Y-cam cameras are a special type of webcam - more commonly known as IP cameras. They connect to the internet and allow you to view, and hear, whatever your camera can from anywhere in the World. They are more hi-tech than a standard webcam - able to operate without the need for a PC to be on, and giving a better picture, greater control and advanced options such as motion detection. Commonly used for home and small business security, the Y-cam is a versatile piece of kit, and offers the following features: Easy installation Y-cam's simple install process means basic installation is easy. Due to the unique way the Y-cam has been designed, you no longer have to be "tech-savvy" to install and use security cameras. The user-friendly installation procedure and intuitive web-based interface allows you to easily connect to your camera whenever and from wherever you wish. Affordable Y-cam has taken advances in computer technologies and applied them to security cameras, enabling access to powerful new features via the internet, mobile phone and email, and at an affordable price. High quality Y-cam cameras are fitted with high quality lenses and image processing technology. They produce excellent video, allowing recognition and identification of subjects that have been used successfully by British Police in identifying, charging and prosecuting intruders. Y-cam also uses MPEG-4 compression technology and matched resolutions to minimise bandwidth usage and cost, as well as maximising performance. View from anywhere Y-cam's internet and computer technology allows you to view your cameras from anywhere in the world via the internet. Either on PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Blackberry or other internet-enabled mobile phone or browsing device. Detect motion Y-cam can detect motion, and trigger alarms (such as an email or upload) when motion occurs. 4 different 'zones' can be set on the image, and sensivity adjusted independantly. Unlike conventional activity detection, the Y-cam uses vector information to detect motion, therefore achieving better reliability against false alarms. Receive alerts when activity detected The Y-cam can send you an email when motion is detected, and include a snapshot of the event. The alert function can also upload images to websites, save to a NAS or NVR drive, or activate recording of the event on a microSD memory card. See in the dark with Nightvision See up to 15 metres in pitch black darkness. The Y-cam Black, Knight or Bullet models utilise infrared LEDs to provide high levels of "invisible" light in dark environments. The intelligent photosensitive components can automatically turn on the LEDs in low light conditions or the user can select "moonlight view" which superimposes frames together to increase brightness (frame integration). The Bullet even includes an IR filter, which gives true day/night image quality. Wireless via WiFi The Y-cam can connect directly to a network or the Internet, either over Wireless (802.11b/g) networking, or over 10/100 ethernet. The Y-cam utilises encryption methods such as WEP, and even the more powerful WPA and WPA2, so you can be sure your camera will only be accessed by authorised users. All-in-one solution that stores footage as well The Y-cam SD range and Bullet allow you to plug in a microSD memory card, up to 8GB, to record footage on to manually, or by triggered events. Just like the live view, you can view this footage from anywhere, or download it to anywhere. 8GB allows you to record over 20 hours of footage at the highest quality settings, or 2,500 hours at lower quality settings (similar to most analogue CCTV systems). Schedule automatic backup of recorded footage The Y-cam SD models and Bullet can automatically backup stored footage to a local or remote computer for backup, redundancy and additional security should the camera itself be a victim. Control who has access to your Y-cam Secure password access to the Y-cam ensures no-one else can access the cameras without your authorisation. The WiFi connection is protected with WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption for security. Use with your Apple Mac Compatible with Windows PCs, Macs, Linux, and professional security storage and monitoring products, the Y-cam SD models support motion detection setup via Flash, and MPEG4 video via Quicktime, supporting Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari browsers. View with your iPhone, Blackberry, or other Internet enabled Mobile Phones Carry access to your Y-cams around with you, and access them using your browser on your mobile phone, or grab a dedicated app for your phone for easy, instant access. Blend in to your surroundings Y-cam's sleek and unobtrusive design allows it to blend in to the home or office, rather than stand out like a traditional security camera. With some models available in both White and Black, it also means that you can get a camera to suit your surroundings. Use them inside or outside Our Y-cam indoor cameras can also be placed outside, using the Y-cam Shell accessory. This is an IP66 rated enclosure providing protection against the elements. Our Y-cam Bullet is a dedicated outdoor weatherproof camera, ideal for outdoor installs. Re-use it, move it, use it again The Y-cam cameras are easy to move and re-install. So as your needs change, you can change what the camera does for you. As your baby grows up, use it to keep an eye on the kids in the garden, broadcast family festivities to distant relatives. The Y-cam can be wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or placed on a flat surface using the supplied camera stand.
