Features :
Ease And Usability Of The Web : With the Canon
VB101 Network Camera Server's built-in web server and FTP server, you can easily
view video and control your cameras over the web or LAN using a web browser.
Because the VB101 operates using standard TCP/IP and HTTP protocols, the simplicity
and versatility of web-based video can be yours. Viewing Versatility : You can
have the flexibility you need in your network video system because a single
VB101 Network Camera Server can transmit video to as many as 20 clients simultaneously.
The total number of simultaneous clients depends on your network bandwidth,
but you can set this in advance to ensure smooth operation. The VB101 can even
be set to send periodic data packets so network connection is maintained.
Easy Server Control : With the network-enabled
VB101, managing and controlling your network video system couldn't be easier.
With your PC and a standard web browser, you set initial network configurations
using the software supplied with the server. Then, once you're set up, you can
perform administrative tasks and adjust settings such as image quality and capture
rate through your web browser. No matter where you are -- and no matter where
your cameras are -- you're in control. Simplicity In An Internet Video Solution
: Because it acts as a stand-alone server, you can operate the VB101 without
a computer. You simply configure the network camera server, connect your camera
and data line, and start webcasting. Nothing could be simpler.
Outstanding Image Quality : Because it's Canon,
you always get the image quality you need. With a maximum image capture rate
of up to 30 fps and motion-JPEG image compression, the VB101 delivers -- whether
your application is webcasting, distance learning, medical or security.
Add Video To Your Website : Bring your web
pages to life. Add valuable, stimulating content to your website. With the VB101
acting as your web server, you can transmit video via your website at any time.
Web page content can be stored on a flash memory card, transforming your website
from a static, online brochure into an interactive, up-to-the-minute experience.
Sensor-triggered or Scheduled Image Capture : Automatically
capture the still video images that are important to you -- whether it's the
opening of a door or window, the activation of a motion sensor, or the flip
of a light switch. By attaching sensors to the VB101 Network Camera Server through
its IN/OUT device terminals, your camera will capture the events you want. Not
only that, the VB101 can be programmed to automatically capture still images
on the schedule you set.
Expandability and Versatility : Two built-in
PCMCIA card slots are available for attaching a dial-up modem card, letting
you set up a dial-up configuration. You can also expand your Internet video
solution by connecting up to four VC-C4 cameras to a single VB101. No matter
what your requirement, Canon has you covered.
