Y-cam is not just another manufacturer of Internet cameras…
Here at Y-cam we go beyond just simply selling a range of products to our customers. We were founded on a core vision, to provide all residential and small business customers with a simple way to stay in control of what happens at their property and with their loved ones. This vision still affects everything we do today.
Founders Story
In 2004 I was abroad on holiday with my family when I received a notification that my burglar alarm had been triggered. I had no idea what was going on, and the automatic text message alert that I received from my alarm gave little clue.
Not being able to contact my family or neighbours nearby to my property, I was left with no other choice but to phone the Police. Being so far away with no way of knowing what was happening was unbearable, and as the minutes rolled by I couldn’t help but worry about what was happening. Was my house, and my possessions, safe?
After about 45 minutes, the Police rang me – it was a false alarm. The relief was instant, but the time I had spent helplessly worrying about my house from over 1000 miles away stayed with me. I realised it was no good just being told there was a problem – I needed to see the problem (or at least see there wasn’t a problem!). On my return I looked into what remote camera solutions were available in the market, but everything seemed far too technical or was ridiculously expensive. With the developments in mobile technology and the increase of internet speeds I thought that there must be an easier way…
After 2 years of research and development, my business partner and I created the Y-cam internet camera – designed from the start with non-technical users in mind, and in 2007 we were able to officially launch the Y-cam to the public.
