Features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R
Panorama picture creation functions and settings
The entire photographic range of the camera can be created and saved as a panorama picture.
The saved panorama pictures can then be easily used to visually set view restrictions and
presets.
Camera Position Preset function
If often-used camera angles (camera head aim and zoom position) and related items are saved
in advance as presets, the camera can be controlled from the viewer by simply selecting a
desired preset. Up to 8 presets can be stored.
View Restriction function
You can set restrictions on camera angle specifications and zoom magnifications to prevent
viewers from seeing certain camera angles. For example, if the VB-C10/VB-C10R is being
used to operate a fixed point camera connected to 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-C10/VB-C10R 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-C10/VB-C10R from a remote location without ever visiting the
place where the VB-C10/VB-C10R is actually installed.
More powerful security functions
The destinations for video distributions can be restricted based on passwords. Up to 20 clients
can be registered.
Recording videos via preset schedules or links with external devices
Still pictures can be recorded based on schedules set in advance or on ON/OFF events from
an external device. If VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB-C10/VB-C10R can
be automatically collected by a PC and viewed there.
