Features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R

Panorama picture creation functions and settings

The entire photographic range of the camera can be created and saved as a panorama picture. The saved panorama pictures can then be easily used to visually set view restrictions and presets.

Camera Position Preset function

If often-used camera angles (camera head aim and zoom position) and related items are saved in advance as presets, the camera can be controlled from the viewer by simply selecting a desired preset. Up to 8 presets can be stored.

View Restriction function

You can set restrictions on camera angle specifications and zoom magnifications to prevent viewers from seeing certain camera angles. For example, if the VB-C10/VB-C10R is being used to operate a fixed point camera connected to the Internet, it is possible to distribute videos while protecting privacy (→ P.iii, “Request concerning disclosure of live videos”).

Built-in Web server and FTP server

The VB-C10/VB-C10R is equipped with built-in Web server functions that enable both Web pages and videos to be distributed through the Web by a single unit. Since it also has a built-in FTP server, Web page data file transfers (FTP) can be performed from remote locations.

Simple set up and management

By accessing a Settings page provided on the Web, you can use the Web browser on your PC to set up and manage the VB-C10/VB-C10R from a remote location without ever visiting the place where the VB-C10/VB-C10R is actually installed.

More powerful security functions

The destinations for video distributions can be restricted based on passwords. Up to 20 clients can be registered.

Recording videos via preset schedules or links with external devices

Still pictures can be recorded based on schedules set in advance or on ON/OFF events from an external device. If VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB-C10/VB-C10R can be automatically collected by a PC and viewed there.
