Anyone actually strumbled X10??
Okay, to stumble X10 Video (shitty video... oh well)
you would need at minimum the following:
1 - X10 Receiver - A/V Mono# VR31A [$49.99]
Video Only# VR36A(Tiny) [$39.99]
1 - Video Display Monitor with RCA Inputs. (Tv) [$??]
1 - RCA A/V Cable ($5.00)
To do this on a laptop, you need:
1 - X10 Reciever (See above models)
1 - Video2USB Adaptor - #VA11A
1 - Laptop with USB (See X10.com for min Specs)
1 - Display Software (Multiview, Xray, Other??)
The only problem I see is that the VIDEO/USB cable doesnt allow you to scan the 4 channels on the camera's... the software doesnt provide any way either... So i think you would have to manually switch it on the reciever unit. Or remove the switch and wire it to a serial/parallel/usb controller to autoswitch it.
Personally I would want to tear the reciever apart, add an external Ant jack, maybe wire the PC Cable in permanent, keep the connections down to a minimum... maybe see if the USB unti has extra unused conenctions to wire the Channel switch to it...
Anyone help me out here? Am I wrong?
