Features of the VB-C50Fi

View Restriction function

You can set restrictions on camera zoom magnifications. For example, if the VB-C50Fi is showing camera footage on 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-C50Fi 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-C50Fi from a remote location without ever visiting the place where the VB-C50Fi is actually installed.

More powerful security functions

The destinations for video distributions can be restricted based on passwords. Up to 50 clients can be registered.

Recording videos via preset schedules or links with external devices

You can configure picture recording etc. based on ON/OFF input from the external device using the Multi-Terminal Module (→ P.1-10) and schedules you have configured beforehand. If VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB-C50Fi can be automatically collected to a PC and viewed there.

Night mode shooting

If you use the infrared cut filter, you can take pictures even in darkness.

Motion detection function

You can perform external device control and video recording by detecting changes in the image caused by motion of people or objects.

Service settings with schedule function

You can start up motion detection and external device services by setting up a visual and easy- to-understand schedule in the calendar.
