Thanx again Gentlemen. Now for another question [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
It's funny you mentioned X10 Drax, since my whole place is running off it. I have a few of those cheapo XCams (2.4Ghz wireless) besides my standard wired B&W composites. They don't work very well through 18" thick brick walls I've noted. I have two of said walls between my receiver and one of the cameras, plus it's on the first floor (receiver is on second floor). It's actually only about 60 feet straight line away.
Any way to amplify the signal or tweak the antenna on the 2.4 to get better penetration through the walls? I took one of the antennas apart and found two thin copper plates separated by a piece of plastic, but I'm not familiar enough with 2.4 to figure out how to increase the gain.
Thanx, Rick
