A Wide Range of Camera Control Functions

The BB-HCM311’s high-speed pan and tilt functions 
offer a maximum rotation speed of 80

°

/sec. These 

functions can be operated from a PC or cell phone to 
quickly change the camera direction. Using the built-in 
alarm function and a commercially available external 
sensor, the camera can also be automatically pointed 
to a specified direction when the sensor is activated. 
The camera is equipped with the following control 
functions for easy, effective monitoring in the desired 
direction.

The Alarm-Controlled Image Transfer function uses a 
commercially available external Sensor or switch and 
sends the image only when there is an action such as 
turning on the light or opening the door. The Timer-
Controlled Image Transfer function automatically 
transmits images according to the set time zone and 
the day of the week. These convenient functions 
eliminate your need to constantly check the image.

IPsec is a technology used to encrypt data packets in 
order to prevent eavesdropping by third parties. When 
combined with a conventional authentication function 
based on user names and passwords, IPsec offers 
enhanced security.

• Click & Center

When the mouse button is clicked at a location on the 
image, the camera moves so that the image is shown 
with the selected location at the center.

• External Output Control

This provides ON/OFF operation of an externally 
connected device. For example, it can be used to turn 
on a light when the surrounding area becomes dark or 
to turn on a buzzer in case of an emergency.

• Pan and Tilt Movement

• Preset

This function lets you preset the camera direction.  
You can use it to view the image captured from the 
preset camera position with one-touch operation.

Use of the built-in microphone and a separately 
purchased amp-equipped speaker enables two-way 
voice communication (transceiver system)*

2

 between 

the network camera and a PC used to monitor the 
camera image. Voice transmission and reception can 
be switched easily from the PC used to monitor the 
image. For example, it allows people in a head office to 
provide instructions or messages to people on a sales 
floor while observing the image on their PC.

Our new network cameras allow the use of a virtually 
unlimited number of IP addresses*

 by supporting 

IPv6, a next-generation protocol. The IPv4/IPv6 dual-
stack feature enables you to use IPv4 at the present 
and switch over to IPv6 in the future.

 This logo mark is issued by the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Committee, an IPv6 promotion group established mainly by the IPv6 Forum.

2

 This function can be used with a PC only. It cannot be used with a cell phone. To hear the voice transmitted from the PC, a commercially available 

speaker with a built-in amp must be installed. The transceiver system does not allow simultaneous transmission and reception of voices. 

    The BB-HCM311 may require a version upgrade to operate in the IPv6 environment.

 An IP address is a unique number assigned to each user so that the user can be identified on the Internet.

*

 IPsec is an IP security protocol for data encryption standardized by IETF, an international community devoted to the standardization of Internet 

specifications.

IPv6-Ready

*When e-mail function is used to transfer images or messages, e-mail 

transmission may not be possible in some cases due to the mail server 
authentication system (SMTP authentication, etc.) used by your 
Internet service provider.

*The image transfer functions can be used only with a PC. With a cell 

phone, only the e-mail transmission function can be used.
