INTRODUCTION TO YOUR
AT&T REMOTE MONITOR STARTER KIT ///
Thank you for your purchase of the AT&T Remote Monitor Starter Kit. The XG1000 Controller
(the terms “Controller” and “Gateway” should be viewed as synonomous), a small dedicated
computer, allows you to access and control cameras and other devices in your home, and make
this information available to you wherever you are. You can access the XG1000 from any
PC (must be running Windows XP or 2000) with an internet connection anywhere in the world.
You can even use the XG1000 from your cell phone. You only need to use a PC to set up your XG1000.
From then on, no PC is required for the XG1000 to function.
The system uses IP cameras. These are devices that communicate through normal internet cabling.
If you do not wish to run new Ethernet wiring in your home, you can use Power Line Communication
modules (PLC’s) to use the existing power outlets in your home, instead. Two of these modules are
included in the starter kit.
In addition to the cameras, you can also use sensor modules in your home to monitor temperature,
detect a door or window opening, wet conditions and motion. These are battery powered devices
that communicate wirelessly with the controller. You can even turn lights and appliances on and off,
by purchasing optional power controllers.
WITH YOUR AT&T REMOTE MONITOR ACCOUNT YOU CAN:
■
View Live Video
■
Check Device Status
■
Arm and Disarm Devices
■
Set Up Rules to Perform Actions Based on
Events or Time of Day
■
Record Snapshots and Video Clips
■
Review Archived Events
If you have a JAVA enabled wireless phone from AT&T, you can
access most of the controller functions remotely through the phone.
You need to download an application to your wireless phone from
AT&T to do this. Other cell phones can receive text notifications,
but cannot view live video or control devices.
