Wide Angle Lens with Auto-Focus
The VB-C300 features a genuine Canon auto-focus wide angle lens, with a 70° maximum horizontal angle of view letting you get more of the scene into the frame, even at close range- making it the right choice for monitoring tight spaces such as an ATM kiosks.
The wide angle of view is also ideal for comprehensive monitoring of large sites, where it's important to catch as much of the scene as possible in a single shot.
The VB-C300 lens is able to maintain accurate focus throughout the entire image, compared to typical wide-angle lens cameras, where the corners are often out of focus.
Canon is famous for superbly engineered broadcast and camera lenses, and the 2.4x Optical Zoom lens as found in the VB-C300 delivers the clear, sharp images you expect from a Canon lens. This lens will brilliantly cover a host of monitoring challenges.
Exceptional Low Light Performance
The VB-C300's exceptional low-light performance can capture color video at up to 30fps at only 1 LUX (1/30 shutter speed)- with no reduction in frame rate. Moving subjects can be clearly seen with minimal noise in low light conditions. This greatly expands the usability of the camera in dark, difficult situations, such as outdoor night monitoring.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The 802.3af compliant PoE feature makes installation easier by allowing the use of a single ethernet cable to both power the camera, and to carry images back to the monitoring station.*
* Cable runs of more than 100m will likely require a repeater to provide power to the camera.
The PoE feature eliminates the need to run additional power to the camera, lowering installation costs. This is especially useful in installations at sites without easily accessible AC outlets, like a parking garage.
