I bought an X-10 camera on ebay a couple of years ago and that's when the addiction began...now I've got almost every X-10 gadget available...it's like a sickness I tell ya!

It is a sickness... I bought X-10 lights for my home theater and a few days later they were all over the house. My next step is to get some cameras
Ok.. This is an old thread.. 
But just curious, in case someone still reads this.. What is your experience with the X-10 camera's? I have most of my lights in the house automated with X-10 and Smarthome stuff, and it's working great. But I'm weary of the 2.4 GHz cameras from X-10. How do they do with interference from cordless 2.4 GHz phones? And how about 802.11g networks?
Thanks!

Anything 2.4 Ghz will interfeer with 802.11b/g. The phones hop frequencies so they randomly step on the wireless ethernet and the x10 stuff will just get a fuzzy picture.Robbert said:Ok.. This is an old thread..

I had on on my driveway for a while until it rolled over dead one day. I didn't bother replacing it. I left the camera up for the scare factor

Shawn,
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I used to have one of those 2.4GHz wireless video sender/receivers from Radio Shack, and it gave me nothing but trouble with interference. Even when someone walked in a certain area of the house it would just lose the signal. I'll stick with the X10 powerline stuff... Until they come out with camera's on a different frequency spectrum... Whatever happened to the good ole' 900 MHz???

You can always get the wired X-10 cameras. I have them because of the same interference problems.
