Congratulations! You have purchased X10’s most
popular wireless camera system. Your XCam2 or Wide
Eye is a powerful and versatile video solution.
Your camera uses X10’s 2.4 Gigahertz wireless
technology to transmit live video through walls to a
television up to 100 feet away. It’s also designed so
that you can combine multiple cameras to provide
comprehensive coverage of your home or business.
This owner’s manual will take you through setting up
and using the camera. The world of wireless video is
waiting for you!
Your camera is ready to go out of the box! Follow these
steps for a quick setup of your new Camera system.
You should have: a camera and its power supply; a
wireless video receiver and its power supply; and a
video cable.
Unpack these items.
Basic Camera Setup
Connect the camera to power.
Plug the camera’s power supply into a standard wall
outlet. Plug the other end into the camera. Remove
the protective cover from the camera’s lens.
Connect the wireless video receiver to power.
Put your video receiver in a convenient place near or
on your TV. Plug its power supply into a standard wall
outlet and the other end into the video receiver.
Basic Camera Setup, cont.
Connect the video receiver to your TV.
Connect the video cable into the video-out jack
on the video receiver and into the video-in jack on
your TV.
Turn on the video receiver.
Make sure the power switch on the video receiver is set
to “ON.”
Turn on your TV.
Turn on your TV and select its video input. Use the
Video or Select buttons on your TV remote control,
or try channel 0 and then Channel Down. The
camera’s picture should appear.
Once the camera and receiver are in place, adjust their
antennas so that they face each other. The side of the
camera’s antenna with the dot on it should face the side
of the receiver’s antenna marked with four squares.
Adjust the positions to improve the picture on your TV.
Fine tune the antennas.

Mounting the
Camera
You can attach your

Recording with a VCR
You can configure your XCam2 camera so that you can
record its video signal on your VCR. It’s easy:
1. Make sure your VCR is connected to play back on
your TV.
2. Set up your camera according to the instructions in
steps 1 thru 7.
3. Connect the video cable from the video receiver into
the Video In jack on your VCR.
With the camera connected to the VCR, you will be able
record surveillance video while watching on your TV.
Check your VCR owner’s manual if you aren’t sure how
to select the camera as the video source.

Multi-Camera Systems
How does it work?
XCam2 cameras are designed so that you can use more
than one camera together with one wireless video
receiver. You select different cameras using a remote
control. The cameras should be set in groups of four,
i.e., A1, A2, A3, and A4, or A5, A6, A7, and A8. You
change the setting by turning the dials on the camera’s
power supply. Ensure all of your cameras are set to the
same Housecode, e.g. A.
Setting Up Multiple Cameras
1. Get together the parts of your multi-camera system:
the cameras and power supplies, video receiver and
power supply, video cable, transceiver module, and
camera remote control.
2. Set up your first camera and your video receiver
according to the instructions in steps 1 thru 7.
3. Plug in the transceiver module and extend the
antenna.
