correction feature allows image processing without adversely affecting the existing lighter regions.
Camera Position Preset function
If often-used camera angles (camera head aim and zoom position) and related items are saved
in advance as presets, the camera can be controlled from the viewer by simply selecting a desired
preset. Up to 20 presets can be stored.

You can set restrictions on camera angle specifications and zoom magnifications to prevent
viewers from seeing certain camera angles. For example, if the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is showing
camera footage on the internet, it is possible to distribute videos while protecting privacy ( P.iii,
“Request concerning disclosure of live videos”).
Built-in Web server and FTP server
The VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is equipped with built-in Web server functions that enable both Web
pages and videos to be distributed through the Web by a single unit. Since it also has a built-in
FTP server, Web page data file transfers (FTP) can be performed from remote locations.
Simple set up and management
By accessing a Settings page provided on the Web, you can use the Web browser on your PC to
set up and manage the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR from a remote location without ever visiting the place
where the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is actually installed.
More powerful security functions
The destinations for video distributions can be restricted based on passwords. Up to 50 clients
can be registered.

external devices
By using the Multi-Terminal Module ( P. 1-11), you can set picture recording and audio playback

VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR can be automatically collected
to a PC and viewed there.
Audio transmission
Using the Multi-Terminal Module ( P.1-11), you can connect speakers to the unit and send
audio via the Viewer.

caused by motion of people or objects. Automatic tracking of moving objects is also available.
Service settings with schedule function
You can start up motion detection and external device services by setting up a visual and easy-
to-understand schedule in the calendar.
