The Y-cam has a built in DVR (Digital Video Recorder) that will capture video
clips with sound (from a built in microphone) and write them to a micro SD. For
every picture sent to RavenShoeSecurity.com a corresponding video clip is
recorded on the micro SD. When the SD chip fills up the older video clips are
deleted to make room for the new. Refer to the user manual for your exact
camera model for details of where to install the SD chip.
We do recommend using this DVR functionality as a backup should there be an
Internet service disruption that prevents the camera from sending images to
RavenShoeSecurity.com. However you can consider this section to be optional
and can setup the built-in DVR at another time if you wish.
To further improve the reliability of your camera system consider powering it
with a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). These devices automatically
provide power for a period of time should the main power fail. Since the cameras
typically use less than 5 watts, an inexpensive 425 VA UPS (about $50) can power
the camera for 3+ hours based on our testing. If the camera has the DVR function
running and is powered by a UPS then it will record motion activated video clips
during both a power failure and an Internet failure.
To activate the DVR follow these steps:
