Other than one minor hitch which was encountered while trying to find the “Create account” section on the Home Monitor website, overall it was very easy to do. “The things we particularly like are the Wi-Fi operation, saving the hassle of installing Ethernet cable and the ability to add extra indoor or outdoor cameras to the same control panel and app”. The HomeMonitor HDS retails for £124.99 (exc. VAT) - for more information about the Y-cam HomeMonitor Plus package visit www.y-cam.com or www.homemonitor.me or for trade pricing contact Y-cam Solutions Ltd. on 020 8334 7373 THE door industry journal winter 2015
