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 construct a monitoring system that responds to external events. Still pictures are recorded in the VB-C50Fi’s memory (→ P.3-28).

Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor

This is a monitoring system in which the VB-C50iR 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. Connect the devices below to each connector of the Multi-Terminal Module and set up. Please note that the Multi-Terminal Module is an optional product and is sold separately.

Installation Example

VB-C50Fi

Sensor A

Sensor B

Multi-Terminal Module

(VB-EX50)

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-C50Fi records pictures at the entrance and stores them.

Tip

Please refer to the Multi-Terminal Module User’s Manual for how to connect the Multi- Terminal Module to the VB-C50Fi.
