      If your Y-cam Security Camera's WiFi isn't working, it could be due to a weak signal. Try relocating the camera closer to your router or removing any obstacles between them. Also, ensure the SSID and encryption settings on your camera match your network settings exactly. Finally, check for any interference from other electronic equipment.

      Richard OrozcoAug 22, 2025
      If your Y-cam Security Camera's motion detection is triggering unexpectedly, it might be due to changes in lighting affecting the image. Motion detection is based on changes in pixel in the image. Lowering the sensitivity setting can help avoid these false triggers.

      If the motion detection feature on your Y-cam Security Camera isn't sending email alerts, first check that the email alert feature is properly configured. It's also possible that the SMTP server used by the camera is filtering emails to prevent spam. Try using a different SMTP server or contact your ISP to see if SMTP access is being blocked.

      If the picture viewing interface for your Y-cam Security Camera isn't appearing, ensure that your Internet Explorer settings allow you to download and install ActiveX controls.

      If the color of the picture on your Y-cam Security Camera appears strange, first confirm that your PC's color setting is set to 16 bits or more. If you have an infrared version of the Y-cam, the infrared LEDs might be altering the image's colors. In this case, try turning the infrared off.
