Features

VB-C60 is a compact network camera, equipped with both camera and server functionalities.
40x Optical AF Zoom Lens and Pan / Tilt Control
Equipped with a 40x optical (and digital 4x) high-magnification zoom lens, VB-C60 is ideal for a
wide variety of video surveillance applications, such as indoors including retails and offices, as
well as parking lots, manufacturing plants and other indoors. Moreover, a combination of the
auto-focus and the pan / tilt control that move the camera right to left, up and down, makes it easy
to adjust the angle of view upon a camera installation. Also, it effectively works to control cameras
at distant locations when monitoring remote places.
High-Quality Video of Moving Subjects
VB-C60 utilizes the progressive-scan CCD to allow capturing noise-less high quality video of
even moving subjects.
Color Video at 0.7 lux and Auto Day / Night Capability
VB-C60 is capable of capturing color images of subject with brightness as low as 0.7 lux (1/30
sec.). In addition, the auto Day / Night capability* (→ dOperation Guide P.1-16) switches
automatically between color video in bright daylight conditions and black & white video in dark
nighttime conditions. These features make VB-C60 ideal for video monitoring of locations with
variable lighting.
* Operation of the Day / Night switching function should be tested thoroughly before use.
Simultaneous Distribution of JPEG and MPEG-4
VB-C60 utilizes JPEG/MPEG-4 for video compression, providing high-quality video at a high
frame rate of up to 30 fps*
2
to 30 clients* simultaneously.

* The frame rate may decrease depending on the performance of the Viewer PC, the number of
simultaneously connected clients and the amount of network traffic.
2
* Up to 10 simultaneous clients in MPEG-4 format.
Multisize Image Distribution
VB-C60 enables to distribute images in three sizes simultaneously (640 × 480, 320 × 240, 160 ×
120) in JPEG format.
Smart Shade Control
Smart Shade Control improves the brightness of shaded subjects with maintaining the brightness
of brighter subjects in the same frame. When shooting a shaded main subject with a bright
background, the shade control effectively works to make the shaded subject brighter and easier
to see, with mainlining the bright background. Unlike backlight compensation, Smart Shade Control
adjusts darker areas with maintaining the brightness of the brighter areas, so the background
image remains clear without "blown-out" (→ dOperation Guide P.3-28).
Three Metering Modes for Various Shooting Conditions
VB-C60 offers 3 choices of metering modes*:"Center-Weighted", "Average" or "Spot", which can
be switched depending on the shooting condition (→ dOperation Guide P.3-25).
* Methods for measuring brightness (amount of light) of subjects to set the exposure.
