1-2Features of VB-C500DThe VB-C500D is a compact network camera for indoor installation integrating camera and serverfeatures. Wide-angle Varifocal LensEquipped with a wide-angle varifocal lens with a wide angle of 82°, F1.1 and optical 2.4xzoom (digital 4x), the VB-C500D achieves video monitoring in wide-ranging applications,including stores and offices, as well as applications in small areas such as at ATM and inelevator halls. Compact Design Suitable for Various Installation EnvironmentsThe ultra-compact dome camera of 3.7 inches in size (dome diameter) can be installedinconspicuously in locations where appearance is given priority, such as in condominiumsand hotel stores.It can be installed in various ways, such as directly mounting on the ceiling, recessed into theceiling, and mounting on a wall. Capturing Color Images at 0.2 LuxWith its high imaging quality, the camera can capture color images at a minimum subjectillumination of 0.2 lux while maintaining low noise and high color repeatability (when the 1/30-second Smart Shade Control is turned on). Digital Night Mode Function to Automatically Adjust toCapturing at Low IlluminationWhen the illumination is low, such as during nighttime, the capture mode is automaticallyswitched from color to monochrome and Canon's unique low-noise, high-quality imagingtechnology is used to increase the digital sensitivity. If the Digital Night Mode function is used,images can be captured at a minimum subject illumination of 0.1 lux (when the 1/30-secondSmart Shade Control is turned on). Smart Shade ControlWhen the background is bright and the subject is difficult to see, you can change the contrastof dark areas to make the subject clearer. Unlike the backlight compensation, blown out of thebackground can be prevented because bright areas are not controlled. These processes areimplemented by the dedicated hardware in the camera, so drops in image quality can bereduced and system load can be decreased compared to when the conventional shadecontrol is used ( "Setting the Smart Shade Control in "Operation Guide"). PoEThe VB-C500D supports Power over Ethernet (PoE*) technology, which enables simultaneousvideo/audio data transmission and power supply by simply connecting a PoE HUB and asingle LAN cable ( P. 2-6). When connecting to a PoE HUB, you need not connect a poweradapter to the camera or perform any power wiring.* PoE stands for Power over Ethernet, which is compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard by the Institute ofElectrical and Electronic Engineers.
