Questions on Y-Cam Black Shell Weatherproof Outdoor Housing YCEX01

  • 1. Why you dont just sell ready assembled outdoor models?
    2. Is the wifi still working in the shell?
    3. Reduced signal?
    4. Can you access the micro sd easily if buying the knight version?
    5. Im thinking of buying 2 which models would you recommend?
  • 1. Because it's very easy for end-users to assemble the camera into the housing, the manufacturer does not offer a pre-assembled option, and if we spent time doing it we would have to charge a little extra.
    2. Yes the Y-cam wireless still works fine from within the plastic shell housing.
    3. Maybe a little, but it's never been found to be a problem.
    4. Once the camera is sealed within the housing you cannot then physically access the micro-SD card unless you disassemble the shell again to get at it. However, please bear in mind that you can access recordings made to the micro-SD card via your network, so you should only really need to gain physical access to the card if it develops a fault and needs to be replaced.
    5. The Y-cam Black SD. It is currently the only model available with the micro-SD slot (Y-cam Knight and White are due to become available December 2009) and the SD definitely adds features worth having for the small price premium.

  • Why are there different manuals provided for the Y-cam white and the Black/Knight?
  • Because the front face / lens area of the two different models is so different that it affects how you configure the front of the shell weatherproof camera housing. The front of the housing is supplied with a clear, domed window. The Y-cam White fits behind this and looks through it. However, because the Y-cam Blck/Knight has a larger front lens window itself (because of the integral array of infra-red LEDs), then the housing window is removed for use with these models.
    You can see the window in our unboxing photos, and that it is held in place by four screws.
