Not such a bargain. Not horrible, not good either.

by bouncer67 , Feb 28 '03
Pros: Great concept, neat gadget. Portability option. FAST shipping. 24-7 customer service.
Cons: Blurry optics. Lots of wires for a wireless system. Needs gobs of light.
I, like many others, was swayed by X10's bold advertising campaign. I am a gadget fanatic (see my other reviews). What could be better than a wireless camera that I could use for my computer AND my TV.
The advertised price seemed too good...

XCam - reasonable price, reasonable picture

by caradoc Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 19 '00
Pros: Cheap, easy to use
Cons: Included camera module is hard to focus, poor image quality, plastic optics.
We've all seen this thing advertised via banner ads *everywhere*. One can only wonder how the guys are making any money on this, since the camera itself probably costs around $40-$50 to manufacture, including the transmitter/receiver pair. Paying for the...

You get what you pay for. Fun toy many possible creative uses.

by jvolzer , May 09 '01
Pros: cheap, fun, wireless
Cons: poor quality, no live support, cameras need a lot of light, backlight problems possible
If you keep in mind that you get what you pay for then you won't be terribly disappointed. I've had fun with these and have several places I might put them to use. Don't be in a hurry to get in on their latest deal though because there will be a new...

Save up for a camcorder instead..

by pepper99 , May 08 '01
Pros: Tiny, optional battery pack along with wireless nature opens up possibilities.
Cons: Expensive for what you get, low light picture quality nonexistant.
Unless the small size of the XCam is a big plus, this probably isn't the camera for you.. Although the prices (Via www.x10.com) have come down dramatically since this item first started being reviewed here at Epinions, the Xcam system is still just what ...

Excellent value for unique capabilities.

by billshepp , Jul 30 '01
Pros: Versatile. Good internet options. Excellent value.
Cons: Fair image quality. Weak documentation.
The X10 pop-under ads are everywhere, giving many people a negative opinion of X10's products. Nevertheless, I find this product absolutely performs as promised.

In order to monitor our newly adopted puppy while at work, I purchased the...

CHEAP PLASTIC JUNK!

by abmarsh , Jul 30 '01
Pros: Small and lightweight, a good idea
Cons: Junk. x10.com will spam you for life if you order from them.
This little camera can go anywhere, mine went back to x10.com. Picture quality is grainy, light sensitivity is poor, sound is bad and the price, for what you get is very high.

Plastic lens distorts and makes rainbows. Bad news as a security...

Make The Bad Camera Go Away

by gigmonger , Dec 04 '01
Pros: Nothing Really
Cons: There are no redeeming qualities about this most pathetic product
The cameras shipped very quickly. I would ship them quickly too just to get them out of my site.

Packaged quality: Fine

Literature: poor...amateur ...information was fragmented.

System Issues: Drivers would not load...

THIS CAMERA SUCKS!

by jake978 , Oct 09 '00
Pros: They sent them quickly
Cons: bad camera quality, software is limited, autoscan not working, cameras brightness is varing
These XCAM2 camera's do not work during and after dusk. During the day my cameras 1st looked OK, now the brightness is varying throughout the day. I have to re-adjust the control just to see a decent picture. Also bought the night vision, this camera...

Great For Girl's Dorm Showers

by phungus Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 05 '01
Pros: Cheap, easy to setup and HIDE
Cons: Small, seems kind of flimsy
You would think this camera was designed for spying and setting up in the bedroom, bathroom, or shower or any unsuspecting woman. I've seen a bunch of their ads on sites like ZDNet and EVERY ad features some pretty big-busted woman smiling at the...

Great, if you remember how much you paid

by sking02 , May 11 '01
Pros: Inexpensive, easy setup, quick delivery, all setup materials included
Cons: X10's web site
I received my XCam2 wireless camera a few days ago. I've wanted one of these cameras for a while but haven't purchased one because of some negative reviews. I ended up purchasing an XCam2 during a special sale and got mine for $59, including a free...

XCam - Great Idea, but......

by Krosnoff , Nov 24 '99
Pros: Slick Wireless Connection
Cons: Very bad in low-medium lighting
I'll admit it, I'm into webcams and all of the related technology. One of the simplest yet biggest problems with webcams is the cable length limitation. Most webcams end up being stuck within 16' of the computer. Great for a desk but not so good for...

Not all that impressive

by sloney , May 12 '00
Pros: Ok picture quality, very versatile, unique
Cons: Signal can be interfered with easily, rather fragile
The XCam has been advertised quite extensively and I suppose that has given X-10 some success. However, it is not quite all it is cracked up to be. Although the price is very good for it's small size and versatility the XCam has some problems.

Nobody home at x10

by Dryfus , May 10 '00
Pros: wireless
Cons: poor picture, no tech support
I placed my order with x10 last Friday and got their
autoresponder's reply promising my order would
"ship shortly". And that they would send me a ups
tracking number. Fair enough. Only now it is
Wednesday of the following...
