1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY IT. Worst thing on Planet Earth !, October 20, 2009

As a computer and Audio Video Tech with over 10 years of experience. I tell you go read the Forums in x10 even though the forum has been mostly deleted . You will know the hard hidden facts about this junk.

I had paid nearly $300- for a x10 camera kit for a client to install. The software is incompatible to all platforms. Has major glitches. Hardware , the cams are third class quality and so is the support. If you have nothing to do in life and want to sit and waste time on trying to figure out defective products then this is it.

Don't buy anything wireless from x10. Go Wired if you must. But then the software will not support its own hardware. So go figure ! or just stay away from it anyway.

I have three of these cameras.
Two of them have been working for over ten years, trouble free. The camera seems to last a long time and the power supply seems to have about a ten year lifespan.
As a basic surveilance camera you can't beat the X10.

The x-10 cameras are very small, and of limited resolution. They are CMOS sensors, not CCD, so they should be very cheap if you look around. For the price, you can put adequate video surveillance in a storeroom, porch, or nursery etc. You can have remote video for a trivial amount, when you possibly couldn't afford a CCD system. A "real" CCD camera system is a much bigger investment, and should give a better picture; but you are going to see the same thing with both cameras, so the x-10 isn't that bad!
