Manufacturer's Description
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 rightness.
True Day/Night Picture
Using an Infrared Cut Filter, the Bullet produces 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.
Weatherproof
The Bullet is the first true outdoor camera from Y-cam - its fully waterproof, has shielded cables and seals to ensure smooth operation, and is IP66-rated.
Professional Connectors
The Y-cam Bullet comes complete with Power over Ethernet allowing you to transmit data and power over a single cable, a Digital I/O for systems integration, and 2-way audio* capability (provided by a built-in micro phone and audio out connector) allowing you to remotely talk to anyone at your cameras site.
Record direct to microSD
Using the on-camera microSD card slot, the Y-cam Bullet no longer needs to be connected to a network or the internet to store streaming 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, via connection to a TV or PC, or view footage directly from the camera over WiFi.
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.
Secure Wireless connectivity
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, and utilises secure password authentication allowing you to be sure your cameras are only accessed by authorised users.
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 the video or images straight to a FTP server, meaning that your data will be safely stored offsite.
PC and Mac Compatible
The Y-cam Bullet is compatible with both PC and Apple Macintosh computers across multiple web browsers. Mac users can 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.

Customer Reviews
Strong points:
1) Very clear images and movies (clearer than my YCam Knight, despite having same pixel size....the Bullet must have a better lens).
2) Very sturdy.
3) Simple to set up (via browser interface), as are all YCams.
4) Nice management software (useful for small businesses with dedicated security staff....not so useful for a home).
5) Highly configurable. It is possible to achieve a good balance between detection of movement and oversensitivity (to avoid pictures of plants moving in the wind, and so on).
6) Power-over-Ethernet compliant.
7) Versatile holder/stand.
8) Excellent support from YCam directly or via their online customer forum.
9) The hood for the top does minimise solar glare.
10 IR mode at night time is surprisingly sensitive even at long distance (>10m).
11) Images and videos in colour are not distorted when the IR functionality is on at the same time. With the YCam Knight that I have, browns appear as purple, and so on, because of the interaction between the IR sensor and the normal daylight sensor....Apparently this colour distortion is normal with IR-capable cameras (simple workaround is to use black-and-white mode instead) but the YCam Bullet does not suffer this problem at all.
Weak points:
1) Big and heavy, so can be tricky to install and is highly visible. I wanted something much more discrete.
2) Bulky input box (separate to the main body) which also needs fixing/hiding.
3) Have noticed some serious software bugs when image buffering is enabled: the cameras consistently crash when changing some system settings when buffering is ON. Simple workaround/fix is to disable buffering. Other users of these cameras have noticed this behaviour (I found the cure to my problems when perusing YCam's own forum).
4) Expensive.
And a problem with all such cameras (definitely not a problem particular to this one): moths and other insects love the IR these cameras emit at night time, and spiders like spinning webs in front of it. So expect to receive many many pictures of little critters (lit up in full glory) moving around in front of the camera at night time. :)
Setup and performance of the camera are terrific! Color video during the day, and black and white video under self contained infrared lights in the dark. Video (and stills) can be stored on a micro SD card onboard the camera, on your PC, or on network area storage (NAS). Setup software is included on a CD and worked flawlessly.
Great value overall. I can see adding more of these cameras in the future.
