VB101 Network Camera Server

You can have the flexibility you need in your network video system because a single VB101 Network Camera Server can transmit video to as many as 20 clients simultaneously. The total number of simultaneous clients depends on your network bandwidth, but you can set this in advance to ensure smooth operation. The VB101 can even be set to send periodic data packets so network connection is maintained.

With the network-enabled VB101, managing and controlling your network video system couldn't be easier. With your PC and a standard web browser, you set initial network configurations using the software supplied with the server. Then, once you're set up, you can perform administrative tasks and adjust settings such as image quality and capture rate through your web browser. No matter where you are -- and no matter where your cameras are -- you're in control.

Because it acts as a stand-alone server, you can operate the VB101 without a computer. You simply configure the network camera server, connect your camera and data line, and start webcasting. Nothing could be simpler.

With a maximum image capture rate of up to 30 fps and motion-JPEG image compression, the VB101 delivers -- whether your application is webcasting, distance learning, medical or security.

Bring your web pages to life. Add valuable, stimulating content to your website. With the VB101 acting as your web server, you can transmit video via your website at any time. Web page content can be stored on a flash memory card, transforming your website from a static, online brochure into an interactive, up-to-the-minute experience.

Automatically capture the still video images that are important to you -- whether it's the opening of a door or window, the activation of a motion sensor, or the flip of a light switch. By attaching sensors to the VB101 Network Camera Server through its IN/OUT device terminals, your camera will capture the events you want. Not only that, the VB101 can be programmed to automatically capture still images on the schedule you set.

Two built-in PCMCIA card slots are available for attaching a dial-up modem card, letting you set up a dial-up configuration. You can also expand your Internet video solution by connecting up to four VC-C4 cameras to a single VB101. No matter what your requirement, Canon has you covered.
