I have the X10 camera setup... and boy is it quirky... a toy indeed..
very bad recption.. low light setting... you need studio lighting to
see anything...
and controlling them via the computer is very poor.. they claim over
100 feet range on the wireless cameras... I can't get 30 feet between
floors in my house...
