Works, but not ideal.
The first unit I received was defective (it rebooted every 2-3 minutes, and sometimes would fail to reconnect to the network).The second unit works pretty reliably. It is nice to be able to view it in a web browser on either a mobile device or a PC.The camera fails to meet the ideal in the following ways:Occasionally (every 5-10 minutes) the video pauses. In a browser window, a refresh is required to restart it. In the dedicated MultiLive PC software, the video restarts automatically.The MultiLive PC software periodically locks up, and will not restart without killing the old process from the Windows task manager.Even at the highest quality setting, the picture is pretty pixelated for a 640x480 image. Frame rate does not seem to be 30fps as advertised.The audio feed has a constant background tickety-tickety-tickety...The infrared lamps emit visible red light, which makes the camera visible in the dark.Changing any of the night vision settings causes a clicking sound from the camera. Changing the IR filter setting causes a loud click which attracts attention.Automatic IP setting did not work. I had to assign the IP address manually.UPDATE: After 3 months of continuous use indoors, the replacement unit started freezing up (not responding to the network) about once a day, recoverable only by disconnecting and reconnecting power. Y-Cam replaced it under warranty (I paid to ship the bad unit to them). The new camera has new firmware and I was able to use automatic IP address assignment (DHCP).

CRAPPY PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
If I could give it zero stars I might. This camera worked well for about 1 month (if that). It constantly needs to be manually reconnected by unplugging and replugging the power cord. It has a "reset" button which doesn't actually help it reconnect to the network. We contacted the company (which has zero phone support, only email support) and they told us to use the reset button to help with connection problems... Duh... Clearly we've done that. I wish we hadn't wasted our money and had bought a cheap video baby monitor. We originally purchased this in hopes it would be longer lasting but since it never really worked efficiently and now just a few months later won't connect to our network at all I wish we would've never heard of this brand.

buy something else
DO NOT PURCHASE, absolutely useless, uses Internet Explorer, which is a terrible browser, cannot install software on a mac computer due to the micro cd that comes included. was able to set up but could not view online, mobile app for iphone is not supported anymore...so whats the point of having a security camera that you cannot access remotely. WASTED 200.00 BUCKS. OH, and theres no support either, y-cam website looks like a 5 year old built it. what a joke.

Avoid this camera
I plugged this thing in and the only thing it would do is click click click. My computer never would find it and when I looked for support you would have to call another country. All I wanted was something simple and robust that would record motions in my apartment. Unless you enjoy troubleshooting these kinds of toys I would avoid

Outstanding
Oustanding product. Pricey but worth EVERY penny. I bought this camera because the FOSCAM FI8910W camera I have for wireless baby monitors in my home stopped responding to ARP requests. Foscam support is aware of the issue and are trying to fix it.... It has been months and still nothing. Having the audio and video go out, and camera stop responding until you hard reset it is NO good for a baby monitor.NOT Y-CAM. I have 2 Y-Cams now and they are super High quality products with excellent firmware.Thanks Y-Cam and Amazon!

Wonderful and Cute Product
Really pleased with this camera and is perfect for what I needed it for, watching my back door. I needed to customize motion detection and I really liked the multiple window set-up and that I can set up sensitivity. Good image quality and very helpful team when I had a few questions to ask. Good job y-cam.

Y-Cam YCW005
Well packaged, much smaller and pleasing to the eye than previous models. Unfortunately the instruction book is reduced in size to fir inside the box and is consequently a bit difficult to read. However, as I already have a previous model, I knew how to set it up on my network. It is quite straight forward anyway, the router automatically allocates it an address within your LAN, the only parameter for you to decide upon is a port number. If you allocate a port number outside the usual programmed range, there is a facility within the menu to cover this. The picture is streets ahead of previous models, crisp, sharp and very close to normal colours. The enclosed mini disk, YCam set-up helps you through the menu, you can use the "wizard", or proceed manually, and certainly with 15 minutes, the system will be up and running. I live in very active WiFi area, with massive signals drowning me out from the other side of a very wide main road! For this reason, I connected my cameras up via my ethernet system. There is a facility to switch the Wifi facility off within the menu. Sadly, Y-Cam no longer include the free programme, Y-Cam Multi Live, which is handy if you have more than 1 camera, and it doesn't appear anywhere that I can see on the web. If you want multi viewing facilities on your computer, there is a list of alternatives which I'm guessing you have to pay for. There is a thin protective film over the lens which is quite difficult to see. I didn't spot it initially, and was concerned about a possible "flaw" on the glass! Once you spot the tab, and peel it off, the picture is perfect!

Good cams, good company.
These are good cams and I've been impressed with the company too. I have several around the house trained on entrances/exits plus a couple of Y-cam Bullet cams externally. They are all very configurable and every security cam software I've tried is compatible with them.I was impressed with Y-cam a couple of years ago when they had a quality issue and the CEO made a public statement about it. Two of Y-cam Cubes failed because of it (long after the warranty had expired) and they replaced them for free straight away.

Nice camera let down by software
Nice little camera but terribly let down by poor quality software. A lot of it is counter intuitive, setup isn't straightforward and settings need to be re-applied daily it seems. It's a shame as it could have been excellent if the software was a little better thought through and tested. And yes, I did download the latest firmware in the hope that some of these issues would be resolved. Alas no.

Great picture, poor sound, unreliable
The picture quality is great, but the sound quality is poor, with lots of interference! Works really well with a synology NASHad to mark this down to a 2 now, the first one I had stopped working all of a sudden after 1 month , so I got a replacement and after 3 weeks the nightvision on the replacement stopped working!!!

Not quite there yet.
Build quality is good but frequently let down on software, reliability of recording, long delay to bring up video feeds and a pain getting sensitivity for motion recording right. Not that big a fan especially for the price.
