ActiveHome Kit

The ActiveHome Kit works with your computer to transform your home into a network of controls allowing lights, appliances and security systems to do what you want when you want. It only takes 15 minutes to setup and is certain to make you the talk of the neighborhood. Your friends will be green with envy when they see how you can make your home looked lived-in while you’re away, create a romantic mood after a night on the town, even automate a morning or evening routine.

ActiveHome communicates through your existing power lines (AC wiring) to control things in every room of your home. Once you tell the software what to do you can turn off your PC. All of the information is stored in the computer interface, which allows control from any outlet in the home even when your PC is turned off.

Activehome Components

ActiveHome software - This easy-to-use program empowers users to schedule times/days for lights and appliances to turn on and off, in addition to creating powerful routines called macros.

Computer interface - The interface allows the computer to communicate with lights and appliances throughout the home remotely. Once programmed, the interface unit can be disconnected from the computer and still control functions from any outlet in the home.

Ultimate Super remote - The remote acts as both a home automation and home entertainment tool providing controls for six different functions. Use the universal remote for your TV, VCR, cable, etc. Hit the X10 button, now the remote will control lights and appliances manually and activate programmed macros.

Transceiver module - The transceiver module translates radio frequency signals from wireless controllers into a powerline signal that controls AC modules. This unit also functions at the same time as an appliance module.

Lamp module - The lamp module receives commands from the ActiveHome software to turn on or off and brighten or dim any lamp.

DVD Anywhere Kit

The DVD Anywhere Kit sends the audio and video from the DVD movie on your PC to the TV using 2.4-gigahertz wireless signals. A simple two-step process is all you need. Step one: plug the transmitter into the back of your PC. Step two: plug the receiver into the back of your favorite TV. Now you can experience DVD quality from any TV up to 100 feet away from your PC.

XCam Kit

XCam is essentially a mini-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. Simply plug the VideoSender receiver into the back of the TV, VCR or monitor you wish, and voila’, live video appears. The two units are wireless and talk to each other using a 2.4-gigahertz radio signal.

XCam/VideoSENDER Kit

XCam color video mini-cam - The mini-cam captures full motion video and outputs a regular TV video signal to the wireless video transmitter.

VideoSender Unit - The video sender transmitter takes the video signal from the X-Cam and translates it into a 2.4-gigahertz radio signal.

Monitored Home Security

This advanced professionally monitored system is X10's best solution for effective, easy-to-install, and monitored home security. It not only incorporates all the features expected in a much more expensive system, but also includes many features that can't be found at any price in other systems. When an alarm is triggered, the Monitor Plus Security System will sound a built-in 95dB siren, optional extra-loud sirens, flash X10 controlled lights and send a digitally coded signal via your telephone line to the monitoring station. The monitoring station will then call your home to confirm if there actually is an emergency situation or if it was a false alarm. If there is no answer or if it does not receive the correct password from the person answering, the monitoring station will call the local police and up to three other people you specify. (If you wish, you can request that it does not call the police.)
