General FAQs

Do I have to have a web site to use the Sinulator?
No. We provide you with a web page that people can use to control your toy. All they will need to do is enter the name of the toy (you created) when you installed your Sinulator. Then all they need to do is go here to find and control your toy!

If you have a web cam and or web site - we invite you learn more about the special features available for performers. If you are just getting started, it is important to note that the Sinulator is 100% compatible with web streaming solutions like IVISTA in which the web-cam and webserver all reside on the same Microsoft windows machine.

Can I limit what the person controlling my toy is doing?
Yes. We have designed the software with a "limit" feature that allows you to set how intense you want the vibrations or rotations to be. For example - let's say you never want to have the toy vibrate higher than level 3. You would set a "limit" on your software like this:

If the person controlling the toy tries to make the toy vibrate at a level greater than 3 - the software will show you what you are experiencing (in blue) and the additional amount the person on the other end wants you to experience (in red). However - the Sinulator will only vibrate/rotate within the limits you set.

What if I don't like what the person controlling my toy is doing?
You can immediately turn off the toy by flipping the power switch on the mobile receiver. This will immediately stop the toy from rotating and/or vibrating.

Will the person controlling my toy know I have set limits or turned it off?
No - not unless you tell them. Even if you turn the toy off, the Performer Software will continue to display the requests being sent by your customer.

Can people see my IP address?
No. Our Relay Service will hide your IP address from the public.

If I don't like it can I get a refund?
Yes. The Sinulator comes with a 30 day "most-of-the-money-back guarantee. If you don't like it you can return the Sinulator and receive refund minus a $25. Toys can not be returned. To qualify you will need to notify us by email of your request and return the complete product in good working condition, its original packaging to: Sinulate Entertainment, Product return c/o xxxpresstoys, 901 West Main, Suite A, Auburn WA, 98001-5280

Web Master FAQs

What is the Sinulate Relay Service? - How does it work?
Our relay service ensures that the correct control signals get sent to the correct wireless toy. Our relay service hides the IP address of the performer and ensures that the correct control signals get sent to the correct toy.

The relay service runs our servers and uses encrypted XML.

How much bandwidth do the Sinulate Signals take up?
Very little. We know that you are routing video and possibly voice on the same line so we've tried to make it as small as possible
