Product Description
Y-cam Y-cam Bullet: YCBL03
Monitor and record live video and audio from anywhere
You can view live video with sound from virtually anywhere in the world as long as you have a computer; a web browser and an internet connection. With the simple push of a button; you can take snapshots and record video directly onto your computers hard drive.
High quality video with sound
The Y-cam produces video at a maximum frame rate of 30fps displayed at up to 640x480 resolution; therefore allowing clear and smooth images to be viewed. The frame rate automatically adjusts to the available bandwidth.
Quick and simple setup
Due to the unique way the Y-cam has been designed; you no longer have to be "tech-savvy" to install and use IP Video 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.
Infrared Night Vision
The Y-cam Bullet utilises 12 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).
Infrared Cut Filter
Producing true day and night quality images - Infrared light is filtered during day time operation to produce true colour representation of the image. During night time operation the filter is removed to allow the camera to make full use of its night vision capabilities.
Fully weatherproofed for reliable outdoor use
The Bullet is the first true outdoor camera from Y-cam - its fully waterproof; and has shielded cables and seals to ensure smooth operation.

Man alive this thing is enormous! I think I was seduced by the name and the pictures into thinking it was a little tiny cigar-type thing which I could attach discreetly and easily wherever I might want it. But it's a whopper, and heavy as well. Don't believe the pictures... all but one of the publicity shots of this thing show it without any cables emerging but in fact there is a great big cable gland on the back (visible in one of the shots) which is not removable and which has a thick white bundle of cables coming out (power, audio, ethernet and terminal block). These are contained within a white sheath and break out into individual tails at the end. Since these aren't removable, and the camera can operate using power alone (via wifi) they're a bit messy. And if you want to install the camera outdoors or pass the cables through any wall or panel you'll need to drill a massive hole to get all the connectors through (and then find a way of extending the cables if you need to).
All that said, the actual camera seems to work really well. Easy to set up, picture quality looks good, infra-red function works really well. I paid a not dissimilar amount for a low-end Axis camera not long ago and it was, by comparison, awful especially in low light. This is much smoother and works nicely, took me about 20 mins to set up including internet access.
Now... all I need is one a fraction of the size which I can easily clamp to the edge of the baby's cot and I'll be happy.

I have got other YCam cameras - cheaper ones that were bought a year ago or so. I found them fairly easy to set up and were satisfactory. I decided to get a bullet for outside use to monitor the side of my house. I was concerned that the IR LEDs wouldn't be strong enough to flood the area but I needn't have worried - it did. I have a motion detection floodlight down there as well, and the camera transitions between pitch black and bright light seamlessly. I have set up the picture to be black&white and removed audio (because I don't need it).
Setting it up was easy. I learnt from last time, and plugged the camera directly into my wireless hub via ethernet. I looked up the IP that had been assigned to it and then connected using my browser. I just then went through each of the options. It detected my wireless network and I just had to give it the password. I didn't try anything too fancy initially: just setting the alarm to send an email of the still based upon the primary stream. I haven't put an SD card into the camera yet - may do that later.
Other things to note: I use a Mac. I didn't use the software provided with the camera because I didn't need to. The external antenna gave me great connection to my wireless network even though it was connecting with the entire house in the way.
All in all, 30 minutes from getting it out of the box to getting it set up. The sensitivity of the alarm triggers takes a bit of tweeking, and I will refine that over the coming weeks. I see that it came with something called YCam Hive, which seems to connect the device to various cloud computing service providers. I will investigate more to see if I will use any of those, but out of the box I didn't need to.
I would definitely recommend this product.

One of the reasons I choose this was because of the alarm function. I can tell you it works well, but has a very irritating flaw in the design. I cannot find a way of omitting spurious detections by insects (attracted by the IR lamps) or indeed rainfall.
The "Trigger time" setting does not seem to achieve the obvious, ie. allow you to set an amount of time that detected movement is considered as an alarm, so insects will trigger alarms, no problems. I have some not very interesting footage of all sorts of creatures flying directly in front of the camera. I swear some of them are saying "cheese".
However, it is a serious piece of kit, and I doubt there is anything better out there. I'm off now tu buy an outside lamp, and switch the IR off.

Great once set up properly.
