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.
Features :
All-in-one Camera and Server Solution, Two-Way Audio
Capable: 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. The VB-C50FSi 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.
Unmatched Zoom Range Gives Unmatched Coverage: 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.
Performance Under the Most Demanding Lighting Conditions
: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 That Goes Anywhere : 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.
Detect Your Subject Automatically : 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.
A Wide Range of 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.
Other Features : The VB-C50FSi comes with
additional features, including: Control of network bandwidth DHCP (Automatically
assigns the IP Address) and DDNS Automatic image capture with 15MB of internal
storage capacity for still image recording -- activated by schedule, motion
detectors, or contact sensors. Optional Multi Terminal VB-EX50 Module for connecting
external speakers, cameras, sensors and alarms.
