Home automation systems can give you the ability to enhance homeowner's lifestyle, and make a home more loveable and comfortable, safe and efficient. The Home Automation consist in integrate security, lighting, gaming, entertainment peripherals, telecommunications, heating and air conditioning systems into a controlled system that is located in a central point of the house. With the high demand these systems and becoming more affordable and available, the need to understand the basic concepts, technology, and how they are integrated into new home construction is steadily increasing.

 Channel Plus Multi-Room Video Distribution System The Channel Plus Multi-Room Video Distribution System converts audio/video signals from your VCR, DVD player, satellite, cable, or camera to two user-selected channels (UHF or CATV). Just select the channels you want to modulate to using the "program" buttons—now you can tune-in to those channels on any connected TV. The multi-room video distribution system has two outputs for connection to a local TV and video source and three outputs to connect TVs in other rooms. If you are watching a TV in another room, running back to the VCR or DVD player, or satellite receiver can be difficult and inconvenient. The multi-room video distribution system has a built-in IR receiver that gives you the ability to remotely control your video devices (IR accessories needed). Coax cable, RCA audio/video cable, amplifier, and compatible IR target, IR remote control, and IR repeater/emitter sold separately.
The multi-room video distribution system is actually two modulators in one device. It has two video-source inputs with the ability to modulate the signals to two user-selected channels. The multi-room video distribution system also has two outputs for connection to a local video source and TV (for coax runs of less than 35 feet), making it possible to loop-through the audio/video signals. And it has three outputs (for coax runs up to 150 feet) for distant TVs. With additional IR accessories, the multi-room video distribution system's built-in IR receiver gives the ability to remotely control your connected video sources. Its two selector buttons and corresponding LED light make it easy to set up.

 Automatic Indoor Pan/Tilt System A critical part of protecting a home or business with a surveillance camera system is choosing the type of coverage you want. Do you prefer wide-angle cameras that can capture the entire room, but show little detail? Or would you rather have a camera that sees the details, but with a very narrow field of vision? Well now you can get the best of both worlds with our Motorized Pan/Tilt Camera Mount System!
Because the Motorized Pan/Tilt Camera Mount System works with any black & white or color video camera, you'll be able to use a detail-oriented camera and still be able to aim it anywhere in the room or surveillance area. If you plan on using the cameras in areas where there may be criminal activity — especially if it's going to be used as evidence for a conviction — capturing fine details is a must. Furthermore, since the panning and tilting function is visible, the system acts as a visual deterrent against theft, vandalism and other wrongdoing.

2.4GHz Wireless Video Transmission System Send stereo audio/video signals to TVs, PCs, stereos or video game systems up to 300 feet away — without running wires! This system, which installs in minutes, can be used to transmit images from such sources as cable TV, DVD players, VCRs, camcorders, video game systems and more! Use it for multi-room access to pay-per-view movies, premium cable channels or satellite receivers. You can also use it for a number of security applications, including quick and easy surveillance monitoring of babies, pool areas or elderly family members using CCD video cameras or your existing camcorder!
The transmitter accepts baseband audio/video signals (RCA jacks), which are then transmitted to the receiver. The receiver accepts the baseband audio/signals and outputs them to the monitoring device (TV, PC or stereo) using RCA jacks. This system uses the 2.4GHz band, avoiding the crowded 900MHz band that most cordless phones and other wireless devices commonly use, ensuring superior signal quality and greater range.

 X10 Control Of Your Irrigation System! Integrate sprinkler or watering system control into your X10 home automation system with the Rain8, a full-featured, 8-zone irrigation controller that accepts and reacts to standard X10 commands. This opens up the world of sprinkler and irrigation system control to anyone with X10 timers, remote controls, even over-the-Internet control using PC-based automation software.

 Temperature Sensing IC Chip Build your own temperature sensor with this IC chip. Simply solder leads to chip, apply 5-24V and output will be a linearly scaled 0-5VDC, 10mV/°F. The Temperature Sensing IC Chip can be directly connected to TimeCommander Plus without extra circuitry. Calibrated directly in degrees Fahrenheit.
