Y-cam EyeBall “makes light work” – PC Pro Recommended
Posted on Friday, August 12th, 2011
You know you’ve done well when the lovely people at PC Pro stamp your product with their ‘Recommended’ seal of approval. Therefore you can guess the excitement we felt at Y-cam HQ when we saw our EyeBall camera’s latest review – sealed, stamped and fully approved.
Dave Mitchell, PC Pro reviewer, seemed happy with our latest addition; and was impressed with the EyeBall’s ‘assemble now, fix view later’ style installation, making it the essential choice against other dome cameras.
“A problem we often find with dome IP cameras is the need to set up the viewing position before final assembly in the ceiling. Y-cam’s EyeBall does away with this: its unique “push and point” feature allows you to install the camera first and fiddle with the view later.”
However that wasn’t all they noticed about our compact, feature packed camera: “The EyeBall packs in plenty more. You get an 802.11bg wireless access point with WEP and WPA2 security, an internal mic, plus speaker outlet for two- way audio. Four user-definable windows are provided for motion detection and you can send images to an FTP server and multiple email addresses. Other recording options include direct to an internal microSD card, or to a NAS appliance share. For the microSD card, you can browse and view its contents from the web UI.”
And if we could have asked for more, Dave sums up the unit by saying, “The Y-cam has plenty going for it. Push and Point makes light work of installation… Add in the feature set and the package looks rather good value.”
