Thank you for purchasing the X10 USB
Digital Video Converter. The X10 software
you purchased, in conjunction with the video
converter, allows you to operate X10
cameras and display video using your PC.

Important: Please download and install
the X10 software before you plug in the
video converter.

The software you purchased should be
downloaded from the link you received in
our email titled “New Software Download
Link.” This manual assumes your camera is
working and your video receiver is near your
computer.

1. Download X10 Software. Click on the
software link in the email you received
titled “New Software Download
Link.” Before you download the
software, choose the option to save
the file, and save it onto your desktop
so you can more easily access it later.

2. Disable or turn off your anti-virus
software before you install the
software as some anti-virus programs
interfere with the installation.
Remember to turn on your anti-virus
program when you finish these steps.

3. Install Software. Go to your desktop
and double click the installation
program you just downloaded. The
software installation process will
install the driver for your VA11A/
VA12A.
