X10’s New FloodCam Turns Ordinary

Flood Lights into Do-It-Yourself Home Surveillance System

All-in-one unit combines lights with built-in motion sensor and wireless camera

 

Seattle — April 8th, 2002 —Gotcha! Only X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. can combine the best of their surveillance and automation technology in one wireless system to help homeowners protect a home or business.  The new FloodCam™ Kit can instantly shine lights on any intruder and capture all of the action on a TV, VCR or PC. 

     Don’t let appearances fool you.  This is anything but your ordinary floodlight.  This is a dream come true for do-it-yourselfers and tech enthusiasts on a quest to create their own home surveillance system.  The FloodCam™ can be connected to your existing outdoor wiring in minutes.  A hidden control panel controls floodlight settings to detect motion at all times or only after dark. 

    Once the light and camera are activated, you can make a permanent record of any shady activity by broadcasting the images directly to a TV, PC or VCR using X10’s 2.4 Ghz technology.  The XRay Vision software brings the whole experience to life and enables you to save the evidence on a hard drive or password protected web server.  If you already own a VCR, X10’s VCR commander kit works in sweet harmony with the FloodCam™ to automatically record images based on your customized control settings.  The days of having to wade through hours of video tape to catch all of the action are over.

     “The FloodCam™ has allowed X10 to leverage our expertise in home automation and wireless video systems to create a unique unit that provides true utility and value for less than $80 dollars,” said Alex Peder, President, X10 Wireless Technology, Inc.  “If you want to increase surveillance around your home and property, the FloodCam™ is an ideal solution do-it-yourselfers and tech enthusiasts alike.”
