The partnership with Real Solutions gives IT resellers across the Netherlands the opportunity to expand their value to small-to-medium-sized business customers by offering advanced, affordable and easy-to-use IP security systems.
“I'm extremely pleased for Y-cam to be partnering with Real Solutions”, comments Simon Carr, Head of Sales for Y-cam. “IT resellers have a great opportunity today to easily expand their revenues from their existing customer-base. They already understand storage and networking, so training up staff to offer IP-based security is easy. The product range is simple to get to grips with, offers real value to end-users, and now we have a great distribution partner to support new resellers and help them become experts in this area”.
“How many small business owners would not want to be able to check in on their office remotely by smartphone? Or to be sent an instant email snapshot if something happened out of hours? Their business is highly valuable to them, and more often than not, the contents and equipment they own are very painful to replace.”
Y-cam cameras come with a wealth of powerful features tailor-made for the business owner – including indoor and outdoor models, night vision capabilities, alerts if motion is detected, plus they operate without the need for a PC or Mac to be left on permanently, reducing overhead costs. Y-cam cameras can be used independently, with some models supporting on-camera recording via microSD memory card, or they can connect to virtually any NAS drive via Y-cam’s unique NAS-Ready™ feature, which enables resellers to deploy a robust security solution easily and quickly.
“The rapidly growing developing market of NAS and NVR users, in combination with the increasing usage of smartphones, is creating a real demand for easy to use and budget friendly network cameras. Y-cam is exactly what these customers are looking for. The compatibility of Y-cam with leading NVR and NAS brands like Synology and Thecus is outstanding and provides excellent value to business owners. 2012 will be the big year of home security and consumer domotica, and we are offering our partners alongside Y-cam a head start in this market” said Bob Hoefsloot, Managing Director of Real Solutions Haarlem.
“We are very excited to partner with Real Solutions” said Reint Helewaut, Regional Sales Manager for Y-cam, Benelux, “Real Solutions have a very capable and highly regarded service, and will be of valuable help to us in our program to recruit new Y-cam resellers in the Netherlands”.
Y-cam provides free VMS/NVR software for Windows and Mac, Y-cam MultiLive, which is designed to replace the need for a dedicated DVR / monitor commonly found with traditional security systems. MultiLive allows users to easily monitor and record footage from up to 36 Y-cam IP cameras, including those at different locations, on any PC or Apple Mac.
To further target smartphone-using home and small business owners, Y-cam Solutions have developed a range of free smart phone applications for the iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Symbian platforms. The Y-cam MultiLive app allows users to easily access and control their cameras from their phones from anywhere in the world (in addition to using any web browser), so users are never far from an opportunity to see what’s happening.
