Originally created to meet the specialized needs of the security
industry, the VB-C50i and reverse-mounted VB-C50iR deliver 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/VB-C50iR
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/VB-C50iR 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.
Features :
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. The ceiling-mounted, reverse model also
lets you tilt 120 degrees. But, it lets you pan a remarkable 340 degrees. There's
no hiding from these cameras!
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.
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.
Compact Size : At a mere 0.89 lbs, the VB-C50i
is a compact featherweight that's easily mounted wherever you need a camera.
Not only that, the VB-C50iR reverse model can be installed on the ceiling --
out of reach, out of sight, and above the competition.
