Originally created to meet the specialized needs of the security industry, the VB-C50i and reverse-mounted VB-C50iR deliver high-quality video from far distances and under the dimmest lighting conditions. Building on Canon's long-standing tradition as the leader in optics and image processing, they offer greater flexibility in the most demanding environments. The VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is perfect for professional-grade installations, providing a secure and sturdy connection interface. Now, with the addition of two-way audio capability, the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is now ready for a wider range of users, with security monitoring, telemedicine, distance learning, webcasting, and video conferencing among the options. Capturing subjects beyond the scope of the naked eye, it breathes new life into the world of monitoring.

Low Light Performance
Don't lose sight of anything -- in low light, or in complete darkness. With the Minimum Subject Illumination feature of the VBC50i, you can still see what's happening even when light gets as low as 1 Lux (at 1/30 second shutter speed). The 3-step backlight control can also increase the brightness of shaded regions without affecting lighter areas. Not only that, but when the lights go out completely, the camera's built-in Infrared (IR) source lets you continue to monitor the action. (The camera's IR illumination is effective up to 9.8 feet.) Nothing can stop the VB-C50i from giving you the images you need -- even when the lights go out!

Wide Angle View...Or Zoom In
The VBC50i comes with an outstanding 26x Optical Zoom Lens and 12x Digital Zoom capability. With a zoom range like this, you'll get a wide-angle view that shows you everything you need to see. Or, you can zoom in and get a close-up view. When it comes to security camera zoom, the VB-C50i gives you the best of both worlds.

Wide Pan And Tilt Ranges
The VB-C50i lets you see exactly what you need to see by panning through a broad reach of 200 degrees or tilting through 120 degrees. The ceiling-mounted, reverse model also lets you tilt 120 degrees. But, it lets you pan a remarkable 340 degrees. There's no hiding from these cameras!

Two-Way Audio Capability
The VBC50i offers audio capability when the optional VB-EX50 Multi-Terminal Module is added. With the module a microphone can be connected to the camera, allowing remote monitoring of audio at the camera site. Admin Viewer or Viewer for PC and a speaker-equipped PC allows you to hear audio with the captured video images. Audio playback also lets the remote user or a pre-recorded audio file be heard at the monitored location through a powered speaker. Playback can also be linked to motion or sensor triggered events.

Canon Quality Images
Along with the VB-C50i's Genuine Canon Optics, the VB-C50i comes equipped with an impressive 1/4", 340,000 pixel CCD that gives you the ability to simultaneously transmit images in 3 viewer-selectable sizes with excellent resolution (30fps at 640x480). You can also enable IP monitoring for up to 50 clients.

Compact Size
At a mere 0.89 lbs, the VB-C50i is a compact featherweight that's easily mounted wherever you need a camera. Not only that, the VB-C50iR reverse model can be installed on the ceiling -- out of reach, out of sight, and above the competition.
