Easy to install, simple to operate, the high-performance Y-cam Black SD POE camera operates independently, without the need to be connected to a computer, in full colour and infrared nightvision.
View and hear, in real time, from anywhere in the World, via any internet-enabled computer or phone.
If any motion is detected, the camera can instantly email you a snapshot, or record the video to a microSD card.
Y-cam Black SD POE is the ideal all-in-one surveillance & recording solution for home or business security, and can even operate outdoors using a Y-cam Shell.

*Infrared Night Vision
The Y-cam Black SD POE utilises 30 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.
Record direct to microSD
Using the built-in microSD card slot, the Y-cam Black SD POE no longer needs to be connected to a network or the internet to store video or motion alerts. Use the camera anywhere, even remote locations, & store video straight to microSD card, which is then viewable in your mobile phone, or over the network connection at a later time.
Power Over Ethernet
The Y-cam Black SD POE is equipped with Power over Ethernet support and can receive both power and data over a single Ethernet network cable. This allows the camera to be placed in areas that aren’t close to a power outlet and provides quicker, smarter and cost-effective installations.
Mobile Viewing
With support for MJPEG and 3GPP the camera provides a live view for multiple platforms, including mobile devices such as the iPhone and Blackberry. The Y-cam’s live stream can be viewed using any mobile phone that can play VLC-compatible streams, such as Quicktime and RealPlayer.
Email and FTP alerts
The Y-cam comes with useful alarm tools that will keep you notified if any motion is detected. It has built-in functions that can automatically send an email to you, or upload video or images straight to a FTP server, meaning that your data will be safely stored offsite.
PC and Mac Compatible
The Y-cam is fully compatible with both PC and Apple Macintosh computers across multiple web browsers. Mac users can now view live video with audio (using QuickTime), control the motion detection settings within a browser (using Adobe Flash), take snapshots from the live feed, and also record footage locally (using QuickTime Pro).
Motion Detection
If the Y-cam detects movement in its field of vision, it can automatically send an e-mail alert notifying the owner that motion has been detected, with an attached image of the scene. Unlike conventional activity detection, the Y-cam uses vector information to detect motion, therefore achieving better reliability against false alarms.
Secure Connection
Make sure your camera is secure using the Y-cams secure password authentication. Connect your camera to the internet or only on your local network, and access the camera can be restricted to just those with the authenticated password, allowing you to be sure your cameras are only accessed by authorised users.
Please note : The Y-cam Black SD POE does not have wireless WiFi capability. Using the PoE capability of the camera requires the use of either a PoE enabled switch/router/hub, or a separate PoE injector to supply power to an Ethernet cable.
*Please note: The camera’s lens is designed for night vision purposes and as a result the colour of the video image will be slightly different than that of ordinary day-view camera. This variation in the colour is normal and is not a defect of the camera.

* The breadth of IR range can vary dependent on the environment in which it is placed.
When used outdoors in conjunction with the Y-cam Shell, greater dispersion and lower levels of reflected IR light from nearby surfaces, will result in a reduced range compared with typical indoor operation.
If you require coverage of a wider and longer field of view outdoors, or indoors, Y-cam recommends the use of separate IR illuminators or floods to light the required scene. Y-cam cameras are compatible with all IR illuminators as the Y-cam cameras can ‘see’ the full spectrum of IR light frequencies.
