Broadband Video Distribution function
The VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is capable of capturing videos at up to 30 fps (NTSC)/25 fps (PAL).
Motion-JPEG type is used to compress video images. For networking, auto-negotiation between
Ethernet 100Base-TX/10Base-T is provided and a leased line or ADSL can also be used through
a router. Since video quality and the frame rate can be freely set, videos can be distributed under
conditions that best suit the network bandwidth.
* Please refer to P.1-11 to confirm whether your VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is PAL model or NTSC model.
Concurrent video is distributed up to 50 clients
Up to 50 clients can view video at the same time from a single VB-C50i/VB-C50iR.
Camera and video distribution server functions housed in a single unit
The camera capable of full pan, tilt, and zoom functions and its server functions for distributing
videos through a network are compactly housed in a single unit. By simply connecting a LAN
cable and a power supply, the unit can distribute live videos from any location* where it is installed.

High-performance 26x zoom and wide angle photographic range
The camera section is equipped with a 26x zoom lens. Furthermore, since the VB-C50i provides
a pan angle of 200 degrees (100 degrees each to the left and right) and a tilt angle of 120
degrees (90 degrees up and 30 degrees down), and the VB-C50iR provides a pan angle of 340
degrees (170 degrees each to the left and right) and a tilt angle of 100 degrees (10 degrees up
and 90 degrees down), the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR are capable of shooting wide areas.
Can be mounted on ceilings, etc. (VB-C50iR)
The VB-C50iR includes a mounting plate, enabling it to be mounted in a variety of locations
including ceilings*. The shape of the camera head has been designed so that pan and tilt operations
are still possible when mounted upside down.
* The unit cannot be installed in locations subject to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or
other adverse conditions (
