X10.com’s™
XCam BabeWatch™ Parent’s Premier Solution For Monitoring Rooms Remotely
Newest
mini-color video camera bundle allows parents to watch kids from anywhere in the home
Seattle — September 9, 1999 —X10.com
(www.x10.com/pressroom20.htm) is making it easy for parents to join the Wired Home
revolution by adding to their hugely popular XCam Anywhere™ the ability to send
clear, crisp pictures and sounds from rooms with no lights turned on.
The XCam Anywhere can be positioned anywhere and comes with a
built-in microphone specially configured to broadcast human voices.
Together with a Lamp Module™ and Mini-Controller™ , the
XCam BabeWatch is the best do-it-yourself solution available to monitor a room while at
the same time controlling the light level exactly where you need it to be remotely. This
means you are able to dim lights for when a child is sleeping and brighten lights when he
or she is awake automatically in real-time.
The XCam Anywhere™ attaches to a sending unit via twelve feet
of cord that can be easily extended using common telephone connectors. This allows parents
to mount the camera to focus on the a small person’s room and still be able to plug
the sending unit into the nearest wall outlet for power. Now you can kick-back and view
what’s happening from your favorite TV, VCR or monitor up to 100 feet away instantly
with the XCam BabeWatch.
"The XCam BabeWatch adds a new level of protection in the home
by combining some of our most popular entertainment and security products to take the
guessing out of what’s really happening in your childs’ room," said Alex
Peder, president X10 (USA) retail sales division. "This is the greatest thing a
parent could ever receive, the whole kit can be setup in minutes and the price is less
than the cost of an video camera alone."
For a limited time only, X10.com is offering the XCam BabeWatch plus
a SlimFire Keychain Remote™ , and a PalmPad Controller™ for only the price of
the XCam Anywhere at $169.99. That represents a savings of $300.00.
