Using VBCollector

VBCollector is used to view pictures recorded by the VB101. With VBCollector, you can collect and display still pictures recorded by the VB101 based on inputs from an external device or schedules. VBCollector accesses the VB101 at specific times expressed in units such as dates, weeks, or months, and then downloads the recorded pictures. Since the recorded pictures are saved one after another in the PC on which VBCollector is installed, pictures can still be securely saved when the allowable limit on the number of pictures that the VB101 can record and save has been exceeded. Downloaded images can also be easily viewed in the Web browser.
