Recommended Products:
The XCam2 Wireless Camera System (3 camera pack) - ideal for the driveway and home CCTV security. A wireless colour camera
with built-in microphone.
Small and descrete, it only needs a power supply, and rest is done via it's RF transmitter. This beams the video & audio to
a small receiver box which is plugged into your TV and video. So you can monitor your home from the comfort of your favourite
armchair. Up to 4 cameras can be installed per receiver. Can also be used as a home video camera and webcam, a baby monitor
or door camera, or for paranoid car lovers who want 3 cameras pointing at their driveway all day and night.
XCam2 VCR Commander / Motion Detector Camera - can be an add-on to the above system. When the PIR motion detection camera
is activated, it sends a signal to a VCR Commander box which tells your video to start recording for a set period of time.
Ideal for seeing who's called
by your house when you've been out. Good for business security, allowing you to keep an eye on restricted areas, such as a
private garage or entrance.
PIR Motion Detector & Transceier Appliance Control. An exterior PIR sensor can be mounted to a wall, and when triggered by
movement it sends a signal to a reciever indoors, which turns on a light. A more realistic security deterent than the standard
outdoor floodlighting, these devices will make it look like someone turns on an indoor light as the house is approached. Alternatively,
it could turn on a TV, a buzzer, a kettle - anything that plugs into the mains! Cheap and effective security lighting and
home control, with no fixed installation required.
Bayonet Lamp Module - a simple device that plugs into a light socket, such as a wall light. The bulb is then plugged into
the device, and it can be turned on/off by a remote control, or by a motion detection sensor. This means you could make the
lights in your living room turn on automatically as you enter it. A sure buy for James Bond's interior designer!
Summary - a nice site, informative and easy to navigate; an excellent range of products for all your home automation and security
needs, and at good prices; a flawless service from some enthusiastic people who probably deserve a job in Q-Branch.
