27th June 2011

Get a clearer picture of goings on in your property with the EyeSpy247HDSD IP Camera

EyeSpy247, an innovative provider of IP network cameras and monitoring solutions for
home and small business security, today announced the launch of its brand new High
Definition Megapixel IP camera - the EyeSpy247HDSD. Which also comes bundled with
Free access to EyeSpy247's unique online monitoring, recording and alerts platform,
making for a complete CCTV system out-of-the-box.

Whether people just want to look in on their home from work or while on holiday, monitor
the baby, or just want to keep an eye on loved ones the EyeSpy247HDSD makes it easy
as it doesn't need to be connected to a computer to work or require any special viewing
software. As only a web browser is needed for viewing it's Windows, Mac and Linux
friendly and can be accessed on-the-go via an iPhone and other smartphones too.

The EyeSpy247HDSD marks a step change in a range of affordable, all-in-one IP cameras
that are not only easy to install and use but are loaded with useful features. With its
advanced progressive CMOS sensor the camera is capable of streaming H.264, MPEG-4
and M-JPEG video up to 30fps and in 720p High Definition. What's more it offers on-board
recording to a Micro SD card for recording and immediate playback of clips from any
Internet computer or mobile anywhere, and at only 150g, including the stand, is one of the
lightest IP camera's available today.

It also sports an automatic IR cut filter for true colour video, powerful Infrared illumination
over 15 metres in pitch dark conditions, PIR and sound trigger sensors, 2 way audio and
long range 802.11N wireless connectivity, giving it better reach than most IP cameras on
the market. Plus a host of other capabilities packed into its tiny form factor.

Unlike a lot of IP cameras it's effortless to install, especially with BT Home Hubs and
broadband routers from Sky, O2, and many others. There's no more messing around with
fiddly 'port forwarding' or DDNS as EyeSpy247's unique auto-setup software takes the
hassle out of install and configuration - making it truly easy for anyone to get working.

The EyeSpy247HDSD provides users an altogether simpler, affordable and more
convenient way to keep a remote eye on the people and places important to them,
whether it's watching over their home or business, checking in on loved ones or looking in
on pets. Indeed, EyeSpy247's unique, all-in-one solution of Internet cameras plus web
based monitoring and alerts system is designed to help keep users informed when it
matters, no matter where they are.
The EyeSpy247HDSD is now available at an RRP of just £195.00 Including VAT

2011-06-09T14:56:00.001+01:00

Designed for discrete monitoring in office and small businesses, this palm-sized dome camera has been built with ease-of-installation in mind. Just one cable runs from the device, and a one-click-install bracket allows for rapid fitting to walls or ceilings.
The Y-cam Eyeball on cmac-cctv.co.uk

By using Y-cam's uniquely developed Push & Point™ lens system, the complexities of installing and calibrating traditional dome cameras have also been removed - adjustments to the viewing angle can be easily made without the need for a toolkit.

The EyeBall is equipped with the traditional Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet network connections, and understanding the need for flexibility, is also equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, allowing the EyeBall to slot seamlessly into any infrastructure, and cementing Y-cam’s position as a leader in wireless camera technology.

Compact in size, but not in quality, the unobtrusive EyeBall comes packed full of features; high quality full colour images, motion detection, 2-way audio, direct recording to virtually any NAS drive with NAS-Ready™, on-board microSD recording, and an enhanced “Moonlight” mode for low light vision.

More importantly is the ability to login to cameras from any internet-enabled device and view the camera remotely - perfect if you want to keep an eye on your business or the office while you're out of office.

The Y-cam EyeBall is supported by Y-cam's free multi-camera viewing software, Y-cam MultiLive, available for Windows and Mac, as well as free smartphone versions for iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Symbian devices, allowing you to stay in touch easily from any location.

2011-06-09T14:27:00.000+01:00

The NEW Eye-catching Fisheye Network Camera from VIVOTEK will be added to cmac-cctv.co.uk very soon

VIVOTEK FE8171V is the first fisheye fixed dome network camera from VIVOTEK, featuring detailed 3-Megapixel resolution with superb image quality

Equipped with a fisheye lens for 180° panoramic view (wall mount) or 360° surround view (ceiling/floor/table mount) without blind spots, this camera is able to provide an 8X wider field of view than a standard VGA camera, significantly reducing the need for multiple camera installations.

Click image for more info at the VIVOTEK website

The new FE8171V is extremely suitable for monitoring open areas such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offices, and much more.

The FE8171V offers more than seven display layouts, including original surround view, panoramic views, and regional views for various mounting applications. With the latest cutting-edge image processing, hemispherical images captured from the fisheye camera can be converted into conventional rectilinear projection for viewing and analysis. In addition, in the panoramic and regional viewing modes, users can utilize the ultra-smooth ePTZ function to easily zoom in and focus on a region of interest (ROI).

As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the FE8171V features a removable IR-cut filter, maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. Its IP67-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather conditions.

Additionally, the vandal-proof IK10-rated housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, microSD/SDHC card slot for on-board storage, EN50155 mobile surveillance, and iPad applications, the FE8171V is indisputably the top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with the greatest coverage possible.

Shoplifting hits all-time high as recession bites deep

The 2009 Global Retail Theft Barometer has been published this morning, and shows that instances of shop theft have reached an all-time high

Consumers unwilling to give up their luxury lifestyles in the recession are fuelling retail crime. Funded by an independent grant courtesy of Checkpoint Systems, the 2009 Global Retail Theft Barometer suggests that shoplifting has surged in the last 12 months, increasing by nearly 20% across the UK's High Streets and topping a staggering £4.88 billion for the first time.

Shrinkage is a major problem for many retailers and camera systems play a large part in controlling this type of crime. If you are a retailer and want more information on CCTV then visit our website or why not call us on Freephone 0808 192 1966.

A Success Story!

2009-11-02T13:18:00.000Z

CMaC Ltd recently installed two Y-cam SD cameras in to a commercial premises in Luton, one externally in a Shell viewing the yard, the other internally looking at a storage area. The installation, including configuring the router for remote Internet access, was completed within the day [Homeplugs were very useful due to a metal building shielding the wireless network] and the system commissioned and left doing its job.

A break-in occured that same night, it was discovered the next morning and the required images were down loaded by a Director of the company from his home later that day. The culprit was identified and proceedings started, the Directors were delighted and have stated that the installation paid for its self in one night.

When you have an installation in which the cameras cost the client well below £200.00 each, [excluding fitting] providing features and benefits that not many years ago cost thousands of pounds what more can you ask for from a CCTV system? For information on the Y-cam SD click on this link

Sunday Times Review of Y-cam Cameras

2009-10-25T09:14:00.000Z

Y-cam Cameras were recently featured in a Sunday Times Review. As follows:

"The only one on test to also work with Mac and Linux computers, this easy-to-use camera does the basics well. Once connected to your wireless home network, its motion sensor will start recording, with the option of saving footage to a remote server — so even if every camera and computer in your house is removed, the video will still be preserved. It can also send a feed to a 3G mobile phone; on a fairly weak signal, that video ran at just four frames per second, but was still enough to see what’s going on, with a good 45ft depth of field. The Y-cam can also send SMS or video messages to a mobile. An extra £30 buys the night-vision version, which doesn’t work as well in daylight.

Verdict: Off-site storage and Mac compatibility are big pluses."
