What is Y-Cam?

Protect Hub 

The Protect Hub is essentially considered the 'central nerve system' is a piece of equipment that all your Y-Cam products connect to. The Protect Hub also has 8 Hours of battery backup, a pre-installed siren and SIM card. On top of this, you can access and operate your Protect Hub from your Amazon Echo Speaker, smart device app or the remote.

Motion Sensors 

When the Y-Cam Protect Alarm is activated, the motion sensors recognises motion within a 12m distance and at detection zone of 90 degrees. This particular product is great for protecting large rooms and spaces. In addition to this, the Y-Cam motion sensors are equipped with a tamper-proof switch, which is there to prevent any unauthorised removal. Y-Cam recommend that the motion sensors will have the best results if they are 2.3m from the ground, with a clear field of view. 

Remote Control & App 

The Remote Control & App, is simply; this piece of Y-Cam equipment makes it easier to control the Y-Cam Protect home security system without having to open up the app on your smartphone. You should bare in mind, however, that the remote is only for use within the local reception range of the hub. If you're wondering what the app does, well, simply put, it allows you to manage and control the entire system; including checking cameras, receiving notifications and changing settings. 

Siren 

The Y-Cam siren is another great addition to add to your smart home installation services. This piece of Y-Cam equipment is solar powered, tamper-proof intruder deterrent and has a 104 decibel siren. The siren is equipped with flashing lights too. Thinking about adding the Y-Cam siren to your smart home installation? Find out how we can help below.
