SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2002

After seeing it with their own eyes on the nation's top rated network morning news program, millions of consumers have no excuse not to include X10's wireless surveillance camera in their home security arsenal.

The XCam2 with Ninja robotic mount featured on the NBC Today Show makes it easier than ever to monitor a child's room or other important area of the home via a television in the living room, den or bedroom.

The beauty of X10's wireless camera is derived from its versatility either as a standalone solution or in combination with other compatible X10 products, such as a motion sensor and remote chime to alert parents of unwanted activity.

For less than 80 dollars, the XCam2 offers the uninitiated a power-packed beginner's surveillance system. All it takes to expand your view is the Ninja robotic mount, which receives pan and tilt commands from a handheld remote control.

For those of us who prefer PC-based systems, X10 has created a user-friendly software program for the Ninja mount to receive pan and tilt commands and for the camera to capture images on a hard drive. The PanTilt Pro software even provides free remote access from any PC connected to the Internet. (Ninja Pan 'n Tilt Wireless Camera Kit)

"The XCam2 provides an important and necessary component to create a complete home surveillance system," said Alex Peder, President, X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. "What's so exciting about the Today Show appearance is the opportunity for X10 to expose millions of consumers to the concept of how easy and affordable it is to immediately improve the ability of parents to protect their children."
