Specifications

The VC-EX3 is an adapter that connects the VC-C50i/VC-C50iR
multi-connector socket with the RS-232C cable. The connecting
terminal is equipped with three terminals: an S-video output, RS-
232C output and RS-232C input. A BNC-RCA converter connector is attached.
A Night Mode with built-in infrared light allows the camera
to capture clear black and white images even in complete
darkness. An additional external infrared light can also be
connected.
A modem card or memory card can be attached via the card
slot. Sensor-triggered images or images captured on
schedule may be stored on the memory card (sensor-
triggering and scheduling can be used simultaneously).
Furthermore, due to input/output via two external contacts
per unit, external devices can be turned on and off. Abnor-
malities and access conditions can be stored as log data,
then forwarded by e-mail to specified addresses.
The VB150 captures images at a maximum of 30 fps and
uses Motion-JPEG for image compression. The image quality
and capture rate can be set freely on the transmitting side.
These cameras are equipped with a 26x optical zoom lens
(9-group, 11-element multi-group configuration), which makes
it possible to capture clear, high-resolution images. In
addition, the large aperture of F1.6 is the fastest in its class.
The VB150 camera server has superior expandability,
and is capable of transmitting live images through
the Internet and Intranet. Images from Canon’s VC-
C50i/VC-C50iR cameras as well as other cameras can
be transmitted.
These analog PTZ cameras are equipped with high
magnification, high sensitivity and night mode.
They are high-performance cameras that improve
monitoring capability.

High Image Quality and High Frame Rate
Up to four Canon communication cameras can be
completely controlled by cascading; all other general video
cameras (NTSC) can also be installed. Images from up to
four cameras can be displayed and recorded simultaneously
with the Network Video Recorder VK-64/VK-16.
Up to Four Cameras Can Be Connected
With a fast lens and high-sensitivity CCD with 680K pixels,
these cameras improve image-capturing performance in
low-light environments, improving monitoring capability.
Night Mode Feature and Built-in Infrared Light
Expandability
By setting the visible range, your camera can control the
areas you want to show and display them. By setting the
“home position,” the camera moves to the specified
position when there is no controller, giving you additional
flexibility.
Privacy and image rights: Please install and use network cameras responsibly, taking into consideration privacy and image rights (including audio data picked up by microphone) of the party being imaged.
Superior Camera Control
The VB150 contains both a web server and an FTP server.
Access can be limited by user name and password or IP
address. Images can be transmitted simultaneously to up to
50 users. Constant access can be maintained from the
VB150 side by the “network connection feature” and “auto-
matic dialing (PPP transmission) feature,” which transmit
packets at regular intervals.
