The preconfigured package of products comprises four Y-cam wireless high resolution cameras (which have built-in IR LEDs to capture clear images even when the area is in total darkness), a Netgear router and a Wavestore Opal digital video recorder.

"The surveillance package which we have put together with Y-cam is designed for small business and residential applications and presents an ideal solution for electricians and electrical contractors looking to offer their clients a cost effective and easy to install video surveillance system," said Chris Williams, Director of Marketing and Business Development at Wavestore. "The system is so easy to install that end-users could install it themselves if they wish with the help of comprehensive and easy to understand instructions."

The space saving Wavestore Opal digital video recorder, which is similar in size to a Yellow Pages telephone directory, has a massive 1TB surveillance grade hard disk for storing images and provides users with the option to add up to twelve additional cameras if required. Running costs of the Opal are low as it consumes less than 30 Watts.

"Our mantra at Y-cam has always been ‘easy-to-use' and ‘affordable'," said Simon Carr, Head of Sales at Y-cam Solutions. "This ready-to-go package will remove any barriers of entry for companies who want to capitalise on the exciting business opportunities available within the fast growth Surveillance & Security Solutions market sector. More and more small business customers are becoming aware of the real value and benefits they can get out of the latest IP surveillance tools, that simply has not been achievable or attractive with traditional CCTV systems. We hope this package will help lots of companies easily increase their revenues from their existing customer base, or help expand it, whilst their other business areas may be struggling to grow in the current climate."
