X10.comŽ’s New
XCam2™
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 XCam2
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.”
