Canon VB-C50i Fixed Network Camera and Server Solution

Features
Specifications

The VB-C50i delivers high-quality video from far distances and under the dimmest lighting conditions. Building on Canon's long-standing tradition as the leader in optics and image processing, they offer greater flexibility in the most demanding environments. The VB-C50i is perfect for professional-grade installations, providing a secure and sturdy connection interface. Now, with the addition of two-way audio capability, the VB-C50i is now ready for a wider range of users, with security monitoring, telemedicine, distance learning, webcasting, and video conferencing among the options. Capturing subjects beyond the scope of the naked eye, it breathes new life into the world of monitoring.

• What are Network Video Solutions?: Network Video Solutions from Canon allows you to transmit high-quality video images through the Internet or a LAN connection. This may involve an individual viewing scenes from multiple locations, many individuals viewing a single location or a combination of the two. Network Video Solutions literally puts you and/or the information you wish to broadcast in several places at once.

• Low Light Performance: Don't lose sight of anything -- in low light, or in complete darkness. With the Minimum Subject Illumination feature of the VB-C50i, you can still see what's happening even when light gets as low as 1 Lux (at 1/30 second shutter speed). The 3-step backlight control can also increase the brightness of shaded regions without affecting lighter areas. Not only that, but when the lights go out completely, the camera's built-in Infrared (IR) source lets you continue to monitor the action. (The camera's IR illumination is effective up to 9.8 feet.) Nothing can stop the VB-C50i from giving you the images you need -- even when the lights go out!

• Wide Angle View...Or Zoom In: The VB-C50i comes with an outstanding 26x Optical Zoom Lens and 12x Digital Zoom capability. With a zoom range like this, you'll get a wide-angle view that shows you everything you need to see. Or, you can zoom in and get a close-up view. When it comes to security camera zoom, the VB-C50i gives you the best of both worlds.

• Wide Pan And Tilt Ranges: The VB-C50i lets you see exactly what you need to see by panning through a broad reach of 200 degrees or tilting through 120 degrees. There's no hiding from this camera!

• Two-Way Audio Capability: The VB-C50i offers audio capability when the optional VB-EX50 Multi-Terminal Module is added. With the module a microphone can be connected to the camera, allowing remote monitoring of audio at the camera site. Admin Viewer or Viewer for PC and a speaker-equipped PC allows you to hear audio with the captured video images. Audio playback also lets the remote user or a pre-recorded audio file be heard at the monitored location through a powered speaker. Playback can also be linked to motion or sensor triggered events. 1

• Easy Connection and Installation: The cascade function of the VB-C50i allows you to connect up to 9 cameras to a single PC or up to 4 cameras to a VB150 server. Installation of your camera is made even easier because of the connection options the VB-C50i provides. The camera's secure and sturdy Multiple Connector Interface and Connector Block give you S-Video out, RS-232C in and out, as well as connections for Alarm out, Sensor in, and External Light Trigger. Plus, for those seeking built-in video and control connectors on the unit, the VC-EX3 connects to the VB-C50i providing direct access to S-Video, RS-232 in and RS-232 out. Your VB-C50i also comes with BNC video output and a supplied BNC/RCA video adaptor for even greater flexibility. With all this flexibility, you can get it connected -- and get it working for you right away.

• Canon Quality Images: Along with the VB-C50i's Genuine Canon Optics, the VB-C50i comes equipped with an impressive 1/4", 340,000 pixel CCD that gives you the ability to simultaneously transmit images in 3 viewer-selectable sizes with excellent resolution (30fps at 640x480). You can also enable IP monitoring for up to 50 clients.
