Part Of Your Robust, Versatile Network Video Solution
: Transmit smooth, real-time video over your LAN or WAN or the Internet
with the Canon VB150 Network Camera Server. Along with up to 4 Canon VC-C4/R
Pan Tilt Zoom Cameras, the VB150 will fulfill your most demanding network video
requirements -- whether it's distance learning, medical, webcasting or security.
Automatic Image Capture: Automatically record
the images you can't afford to miss. Use the motion-detection software that
comes with your VB150, and plug in trigger sensors to the server's IN/OUT device
terminal. Your camera will now record still images of events such as the opening
of a door or window, activation of a light switch, or motion detection -- and
automatically e-mail them to designated recipients. Or, it will capture images
according to the schedule you set. Either way, your VB150 and Canon cameras
never miss a thing.
Wireless Flexibility :For the ultimate in
network video flexibility, you can install your VB150 Network Camera Server
without the restrictions of a network cable. With a PCMCIA slot for an optional
wireless network card, there's one more advantage to a Canon network video solution.
Easy Server Control : No matter where you
are, you're in control of your VB150. Set up your initial network configuration
with only your PC, a standard web browser, and the software supplied with the
server. From that point on, you can easily adjust image quality, capture rate,
and perform administrative tasks -- all through your web browser.
Up To 50 Viewers At A Time : Meet the demands
of your multi-viewer requirements with the VB150 Network Camera Server. The
VB150 supports up to 50 clients seamlessly and simultaneously. The total number
of clients depends on your network bandwidth, but you can set this in advance
to ensure smooth operation. The VB150 can even be set to send periodic data
packets so network connection is maintained.
Add Video To Your Website :The VB150 lets
you add interactive, current content to your webpages. Create a webpage on a
memory card and plug the card into your unit. Your VB150 transmits seamlessly
to the Internet, creating an online experience that realizes the potential of
the web.
Connection Versatility : The VB150 has all
the connection versatility you need in a network camera server. The unit automatically
switches between Ethernet 100 and 10 Mbps to ensure uninterrupted high-speed
communication. As well, two built-in PCMCIA card slots are available for attaching
a dial-up modem card, flash memory card or wireless network card. With this
flexibility, the VB150 has all the connectivity options you need.
