The Y-cam app gives you the same functionality you get with the Protect Remote but you can do much more with the Y-cam app such as set up alerts, upgrade the firmware of the hub system, enable/disable the Tamper switch, check the signal strength and check battery level of sensors.
What's in the box? Here is what you get with the Y-cam Protect Alarm System:
Hub System

The hub system registers the inputs received from the sensors and features an LED indicator light, an antenna port, an Ethernet port and a power DC port. On the bottom of the unit, you get rubber feet and holes for hanging up the unit.

the remote features a panic button
The Protect Remote controls the Y-cam hub alarm system without using the Y-cam app so it allows you to arm/disarm the alarm the system at close range (around 150 meters). The remote is powered by a single CR2450 coin cell battery. The remote also features a Home button which when pressed disables the motion sensor when you are home (the access sensors remained armed).Protect Motion Sensor

the alarm sounds loud enough to spook a would-be thief
The larger part of the Protect Access Sensor is powered by a single CR123A coin cell battery and measures 69,5mm long. The smaller part is non-battery powered and measures 34.75mm long. The Protect Access Sensor will send a signal to the main system hub when battery is running low.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1VJo2NAQPRg7CdIydA3DrCxyFWLCrSqkYsnxUz1Xk7W6GOM5zpVLeufzYYCP-aj_H2fbgZ1V7Yow0VzwqwZZCQpz6SXULz9JsLCoR83Y415XysVVrhXMXKIMiULdWHv3HciJNFNZMSXwh/s640/IMG_20170209_112550.jpg)
