Thanks for the test everyone.

I did forget to say the mic's are very sensitive ! The x10 cams also make
it
very easy to switch camera's. If you assign a separate housecode to the
camera's then when ever you send out a camera "on" code the other
camera's
automatically turn off when they see the "on" code which isn't
there's. I
would like to try one of the x10 pan and tilt devices but they are
expensive
over here, on ebay they seem to be going for around $30-$40.

The dog's aren't mine but belong to someone on the next street !

The car's not mine it's the wife's! I don't drive a Tigra, the scuby is
out
of camera shot !
