Canon Network Cameras Feature Explanations:
- 1 - Built-in Network Server
- The VB-C300, VB-C300R, VB-C50FSi, VB-C50i and VB-C50iR Network Cameras can be connected to the Internet or your LAN in an instant. The camera's built-in Web and FTP server supports many protocols for easy, direct connection to the web and practically any network. Once connected, you're ready for a world of IP monitoring and webcast applications. Up to 50 viewers can access the system simultaneously. The VB-C300 PTZ Camera's built-in network server allows for viewing for up to 15 clients at the same time.
- 2 - Superior Canon Optics
- To satisfy all of your imaging needs, the VB-C50FSi, VB-C50i/VB-C50iR and VC-C50i/VC-C50iR feature Canon's high precision optical zoom lens. With 340,000 pixels, images are crisp and bright. These cameras boast the best magnification in the industry, thanks to a genuine Canon 26x optical zoom lens and 12x digital zoom (312x combined). Teamed with Canon's professional quality photo optics, it's perfect for detailed monitoring of large areas.
Incorporating a Genuine Canon 2.4x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens with 4x Digital Zoom, the VB-C300 PTZ Camera has an Auto Focus system designed to keep the majority of the camera's image plane in sharp detail. The advanced lens design reduces the "fish-eye" distortion typical of extreme wide-angle lenses.
- 3 - Built-in IR Light
- Security professionals require clear images even in dark environments, and now they can monitor dimly lit locations with Canon's network cameras. With a 340,000 pixel CCD, and low light (1 Lux) sensitivity, they're able to capture color video in as little as one lux of illumination. A Night Mode with built-in infrared light allows theses cameras to capture clear black and white images even in complete darkness, allowing security administrators to increase their viewing options in dark parking lots, at university campuses, hospitals, and warehouse facilities.
- 4 - Multi-Streaming Capability
- Viewers with slower connections or video-enabled cell phones may not want or be able to receive the VB-C50FSi and VB-C50i/VB-C50iR cameras' highest-quality video, given its larger file size. For customable flexibility, the cameras simultaneously broadcast in three file sizes from which the viewer can select. The system can accommodate up to 50 clients. The VB-C300 PTZ Camera's built-in network server allows for viewing for up to 15 clients at the same time.
