Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device
By using the "External Device Input 1/2" setting and connecting devices such as sensors and switches to the VB101, you can construct a monitoring system that operates in response to external events. The still pictures captured in this way are recorded on a flash memory card inserted into the VB101.
Sample application in combination with a
This is a monitoring system in which the lighting unit needed to take pictures switches on when the door opens and the

ON/OFF
Door opening signal
When the door opens and Sensor B moves away from sensor A, external device input In1 generates an ON event.
In response to this event, Out1 is controlled to switch on the lighting unit and
Ethernet images of the entrance are captured and recorded by the camera.
