Seattle – March 13, 2000 - X10.com (has launched the only true wireless consumer video camera that can be mounted literally anywhere in the home or office, drawing its power from a newly released battery pack.The original XCam2 broke new ground by offering a color video camera with built in transmitter that weighs less than four ounces and could be mounted anywhere within 12 feet of a power source. XCam2 owners can now easily connect the camera to the battery pack and capture full resolution TV pictures and sound for up to four hours. That’s three times more than most camcorders and five times more than mini- digital video cameras. How many times have you wished it was possible to keep an eye on kids playing in another part of the house, or keep tabs on a pet playing in the basement, even monitor the front door for a guest, relative, client or special delivery. All without having to leave the comfort of the your den, living room, or office. Its time to pack away the limited function digital camera and break out the XCam2 for the ultimate in 2.4-Gigahertz wireless technology. The XCam2 kit is simple to setup and even easier to operate. Simply focus the camera on any area you wish to view and plug the wireless receiving unit into a TV, VCR, camcorder or monitor. You can even view what’s happening at home or the office without being there. With X10.com’s XRay Vision kit, all you need is a PC and Internet connection to capture and view images remotely from anywhere in the world. "XCam2 with the battery pack is one of those application products that will shake up the leading camera vendors who continue to bet the farm on limited function USB Cams- a market stalled by the shackles typically associated with the best selling models," said Alex Peder, president, X10.com. "As a technology enthusiast, how can I even consider a digital camera tethered to a power source now that I can go anywhere I want with XCam2. It’s seems pretty simple to me. The folks who like to be on the cutting edge will devour this product. The rest will be satisfied with viewing images of whatever is within six feet of their PC."
