The VB-C50Fi 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 addition of a fixed camera rounds out Canon's extensive line of Network Video Solutions products, offering just the right product to suit everyone's needs.
All-in-One Camera and Server Solution
The VB-C50Fi 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-C50Fi 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-C50Fi is a versatile and affordable solution for your security video needs.
Unmatched Zoom Range Gives Unmatched Coverage
The VB-C50Fi 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.
Performance Under the Most Demanding Lighting Conditions
If you need a camera for an extreme, low light situation, the VB-C50Fi is for you. At a shutter speed of 1/30th second, the VB-C50Fi 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-C50Fi 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-C50Fi 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).
The Controls You Need
The VB-C50Fi comes with the control capabilities you'd expect in a versatile, high performing security camera. You can define 20 position pre-sets as part of a scheduled tour. Or, you can define 10 zoom position presets. What's more, you'll catch the most important action by setting your camera so that it is triggered when motion is detected.
You Set the Schedule
The VB-C50Fi'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.
Detect Your Subject Automatically
With the VB-C50Fi, 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.
Image Quality You'd Expect
With the VB-C50Fi, 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-C50Fi 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.
A Wide Range of Connection Options
The versatility of the VB-C50Fi 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.
