The amazing FloodCam is a weather-resistant wireless color video camera with built-in 2.4 GHz transmitter and motion sensor and attached dual floodlight casing. The FloodCam is activated by the integrated motion sensor so that when someone approaches your home, the floodlights (bulbs not included) come on, turning night into day and the camera catches the startled intruder on video! The camera transmits its picture via a built-in 2.4 GHz transmitter, to a Video Receiver (included with Complete Kit) which you connect to a TV anywhere in your home. The FloodCam sends the wireless signals even through walls, up to 100 feet so you can watch and record all the action!

The SECRET behind the FloodCam is the "smart" Built-In Wireless Motion Sensor (see photo on right). The video camera always turns on when motion is detected and the floodlights always turn on when it is dark and motion is detected. (An X10 Transceiver is NOT necessary for this but required for multi-camera applications.)

In a multi-camera setup, the motion sensor sends wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals to an X10 Transceiver (or VCR Commander II.) The Transceiver receives the signals from the Motion Sensor and passes them onto your house wiring. These signals send the information back out to turn off the other cameras or to sound a chime, illuminate hallway lights, etc.

"Integration & EASE OF USE are WHY X10 customers LOVE the FloodCam!"

This is a very simple system to install - just a few connections and you're up and running assuming you will use the FloodCam to replace an existing floodlight fixture. If not, you will need to install a wall box and run conduit to it. If you need help installing a wall box and running conduit please contact a local X10 professional installer. Of course, you could accomplish this application using 3-4 other X10 products. You could order an EagleEye Motion Sensor ($25), an InstantON Wireless Camera ($100), a Dual Floodlight Motion Detector ($50), even some Lamp Modules ($13/each) or Socket Rockets ($20/ each). With the FloodCam you have ONE easy solution integrated as ONE product for a fraction of the costs of buying each individual part!

YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING: Underneath the FloodCam unit (shown: upper, left) is a hidden control panel (shown: left) that allows you to easily configure all the settings! Set the Channel to the same channel on your Video Receiver. The FLOODLIGHT CONTROL function allows you to detect motion at all times (LIGHT) or only when it gets dark (DARK). Using the TIME DELAY dial you can adjust how long the camera waits to turn off after motion has stopped. The CAMERA MODE switch lets you set how the camera responds to motion and X10 controllers. Using the 2 dials at the bottom, set the camera's unit code and house code (example A-4). Keep your cameras in groups of 4 for better scanning control. To download the Manual, Click Here! (.pdf)

About VCR Commander

Use VCR Commander to record "only the action" on your XCam2 video camera, whether you're home or not. Anytime the FloodCam Motion Sensors are triggered, the VCR Commander System wirelessly enables the appropriate X10 Camera and VCR, and automatically records the activity! No wasting tape!

About the Decorative Dimmer Switch

Take control of your overhead lights in any room of your house, and make them dimmable, too! With the Decorator Dimmer Switch, you can make any overhead light controllable by ActiveHome or other controller devices while maintaining local control of the light switch. Comes with both White and Ivory rocker plates so you can easily match your décor.

About the Lamp Module

Control your lights from across the room or from the other side of the house! Incandescent lights can be dimmed too, even if they don't normally (halogen and fluorescent bulbs cannot dim). Set the best lighting level for any lamp or light in your house. Plug the lamp into the Lamp Module and plug the Lamp Module into any normal wall socket-it's that easy! This device is ideal for controlling nearly any lamp in your entire home.

About the Remote Chime

The Remote Chime is designed to work with any X10 Motion Sensor, including the Floodlight Motion Detector and FloodCam. When the motion sensor detects someone approaching, it triggers the Remote Chime to sound off, letting you know that someone's in the vicinity. The Remote Chime can also be used with the ActiveHome two way computer interface to chime on the hour.
