Before Using the VB101

12 13

■Simple set up and management

By accessing a Setup Management page provided on the Web, you can use the Web browser on

your PC to set up and manage the system from a remote location without ever visiting the place

where the system is actually installed. You can also use the special setup program provided to

specify the initial IP address. IP addresses can be automatically specified in network

environments where Bootp can be used.

■Log functions

You can use the logging functions to save log information on events such as faults and access

statuses to a file and then send that information to a specific e-mail address.

■Built-in Web server and FTP server

As well as transmitting video images, the VB101 also features built-in Web server functions for

Web pages. By making Web page data to an optional flash memory card, the VB101 can be

also used to transmit data and video images across the Web. Moreover, because the VB101

has a built-in FTP server, it is also possible to download Web pages remotely.

■Fully expandable

The VB101 is provided with 2 card slots which you can use to add a modem, or a flash memory

as required.

■Concurrent video is distributed up to 20 clients

Up to 20 clients can view video at the same time from a single VB101. Also, the number of

concurrent accesses can be specified on the camera server to suit the available network

bandwidth.

■Camera control rights to coordinate camera control contention

The introduction of control rights means that contention can be prevented when multiple video

receivers are controlling the camera at the same time. The default time for which clients receiving

images have exclusive control of the camera is 20 seconds in the initial factory settings. (This

setting can be changed from the server.)

■More powerful security functions

The destinations for video transmissions can be restricted based on IP addresses and passwords.

■Picture recording function using schedule management and coop-

eration with external devices

The VB101 is provided with picture recording and digital output functions controlled by preset

schedules, along with on/off functions that are triggered by digital input from connected devices.

These features expand the range of system applications still further.

Features of the VB101

The VB101 digitalizes images captured from a video camera, allowing easy distribution of these images

over the Internet or an intranet. The person receiving the images can use the Canon WebView Livescope

software (Java version viewer and Helper version viewer) to view the images. If a Canon Communication

camera is used, a wide range of additional functions are also available, including remote camera control

and using a Web page for everything from transmitting video information to video image monitoring.

Furthermore, by using this system together with the optional* WebView Livescope MV monitoring viewer, you

can conduct remote monitoring from multiple locations. For more information on how to use the WebView

viewer software and the WebView Livescope MV software, refer to the respective software manuals.

*VB-101 can also be used in VIEW-Windows.

*VIEW-Windows is a product designed for use within Japan.

■High-quality images with a high frame rate

The VB101 is capable of image capture at speed of up to 30 fps. Image compression is performed

using Motion-JPEG. Because the sender can control the image quality and capture rate, the

settings can be optimized for the network environment. The image quality can be set on a scale

from 1 to 99, and the capture rate can be set to speeds between 0.1 and 30 fps.

■Up to 4 cameras connected

Up to 4 video cameras can be connected to the VB101 and up to two cameras can be selected for

camera control. Cameras can be switched by the viewer and the images from the selected

camera are displayed. Two RCA sockets are provided as the input interface for video cameras

and 2 BNC sockets are provided for cameras commonly used for monitoring. The user can

specify which camera connected to which socket is to be controlled.

■Versatile camera control

If a Canon Communication camera is used, the client can control the angle (pan and tilt) and the

zoom ratio of cameras installed in remote locations just as if he or she was actually there. The

client can also impose operating limits by specifying camera angles that are not to be shown and

restricting the available zoom settings.

■Preset function for camera positions

By registering camera angles specified beforehand, the user can display a scene requested by a

client simply by selecting the specified preset information.

■New VC-C4/VC-C4R Cameras supported

The VB101 can be used with the latest Canon Communication Camera VC-C4/

VC-C4R (support for reverse suspended installation). This allows the user to

control VC-C4/VC-C4R cameras, which provide improved performance and

functionality, including reverse suspended installation and a larger control

range than the VC-C3 and VC-C1 MK II.

■Internet/intranet compatibility

The VB101 software is compatible with TCP/IP and HTTP, the standard Internet protocols, allowing

video image transmission and remote camera control to be performed easily from a Web browser.

The Ethernet interface supports 10 Mbps/100 Mbps autosensing (or auto detection), and a PC card

modem can be used to access public switched telephone networks.
