VK-16 Version 1.1 Network Video
Recording software is a more affordable alternative
to the VK-64 Version 1.1 software. You can record
live video from up to 16 Network Cameras, with
all the functionality of VK-64 software. Like
VK-64 software, VK-16 features support for the
VB-C50i and VB-C50iR Network Cameras, creating
opportunities in both new and established security
markets. Unlike tape-based recording, this solution
allows video to be stored, managed, and accessed
by a computer, for simplified archiving and playback.
When used in combination with other Canon Network
Video Solutions products, a security administrator
has a powerful, comprehensive system for monitoring
and recording.

Find, view and manage your network video with VK-16
Version 1.1 software -- through an interface that is
as easy to use as the VK-64's. Drop-down menus let you
select the location or zone you're looking for. Scroll
bars let you find what you need in a flash. You can
simply click-and-drag camera thumbnail images into the
Viewing Area. Grab and drag the corner of an image to
adjust its size. Use VCR-style video controls let you
play, rewind, fast forward, or skip to events. With
the VK-16's well-designed interface, nothing gets in
the way of capturing, storing and retrieving the images
you need.
As with the VK-64-s viewing area, you can set up theVK-16's
Viewing Area to show exactly what you need to see.
Simply select thumbnail video images from a number of
cameras and drag them into the Viewing Area to create
Video Windows. Then, size and arrange these Video Windows
according to your specific requirements. You can fill
your Viewing Area with as many Video Windows of equal
size as you wish. Or, you can set up your Viewing Area
to contain a single, large Video Window and a handful
of smaller ones.
You have the added flexibility of Full Screen Function,
which lets you enlarge your viewer layout so it is full
screen. Plus, you have the option of hiding your timeline
and camera selector areas when you need to maximize
your viewing area.
VK-16 software lets you save Video Window layouts. Once
they are saved, the Layout Sequence Function allows
you to program layouts to switch automatically according
to a schedule you specify. This function gives an operator
great flexibility; for example, you can set up two layouts
with 24 camera windows and switch back and forth between
them according to the schedule you set up.
With VK-16 Version 1.1 software, you're in control of
the operating schedule of all the cameras on your network.
Set cameras to record continuously -- or by sensor event
or motion detector event for scheduled periods. You
can even set up special schedules for holidays and out-of-the-ordinary
events that have different requirements. No matter what
the calendar throws at you, the VK-16 can handle it.
VK-16 Version 1.1 Network Video Recorder, makes finding
a shot or an event as fast and easy as with the VK-64.
The Viewer makes it easy for you to find what you're
looking for in a variety of ways. You can do a search
for a specific moment in time -- choose the day, hour,
minute or second to find the right image. Or, effortlessly
scroll through the Viewer Timeline to find and select
the event you want. You can search through a list of
recorded events catalogued in the Live Events window.
You can even do a search by event type, priority of
the event, the location/zone, or date and time. With
all these options, the VK-64 is a powerful way to find
the images you need when time is short.
Getting the shot doesn't mean a thing if the image quality
isn't good enough. That's why VK-16 Version 1.1 software
enables video resolution as high as 160 x 480 pixels
and a frame rate as high as 30 frames per second (depending
on camera servers installed). Not only that, but video
is captured using Motion JPEG compression. That means
every frame is a complete picture -- free of any image
degradation due to inter-frame compression. When you
need the detail, you know it's there.
VK-16 Version 1.1 software gives you ultimate control
over each of the cameras on your network. You can be
sure image quality is as high as possible by adjusting
the backlight compensation to the lighting conditions
for each of your cameras. You can adjust each camera's
sensitivity to motion -- and select the area within
the picture where motion is to be detected. VK-16 camera
contols even let you maximize your server storeage space
by letting you set lower frame rates where feasible.
And, with the Control by Camera Operation Panel that
is next to each camera window, you can pan, tilt and
zoom to make sure you're seeing everything you need
to see.
With VK-16 Version 1.1, you can react quickly to difficult,
low-light conditions. The software supports the low-light
features of the VB-C50i and VB-C50iR (when connected
to the VB150). From the camera window, the operator
can activate Night Mode with or without the camera's
IR light being on. Operators can also select 3 different
levels of Back Light Compensation when they encounter
an image that is too dark due to backlighting.
The operator can also use the software's Shade Correction
function while monitoring live video or playing back
recorded images. This function increases the brightness
of shaded regions without affecting lighter regions,
letting you see what you need to see.
Match any requirement you have with a variety of recording
modes. Continuous mode ensures that you capture all
the action. A variety of different modes ensure that
your cameras are recording when they're needed.
These modes include:
scheduled
sensor-event
motion-detection
pre/post alarm
When setting more than one recording mode, you can also
set a different resolution for each mode.
(Available only with VB-C50i and VB-C50iR.)
VK-16 software is more affordable than VK-64 and it
can still support the growth of your video network by
seamlessly integrating additional cameras, viewers and
servers. You can record live video from up to 16 Canon
network camera servers on one storage server. Or, manage
up to 3 storage servers with one PC, for a total of
48 camera servers.
User names and passwords ensure controlled access to
your network system. And, as administrator, you can
give operators access to live video but limit their
access to certain Storage Servers. With VK-16 Version
1.1 software, everything's under control.
