INTRODUCTION TO YOUR
HOME MONITORING STARTER KIT ///
Thank you for your purchase of the Home Monitoring Starter Kit. The XG1000 Controller , a small
dedicated computer, allows you to access and control cameras and other devices in your home,
and make this information available to you wherever you are. You can access the XG1000 from any
PC with an internet connection anywhere in the world. You can even use the XG1000 from your
cell phone. You only need to use a PC to set up your XG1000. From then on, no PC is required for
the XG1000 to function.
The system uses IP cameras. These are devices that communicate through normal internet cabling.
If you do not wish to run new Ethernet wiring in your home, you can use Power Line Communication
modules (PLC’s) to use the existing power outlets in your home, instead.
In addition to the cameras, you can also use sensor modules in your home to monitor temperature,
detect a door or window opening, wet conditions and motion. These are battery powered devices
that communicate wirelessly with the controller. You can even turn lights and appliances on and off,
by purchasing optional power controllers.

■

If you have a JAVA enabled cell phone, you can access most
of the controller functions remotely through the phone.
You need to download an application to your phone
to do this. Other cell phones can receive text notifications,
but cannot view live video or control devices.
