Powerful Pan, Tilt and Zoom Communication Camera
The VC-C50ir features a state-of-the-art optical system for high level security monitoring. Benefits include a wide surveillance range and exceptional performance in low-light conditions.
Outstanding zoom capacity to capture every detail
With a 26x optical zoom provided by a powered Canon telephoto lens,
the VC-C50ir communication camera produces extremely close-up images.
Furthermore, a 12x digital zoom allows any area to be electronically
enlarged for detailed examination. This enhanced optical system
is based on Canon's long heritage in lens technology - making these
cameras ideal for critical surveillance applications, where accuracy
and precision are essential.
Superb performance in low-light conditions
The camera can deliver colour images even when operating in very
poor lighting conditions - as low as 1 lux - thanks to a bright
f/1.6 lens and a slow shutter speed. The VC-C50ir can also produce
monochrome images in total darkness (0 lux), using its Infrared
Night Mode. An integral LED illuminator provides a viewing range
of up to 3 metres, showing objects which are not visible to the
naked eye. Additional infrared lighting can extend the viewing range
still further.
Extended range with crystal-clear recorded images
The VC-C50iR is designed to be fixed to a ceiling and has a 340°
pan and 100° tilt range, for all-round visibility. The camera
has 9 preset positions, controlling camera angles as well as zoom
and AE settings. A 400K pixel CCD ensures smooth and sharp recorded
images. Plus, Automatic Noise Reduction further improves image quality
by processing the image before transmission.
Advanced connectivity for easy integration
A single 20-pin multi-connector accommodates S-Video and RS-232C
control signals. This provides quick and easy connectivity to other
devices, for simple integration into your existing system with minimal
cabling. A cascade facility allows up to 9 cameras to be connected
together, via the RS-232C interface. The cameras are fully compatible
with Canon's VB150 Camera Server. And, although the camera can be
connected to a host PC or camera server, an Infrared remote control
handset is supplied, allowing the operator to control the PTZ functions locally.
