Setting Up an X10® Multi-Camera System

Your X10 multi-camera system allows you to control X10 XCam2™ cameras from your PC and view each camera from the XRay Vision™ software. Follow these instructions to set up the necessary hardware and software. You should have previously installed XRay Vision on your PC before starting these steps.

Set Up the Transceiver Module

Make sure you have connected the Transceiver (model TM751) to a nearby

power outlet. The outlet you use should not be too close to the back of your PC, as

your PC may create some electrical noise that could reduce the range of the transceiver. Set the House Code (letter dial) on the Transceiver to the letter you will use for your cameras.

Connect the Firecracker Computer

Interface

The Computer Interface (model CM17A) uses wireless signals to transmit X10 control commands from the computer to the transceiver module included in the kit. Connect the Interface directly to your PC's serial port. If

there is already a device connected to this port, unplug it, connect the Computer Interface, and then plug the other device into the connector on the CM17A. Important: Do not plug your mouse into the CM17A!

Set Up Your Cameras

up, turn it off using your CR12A. Repeat these steps for each camera you are setting up. Make sure to choose a different Unit Code for each camera.

Configure Your Cameras in XRay Vision

Run XRay Vision. Right click in the program window and choose "Settings"

then "Preferences" from the pop-up menu. Click on the "Cameras" tab in the configuration window. Click on the "Add" button to create an entry for a camera. Click into the "Camera Code" box and enter the House and Unit code for this camera. Make sure to enter the letter and number without a space between them. In the "Comment" box you can type a description or name for this camera. Repeat these steps for all the cameras you set up earlier.

You are now ready to control your cameras from XRay Vision. Right click in the XRV window and choose "Camera." You will be able to select from your different cameras, or tell XRV to automatically switch between all of them.
