See Live Video on Your TV

08/09/1999 -- If you have the need to see what's going on in other areas of your home, such as the baby's room, check out this tiny new camera from X10. The XCam is a super-small color video camera that plugs into a VideoSender transmitter (which plugs into the wall) to send real-time video to a TV, VCR or monitor up to 100 feet away. Now you can keep a watchful eye over sleeping infants or toddlers in a playpen.
     To view the videos, simply plug the VideoSender Receiver into the back of the TV, VCR or monitor you wish, and live video appears. The two units are wireless and talk to each other using a 2.4-gigahertz radio signal.
     The XCam can keep an eye on a room, like where all your guests are making fools of themselves at your party. With the camera connected to the VCR, the recorded footage will be invaluable the next time one of them steps out of line. The XCam can also focus on a door, entryway, yard, and swimming pool, almost anything. The XCam is the perfect way to stop destruction before it starts by monitoring the playroom. If you have picture-in-picture on your TV, you can watch the kids and still see the game or your favorite show.
     The XCam also works with PC video capture devices such as Snappy(TM) to freeze frames that can be saved as images and sent to family and friends or live on your desktop. XCam is also compatible with the Microsoft(R) WebTV Network(TM) Plus Service.
     The XCam Kit is available now for about $150. For more information or to order visit X10 on the web at http://www.x10.com or call 800-675-3044.
