How Y-cam helps businesses cut the costs of security
Posted on Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Securing offices full of expensive equipment, plus dealing with the constant hassle of staff and visitor traffic is difficult at the best of times but when you throw in budgets and staff cuts, the task becomes near impossible. How can you maintain security and take the necessary precautions without breaking the bank?

If you find yourself in this situation at your office, what you need is a solution that is simple to install and easy to use, with an affordable price tag, without losing out on features and functionality. Time is valuable and a full time security team is extremely costly, however, the ability to access your office remotely 24/7 is within your reach – using Y-cam IP cameras.
Y-cam provides a flexible security network that can cover all areas of your building, or buildings, discreetly and effectively, and can be monitored through your existing computers, or even your smartphone. Our built in motion detection alerts will instantly notify you if anything is awry, and remote viewing allows you to check in on your premises and the alert at any time; perfect to distinguish between false alarms and the real thing, initiating faster response to potential incidents.

Updating an existing security network can seem a daunting and costly task but Y-cam cameras simply install straight into your existing IT infrastructure, reducing the costs attached to installation. Our cameras are simple to install and are designed to be easily implemented by your own IT technicians, or an outsourced IT company, and come with all the equipment to provide ultimate connectivity with your existing technologies.
Our free camera viewing software, MultiLive, allows you to view all your cameras in one place and offers a simple way to record straight to your existing storage systems via your office network, omitting the need for any dedicated recording hardware.
What’s more, a Y-cam can easily be moved around to suit your needs – so once a problem area has seen incidents reduce, the camera can easily be moved to cover other problem hot spots.
Installing a Y-cam security system will protect your business, reducing the risk of damage and stolen equipment while keeping your security overheads low without compromising your business or staff. With the ability to monitor your office 24/7 from anywhere in the world, managers are provided with the tools to improve efficiency and productivity at an affordable cost which can grow with your company with ease and simplicity.
