The VB-C50FSi Fixed Network Camera offers the key benefits of the VB-C50i Network Camera, but is designed as a low cost alternative for those not requiring pan and tilt control. It allows users to remotely monitor warehouses, construction sites, parking lots, office buildings and more - with exceptional accuracy and flexibility. The VB-C50FSi also has the capability for two-way audio for more usability. Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity gives greater ease of installation. This multi-capable fixed camera rounds out Canon's extensive line of Network Video Solutions products, offering just the right product to suit everyone's needs.

Camera & Server Solution
The VB-C50FSi is the fast, simple, affordable network video solution you've been looking for. With a Web server and FTP server built right in, the VB-C50FSi can transmit video images directly to your PC. You simply connect your camera to your computer through the Web or your LAN and, in minutes, you're viewing still or full motion video. There's also the built-in network server that provides viewing for up to 50 clients simultaneously. With such performance, the VB-C50FSi is a versatile and affordable solution for your security video needs.
Unmatched Zoom Range
The VB-C50FSi works in virtually all your locations because of its impressive zoom range. The camera's 26X optical zoom lens boasts the industry's widest focal length range. Combine that with a 12X digital zoom, and you've got a camera that gives wide coverage and can also zoom in to show you important detail.
Great Low Light Performance
If you need a camera for an extreme, low light situation, the VB-C50FSi is for you. At a shutter speed of 1/30th second, the VB-C50FSi performs with as little as 1 Lux of illumination. And, when there's even less light or no light at all, the camera's Infrared Night Mode with built-in Infrared light feature lets you see what's going on -- up to 9.8' away.
Resolution Flexibility
The VB-C50FSi broadcasts three different resolutions simultaneously and lets you choose the one that suits your needs. For example, if you have a slower connection or wish to view images through your video-enabled cell phone, you can select a lower resolution image. If your network can accommodate larger file sizes, you can select higher resolution images. The range of resolutions include: 160 x 120, 320 x 240, and 640 x 480.
A Compact Camera
The VB-C50FSi is easy to install wherever you need it because it weighs-in at a light 1.1 pounds and measures only 2.61"(w) x 5.28" (d) x 3.82" (h) (66.2 x 134.2 x 97.0 mm). Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the VB-C50FSi to receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable. That means that installation in hard-to-reach locations such as rooftops or ceilings is simpler and more affordable than before, as there is no need for additional power cabling.
The Controls You Need
The VB-C50FSi's scheduling function lets you control the operation of your camera. You can tell it when to record, or when to output signals to an external device. You can schedule by week, date, time, motion-detection, and more -- so you capture just what's important to you.
You Set the Schedule
With the VB-C50FSi, you can enable motion detection in four areas (within the camera's field of view) and set the level of sensitivity, area ratio, and duration of detected movement in each of the four areas. You can even automatically capture images with 15MB of internal memory for storing still images, activated by schedule, motion detection or contact sensor.
Image Quality You'd Expect
With the VB-C50FSi, you don't have to compromise on image quality. As with every Canon camera, you know you'll be getting the performance of Genuine Canon Optics. But, the VB-C50FSi also comes equipped with a 1/4" CCD with 340K effective pixels, giving you an extraordinary level of detail. On top of that, you get features like the backlight controls that let you adjust your exposure. And, the Shade Correction feature which brightens shadows without affecting brighter areas. The result is image quality that meets your critical security requirements.
Connection Options
The versatility of the VB-C50FSi means that it easily hooks up with your existing network video system. With the optional VB-EX50 expansion box, versatility comes in the form of connectivity possibilities. The options include: Audio Out, Video In/Out (BNC), External Sensor In/Out and RS-232C.
