INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased X10’s premier video surveillance solution. The Sentinel Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera has superior image quality, a high powered zoom, and pan and tilt motion. You can operate the camera through walls using the supplied remote control.

It comes with a weather resistant dome for outdoor mounting under an eve, on your patio, or deck, for example.

The camera uses X10’s 2.4 Gigahertz wireless technology to transmit live video through walls to a television up to 100 feet away. If you prefer a secure video connection, you can use a video cable to connect the camera directly to your TV.

The camera is also designed so that you can combine multiple cameras to provide comprehensive coverage of your home or business. Use the remote control to switch between cameras so that you don’t miss anything that goes on.

This owner’s manual will take you through setting up and using the camera. A new world of sophisticated video surveillance is waiting for you!
