Use & Applications

The Floodcam combines a wireless color camera and a pair of floodlights in weatherproof housing. The 2.4-GHz, 3-lux (light level) camera turns on when motion is detected (as do its floodlights when it's dark), sends a signal to a warning chime (optional), and transmits video to your TV. You can save video to a VCR or see it on your PC. The FloodCam replaces existing floodlights.

If you don't already have a Video Receiver or optional VCR Commander then we recommend getting the complete FloodCam Kit (see IH8082). With this combination package, you'll get the NEW FloodCam and a Video Receiver. The Video Receiver plugs right into any TV/VCR using standard RCA cables and receives the video signals transmitted from your camera.

The FloodCam is activated by the integrated motion sensor so that when someone approaches your home, the floodlights (bulbs not included) come on, turning night into day and the camera catches the startled intruder on video! The camera transmits its picture via a built-in 2.4 GHz transmitter, to a Video Receiver (not included) which you connect to a TV anywhere in your home. The FloodCam sends the wireless signals even through walls, up to 100 feet so you can watch and record all the action!

The SECRET behind the FloodCam is the "smart" Built-In Wireless Motion Sensor. The video camera always turns on when motion is detected and the floodlights always turn on when it is dark and motion is detected. (An X10 Transceiver is NOT necessary for this, but is required for multi-camera applications.)
In a multi-camera setup, the motion sensor sends wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals to an X10 Transceiver (e.g.TM13) (or VCR Commander.) The Transceiver receives the signals from the Motion Sensor and passes them onto your house wiring. These signals send the information back out to turn off the other cameras or to sound a chime, illuminate hallway lights, etc.

This is a very simple system to install - just a few connections and you're up and running assuming you will use the FloodCam to replace an existing floodlight fixture. If not, you will need to install a wall box and run conduit to it. If you need help installing a wall box and running conduit please contact a local professional installer!

YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING:

Click to see enlarged image		 Underneath the FloodCam unit is a hidden control panel (shown: left) that allows you to easily configure all the settings! Set the Channel to the same channel on your Video Receiver. The FLOODLIGHT CONTROL function allows you to detect motion at all times (LIGHT) or only when it gets dark (DARK). Using the TIME DELAY dial you can adjust how long the camera waits to turn off after motion has stopped. The CAMERA MODE switch lets you set how the camera responds to motion and X10 controllers. Using the 2 dials at the bottom, set the camera's unit code and house code (example A-4). Keep your cameras in groups of 4 for better scanning control.

The Double external PIR can turn on up to 8 different devices inside/outside your home so you'll not only scare off intruders with light, but notify people inside your home that something is lurking in your yard.
In addition to turning on dual floodlights when the detector picks up motion, the double external PIR can turn on up to four X10 modules in or around your home based on motion. It also includes a light sensor, which can turn up to four additional X10 modules at dusk and off again at dawn.

Security and convenience applications for this product are endless. Activate indoor/outdoor lighting, or activate your barking dog when someone approaches. The double external PIR is completely weatherproof and can be used with incandescent or halogen bulbs up to 150W. The floodlights can also be turned on manually from an X10 transmitter. When it is turned on manually, the floodlights stay on and the motion detection is temporarily disabled until the floodlights are turned off again from an X10 transmitter
