
THANKS X10!!!!!
Sincerely,
Mario E. Granados
