Whilst speaking to a customer on the phone recently I was asked whether the Axis 209FD-R is suitable for outdoor use.

Axis describes the camera as being able to “withstand vibrations, humidity, dust and temperature fluctuations”. The camera is also IP66 approved.

It may come as a surprise then that neither Axis, nor we at Network Webcams, recommend using the Axis 209FD-R outdoors. Sure it will deal with wind, rain and the occasional sub zero temperature but its downfall lies within its lens.

The Axis 209FD-R uses a fixed iris lens. This means it will struggle to deal with changing light conditions, hence making it fairly useless when you take it outdoors.

Incidentally, Axis has recently launched a megapixel version of the Axis 209FD-R with the unsurprising model name of Axis 209MFD. This is now available to buy from Network Webcams and will shortly be added to our online store, if you would like any further information in the meantime please give us a call on 0151 633 2111.

Y-cam MultiLive

We are happy to announce that the people at Y-cam have just launched a free software application which allows you to view live images from up to nine Y-cams simulataneously!

Free Software Download

Y-cam MultiLive is a security monitoring application which you can download for free directly from us here at Network Webcams. The application will allow you to monitor multiple Y-cams with audio using the White or Black models, all from the comfort of one screen.

Managed Video Clip Creation

The software helps manage the recording of video clips from all your connected Y-cams. Your recordings can be on-demand or set to record based on motion detection. Limits can be put in place to ensure that the amount of recordings does not exceed the amount of storage space available. A shortcut is provided in the application to take you directly to the folder where your recordings are saved, allowing quick access to your archives.

Main Features:

• Monitor up to 9 simultaneous live action views with audio listen-in
• Supports both Y-cam White and Y-cam Black or a combination of the two
• Full Screen mode. Utilise every inch of your monitor space
• Live video images scaled to fit screen or forced to correct aspect ratio
