Using The Still Picture Recording Function Linked To An External Device; Sample Application Combining A Door-Opening Sensor - Canon VB-C50FSi User Manual

Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device

By combining various sensors and switches to operate according to External Device Input settings,
it is possible to construct a monitoring system that responds to external events. Still pictures are
recorded in the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi's memory (→ P.3-28).

Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor

This is a monitoring system in which the VB-C50Fi installed in the ceiling records pictures every
second for 3 seconds before the doors opens and 7 seconds after the door opens between 5 p.m.
and 6 a.m. Connect the devices below to each connector of the Multi-Terminal Module and set up.
Please note that the Multi-Terminal Module is an optional product and is sold separately.
