Xcam2 Color Video Wireless Security Camera

Is the xcam2 color video wireless security camera from X10 the perfect wireless security camera?

This mini security cam can hardly be described as perfect and has its limitations but with its low cost, does represent value, which is in all probability unbeatable.

Not the surveillance system for high security situations but as an affordable home system the xcam2 color video wireless security camera certainly deserves consideration.

So what does this wireless color camera system do?

The xcam2 sends color video images to any TV set (with any type of screen) so you do not need to buy a separate cctv monitor and what is more it can be set to record the images it captures on your VCR. It is a motion activated system so it only springs into action when there is something to record.

Installation of this very compact camera is simple, if you can use a screwdriver you can install it yourself and save on contractors fees.

Being wireless there are no video cables to run and this speeds up installation time. You should note however that the xcam2 color video wireless security camera still needs connecting to the power supply. To make the system truly wire-free you will need the battery pack which is an optional extra, the pack gives you “up to 4 continuous hours of power.”

But most users do not find it burdensome to use the system plugged into the power circuit and used that way there is no restriction on recording time.

Simply install your color security camera where you need and plug it into a wall outlet, place the video receiver close to your TV and plug it in. Connect it to the TV video jack and detect the channel that your camera is broadcasting on. Then adjust the signal and your xcam2 is operating, that is all you have to do.

If you have a Picture-In-Picture TV set you can keep an eye on things and view your favorite shows at one and the same time.

Being X10 makes the xcam2 color security camera system expandable (you can add up to 16 cameras.) Many extras and accessories are available.

What is the Image Quality of the Xcam2 Color Video Wireless Security Camera?

The xcam2 color video wireless security camera is a low cost, easy install piece of equipment that delivers excellent value for money. Does it give a first class picture under all lighting conditions? No, the xcam2 does need some light to operate and the better the lighting the better the image.

Depending on where you install your xcam2 camera you will want to experiment in order to obtain the best picture. If you are using the system to monitor the exterior of your home for example you may need to install security lighting for when the sun goes down. And as this camera transmits when it detects movement you can set the lighting to come on at the same time (the sudden switching on of the security light may even scare off a potential burglar.)

For most applications the picture quality of your xcam2 color video wireless security camera will be adequate if not brilliant. Most likely you will be using the camera to check who is at the front door before you open it, using it as a nanny cam, to keep a check on the kids or to record prowlers on your VCR. You likely will not need Oscar winning images.

Is the xcam2 a weatherproof wireless surveillance camera? X10 advertise this camera as weather resistant, they don’t say weatherproof. Yes the tiny security camera is fully encased but if you are mounting your surveillance camera outdoors you should give some thought to heavy downpours. Perhaps mounting it close up under the eves would be a better idea than mounting it directly exposed to the elements.

All orders from X10 Wireless Technology Incorporated may be returned within thirty days for a full refund. With the xcam2 color video wireless security camera you also get a one-year replacement warranty against unexpected problems.
