X10.com’s New XRay Vision™ Video Camera Kit:

Combining the Power of X10’s 2.4GHz Wireless Technology with the Affordability of a Web Cam to Extend the Reach for Capturing and Sending Images Remotely via the Net

Seattle - December 13, 1999 -X10.com®  has combined its 2.4GHz wireless platform with USB technology to offer the XRay Vision Kit, the premier solution available to capture and send images remotely via the Internet from anywhere in the home or office.

The XRay Vision Kit features X10.com’s hugely successful XCam Anywhere, the super small, indoor-outdoor mini-color video camera that transmits video and sound wirelessly from one location in the home to a desktop PC, TV, or VCR. Thousands of computer and technology enthusiasts are using the XCam Anywhere to remotely view front doors, entry ways, swimming pools, and kids bedrooms.

Now X10.com has added an entire new application to its line of cameras by creating proprietary Internet photo capture and remote viewing software unparalleled among traditional net cams and web cams. XRay Vision is the only Internet-based kit to offer the additional flexibility and mobility of a wireless camera.

X10.com’s Video Sender 2.4-gigahertz wireless broadcast system converts the signal from the camera into Radio Frequency broadcasts. These broadcasts are captured by the 2.4-gigahertz Receiver and then transmitted to the PC via the USB converter (included), making installation a breeze.

“The Internet photo capture and remote viewing software in this kit is without exception one of the key developments in X10.com’s strategy for extending the reach of the PC,” said Alex Peder, president, X10.com. “Just imagine the power of being able to reach beyond the desktop with this wireless solution to capture images for email and conferences from anywhere in the home. The XRay Vision Kit is truly the best of both the wireless and USB video camera products available today.”

The XRay Vision Kit is easy to setup and use. The XCam Anywhere mounts without effort to walls, both indoor and out. Simply plug the camera into the Video Sender and plug the Video Receiver into the PC via the USB converter. Just download the software and enjoy the benefits of X10.com’s latest breakthrough in wireless entertainment products.

Availability

The XRay Vision Kit is available for $199.99 at X10.com or by calling 1-800-675-3044.
