Canon VB-C10R Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor, Installation Example

Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device

By combining various sensors and switches to operate according to External Device Input settings, it is possible to build a monitoring system that responds to external events. Still pictures are recorded in the VB-C10/VB-C10R’s memory (→ P.3-16).

Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor

This is a monitoring system in which the VB-C10R installed in the ceiling records pictures every second for 3 seconds before the doors opens and 7 seconds after the door opens between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. The equipment shown in the figure below is connected to the terminals on the rear of the VB-C10R at installation.

Installation Example

Sensor A

VB-C10R	Cameracontrol
and videoimages
Sensor B

Ethernet

When the door opens and sensor B mounted on it separates from sensor A, an ON event occurs at external device inputs IN+ and IN–. In response to this event, the VB-C10R records pictures at the entrance and stores them.

VB-C10R Connection Example

Connector	Attached Cable
IN+, IN–	Sensors mounted on the door

Remove some insulation at the end of the cables from the sensor and

insert them into the IN+ and IN– terminals on the plug for the external

IN– IN+

device. Then tighten the screws on the plug to secure the cables.

Insert this plug with the cable into the external device I/O jack on the rear of the VB-C10R.
