INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased X10’s premier video
surveillance solution. The Sentinel Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera
has superior image quality, a high powered zoom, and pan
and tilt motion. You can operate the camera through walls
using the supplied remote control.
It comes with a weather resistant dome for outdoor
mounting under an eve, on your patio, or deck, for
example.
The camera uses X10’s 2.4 Gigahertz wireless technology
to transmit live video through walls to a television up to
100 feet away. If you prefer a secure video connection, you
can use a video cable to connect the camera directly to
your TV.
The camera is also designed so that you can combine
multiple cameras to provide comprehensive coverage of
your home or business. Use the remote control to switch
between cameras so that you don’t miss anything that goes
on.
This owner’s manual will take you through setting up and
using the camera. A new world of sophisticated video
surveillance is waiting for you!
