Features

Power-over-Ethernet

VB-C500D

Canon?s PoE technology allows the use of a single LAN cable to power the network camera and transfer high quality video and audio data when connected to the PoE switch. Without the need of an external power cable, Canon?s network video cameras can be installed at any location you wish with ease ? indoors or outdoors ? and without additional expensive power cabling costs.

Wide-angle zoom

VB-C500D

The 2.4x zoom and 4x digital zoom capacity allows for the close-up inspections you require, while the advanced in-built image stabilisation technology minimises camera shake and image blur caused by strong winds or earthquakes so you are able to record clear and stable images every hour on the hour.

Custom pan-and-tilt

VB-C500D

Set the pan and tilt settings in perfect position during installation and leave it to work. With the versatile 82? wide-angle vari-focal lens, you can monitor both larger spaces and broader angles such as those required in shopping malls and carparks, or tighter spots such as in retail or ATMS, easily and comfortably.
