Direct to NAS recording now available on Y-cam IP cameras

Announcement posted by Y-cam Solutions Ltd 02 Nov 2010

Y-cam Solutions Ltd announces the launch of their new NAS-Ready™ firmware update, allowing direct recording to virtually all NAS drives.

RICHMOND, London – November 2nd 2010 - Y-cam Solutions Ltd, a leading UK based manufacturer of innovative IP network camera, today announced the release of their latest camera firmware, which includes the highly anticipated NAS-Ready™ feature.

NAS-Ready™ is a totally new concept for Y-cam cameras, allowing a Y-cam camera to record directly to virtually any NAS drive, without the need for a computer to be switched on, or for 3rd party software to capture the video.

This new feature could not have come at a better time - NAS drives have become increasingly popular in homes and small businesses as an alternative to external hard drives, and with the addition of a Y-cam camera, it’s possible for users to have a robust security solution set up in minutes.

Y-cam’s new NAS-Ready™feature is a significant development within the low-end IP camera market. It brings professional and advanced monitoring within easy reach of any casual NAS drive owner, allowing them to store a vast amount of footage to an easily affordable external device of their choice.

Y-cam IP cameras are already compatible with market leading NVR drives from the likes of AVerMedia, QNAP and Synology, but NAS-Ready™ opens up quality IP surveillance to an entire new market of drive owners – with Y-cam being able to record directly to NAS drives from market leading manufacturers such as APPLE, BUFFALO, DATA ROBOTICS, D-LINK, FREECOM, HP, IOMEGA, LACIE, LG, Maxtor, NETGEAR, QNAP, SEAGATE, SYNOLOGY, and WESTERN DIGITAL.

The Y-cam NAS-Ready™ firmware (v4.21) is currently compatible with SD and Bullet range models, and can directly record to all NAS drives which support the SMB/CIFS protocols. This update is available free of charge to all Y-cam customers from http://www.y-cam.com.
