X10 Sentinel vs. Panasonic KX-HCM280A
Have you been thinking about purchasing a Panasonic KX-HCM280A Pan/Tilt/Zoom for your home or business? Before you do, take a look at the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera - we think you'll find a far better product, and we know you'll find a far more attractive price!
At X10 Wireless Technology, Inc., we believe you deserve the very best in modern technology at the lowest possible cost. We're pleased to say that with the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera, we've developed the best camera on the market for your money, and to prove it, we've even done the homework for you!
We understand your need for dependable security at reasonable prices. We've done the research to find out exactly what's important to you, the customer, and now we're ready to offer the camera you want with the features you need, all without breaking the bank. With this in mind, we created the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera to compete with cameras like the Panasonic KX-HCM280A, and surpass them!
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the specs!
As hard as it is to believe, these features don't come standard with every security camera. With the Panasonic KX-HCM280A, all of the features automatically included with the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera will cost you extra money - if they're even offered at all!
No hidden costs
At X10 we don't believe in charging extra for features that should come standard. We include wall and ceiling mounts so you can easily mount your camera wherever you wish, and the Sentinel even comes ready for outdoor use with its weather-resistant dome- an extra $465 with the Panasonic KX-HCM280A! With our special Starlight Mode, you get a clear full color picture even in the middle of the night, and you can always see exactly what you need to see with our 22x optical zoom. Why leave anything to chance? Security is important to you, and it's just as important to us - the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera provides the very best features so you can feel as secure as possible!
Everything is included
The Sentinel has full wireless capabilities allowing you to operate your camera from up to 100 feet away without needing to hide the cable, but if you prefer a wired connection, it also comes complete with connection cables that hook right into your TV. The Panasonic KX-HCM280A requires additional cables - not included - just to make the camera functional! We wouldn't dream of excluding any of these great features - why spend an extra $415 for a remote control for the Panasonic KX-HCM280A, when the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera comes with a remote at absolutely no additional cost?
The Sentinel allows you to monitor and control up to 8 cameras via PC; to get this same capability with the Panasonic, you'd have to pay an extra $480. And if you want web control capabilities, that's an additional $100. For less than the cost of a web controlled Panasonic KX-HCM280A, you can get the Sentinel Ultimate Package, which gets you all the great included features of the X10 Sentinel PTZ Camera, as well as the capability to record video only when motion is detected, saving hours of tape and only capturing the footage you need to see.
You save hundreds of $$$
With our Ultimate Package, you can monitor your home or business from any internet-connected computer with our web control software, an option that the VCC-9000 simply doesn't offer at all. Not only that, but you can link up your Sentinel to your other X10 home automation software! You'll never have to worry about the safety of your home or business again. All you have to do is get online and check! With the Ultimate Package, you can set your system to turn on lights at a certain hour, even when you're not at home to do it yourself. At X10, we offer the features you need so you never have to worry about the security of your home or business.
30-day money back guarantee
There's never any risk with X10's 30-day money back guarantee.
