The World’s
First Wireless Personal Broadcast System
Seattle - January 19, 2000
-X10.com’s (www.x10.com/pressroom44.htm)
new XCam2 is key to the company’s
vision to provide the best wireless technology possible packed into a
lightweight analog video camera for under $100.
Imagine the benefits of adding a
color video camera to your X10 setup that weighs less than four ounces
and can be mounted anywhere in a home or office. The XCam2 Kit
features the hugely successful XCam Anywhere™ and includes an
integrated transmitter and external power supply. Simply focus the
camera on any area you wish to view and plug the receiving unit into a
TV, VCR, camcorder or monitor. Now sit back and enjoy the comfort,
convenience and security of a state-of-the-art solution using
2.4-Gigahertz wireless technology.
X10.com knows there are times when it
would be great to be able to use the XCam2 to view what’s happening
at home or the office from a remote location. By purchasing the XRay
Vision™ accessory kit which includes a USB converter, X10.com
customers are once again able to reach beyond their desktop PC’s to
capture and view images via the Internet using their new XCam2.
The XCam2 is yet another example of
X10.com’s commitment to join all of the electronic devices in the home
together in a way that is easy to control and manage while at the same
time providing superior performance for unbeatable prices. X10.com’s
vision is to make wireless camera products that are as integral to the
Wired Home as their longtime X10 industry standard known as Powerline
Carrier Technology.
“Look, while the other camera
vendors are racing to win a stale and boring category, X10.com is in the
middle of a wireless revolution and releasing already our third
generation color video camera using 2.4 Gig Hertz technology,” said
Alex Peder, president, X10.com. “The leading camera vendors are all
about limited function USB Cams- a market stalled by the shackles
typically associated with the best selling models. We are headed in a
completely different direction. One that we think will lead to X10.com
becoming the undisputed King in bringing cutting-edge wireless camera
technology direct to the customer via the Internet at a greater value
dollar for dollar than any other vendor, period.”
