Free Y-cam viewer app for iPhone & Android

Posted on Friday, July 2nd, 2010

In our continued effort to provide easy to use and accessible IP camera solutions, we have developed free applications for the iPhone and Android for viewing Y-cam cameras, available to all from the Apple App Store and the Android Marketplace.

Y-cam MultiLive gives you a quick and easy way to view your Y-cam camera video stream(s) directly from your phone, on the move, from wherever you are.

Y-cam MultiLive for iPhone and Android supports all current Y-cam models*, and allows for up to 8 camera feeds to be saved to the phone for instant viewing. Camera feeds can be connected to via local (i.e. home network) or external networks (i.e. the internet), and allows for viewing over 3G and WiFi.

FEATURES
- Quickly and easily view your Y-cam camera
- Stores your cameras IP address, username and password for instant access
- Supports up to 8 cameras
- Add, edit or delete cameras with ease
- Name each camera for easy reference
- Thumbnail View – gives instant screenshot view of all cameras in your list, including cameras current network status
- Take snapshots of your camera feed and automatically save them to your photo gallery
- Works with all Y-cam models

Cameras supported : Y-cam Black, Y-cam Black SD, Y-cam Knight, Y-cam Knight SD, Y-cam White, Y-cam White SD, Y-cam Bullet, and Y-cam Dome.

We will be developing these apps further through integration of API commands and user feedback – if you have any comments, ideas or suggestions please leave them below.

To download :

For iPhone – visit iTunes
For Android – visit the Google Marketplace and search for Y-cam MultiLive

* MultiLive for iPhone and Android does not support 1st Generation Y-cams with firmware v1.98 or lower as these cameras do not support MJPEG.

i switched form the eyespyfx to the native multilive app and everthing works!
Nice, simple clean interface and basic functionality.

I do hope though that ycam will add some functionality in the near future with updates on multilive.

i suggest:

- Ability to rotate the camera
- Ability to pinch and zoom
- Firmwareupdates on the cameresoftware to support sound on Apple devices

and maybe some basic settings to control te camera.

Anyway….good and stable job!
Thank you for the continious support and improvements to your product

Please support sound on the iPhone.
Thanks, Herb

Yet another reason not to use a blackberry. Why pay licences to use exchange e-mail on it? it's insane. IT person.

I am using X10 mini pro, and can't find this app over Market.
Is it supported?

Thanks

Hi Hopec
The Android app is designed for phones with a HVGA resolution (480×360 pixels) and above. The X10 Mini Pro uses a QVGA resolution (240×320 pixels). We are currently working on making the app usable with QVGA phones.
Android Market hides apps that are not suitable for your phone, so this is probably why you cannot find it.
Hope Chao

Thanks….:) wish the new version will be available soon.

Can I use the iPhone app as a baby monitor? Does it support audio?

Thanks
http://www.y-cam.com Y-cam Solutions Ltd

Many people use a Y-cam as a baby monitor due to its excellent nightvision capabilities and motion detection.

Our free application does not currently support audio, however our developers are working on this as a priority, and we hope to have an update soon.

In the mean time, a product called Baby Monitor HD supports a wide range of Y-cam functionality, including audio streaming and audio alerts, plus the ability to remotely turn on/off nightvision and much more.

For more information on this app – visit their website – http://www.sunshineapps.com/BabyMonitor/

I hope this helps

I installed it on my LG GT540 with android, the light beside the name is green, so i believe I’m connected but I can’t see a thing, jus a black screen. Can anyone help?
Quantitum

I’m connected but can’t see. Is myname.no-ip.biz/mobile a correct address IP/DNS:Port?
http://www.y-cam.com Y-cam Solutions Ltd

Hi Quantitum

It doesn’t sound like you are connected properly. Forget the /mobile extension, that is not needed here.

You IP/DNS:PORT should be something like :

213.218.26.109:80 (a real camera)
ycamdenmark1.no-ip.net:8155 (a real camera)
myname.no-ip.biz:8150 (fake)

Hope that helps
Mark

I have exactly the same on android 2.1 HTC Desire… sent support email but no reply

Hi Mark

Quantitum was not entering the camera details correctly by the looks of it – do you want to email me direct and I will do my best to help – james at y-cam dot com

Our support system has suffered a technical hitch these past 10 days, so I am hoping it was an honest mistake they overlooked your email, and I hope it will be answered soon anyway.

This feature is only for viewing, it would be much convenient to change settings, zoom, and record (save stream).

Hi Norrie

Most Blackberrys will display the native stream without an app – go to your cameras address and add /mobile on the end, then select 3GPP stream – it should load in your media player. Let me know if you have problems or what model you have.
http://www.y-cam.com Y-cam Solutions Ltd

What we have found with some stream Android devices is that the quality of the video is set too high in the camera stream – try lowering the quality and see if that makes any difference to the stream working on the phone or not.

If you are still having problems, please contact social [at] y-cam.com and we will do our best to help.

Hi Neville

Thanks for the feedback, we’re going to be releasing a new update to the app soon, and I will pass on your feedback to our development team.
