Adding a microSD to your Y-cam will allow you to record footage and motion alerts direct to memory card for future review.
If you do not have a microSD card, but plan to add one later, this is fine. When inserting the card, remember to turn the power off from the camera, insert the card, and then power it back on.
The Y-cam officially supports microSD memory cards with capacities ranging from 16Mb to 8GB, including those labeled “SDHC”.
You are advised to format the microSD card through your computer (with FAT32 file system) before installation.
microSD Important Notes and Information
1) There is a limit to the number of rewrites possible on any MicroSD memory card. If you notice the card
becoming slow or sluggish after a reasonable usage, you will probably need to replace the microSD memory card. You should try to avoid purchasing second-hand memory cards.
2) If the card is not recognized by the Y-cam, try formatting the microSD card via your computer and then trying it
again in the camera.
3) Images may not be recorded or read correctly if an unsupported MicroSD memory card is used with the Y-cam.
4) Carefully read the User guide, precautions on use, and any other information that was supplied with the
memory card when purchased.
5) Do not use a memory card containing data recorded by another device as this may result in the Y-cam not
functioning correctly.
6) Do not modify, overwrite the data, or change the folder names of the MicroSD memory card. It may result in the
Y-cam not functioning correctly.
7) Always turn the power off to your camera before removing the microSD memory card.
8) Y-cam Solutions Ltd cannot be held liable for any loss of data or product misuse.
