Wireless connectivity

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, via network cable or WiFi, using 

powerful encryption methods such as WEP, WPA and WPA2, 

allowing you to be sure your cameras are only accessed by 

authorised users.

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.

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.

The Y-cam Black S 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.

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 the video or 

images straight to a FTP server, meaning that your data will be 

safely stored offsite.

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).

Freedom to place the camera where required. With wireless 

wi-fi built-in (802.11b/g) connect to your camera from your 

wireless enabled computer, meaning there’s no need for wires 

running around your property. Y-cam also supports WEP, WPA, 

WPA2 for total connection security.
