Chapter
Before Using the VB-C10/VB-C10R
This chapter contains information that you should read
before using the VB-C10/VB-C10R. It also describes the
features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R, the system configuration,
the hardware and software requirements, and the name and
functions of the system components.
Features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R
The VB-C10/VB-C10R is a system that distributes live videos via the Internet or an Intranet. It can
be used in a wide range of applications, such as distributing live videos from a Web site or
monitoring. The system is configured of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and viewer software. Please use
the supplied viewer software for viewing videos distributed by the VB-C10/VB-C10R and controlling
cameras.
Broadband Video Distribution Function
The VB-C10/VB-C10R is capable of capturing videos at up to 30 fps. Motion-JPEG is used to
compress video images. For networking, auto-negotiation between Ethernet 100Base-TX/
10Base-T is provided and a leased line or ADSL can also be used through a router. Since
video quality (in 5 levels) and the frame rate (from 0.1 to 30 fps) can be freely set, videos can
be distributed under conditions that best suit the network bandwidth.
Concurrent video is distributed up to 20 clients
Up to 20 clients can view video at the same time from a single VB-C10/VB-C10R.
Camera and video distribution server functions housed in a single unit
The camera capable of full pan, tilt, and zoom functions and its server functions for distributing
videos through a network are compactly housed in a single unit. By simply connecting a LAN
cable and a power supply, the unit can distribute live videos from any location* where it is
installed.
* The unit cannot be installed in locations subject to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or
other adverse conditions (→ P.ix).
High-performance 16x zoom and wide angle photographic range
The camera section is equipped with a 16x zoom lens. Furthermore, since the VB-C10 provides
a pan angle of 200 degrees (100 degrees each to the left and right) and a tilt angle of 120
degrees (90 degrees up and 30 degrees down), and the VB-C10R provides a pan angle of 340
degrees (170 degrees each to the left and right) and a tilt angle of 100 degrees (10 degrees up
and 90 degrees down), the VB-C10/VB-C10R are capable of recording wide areas.
Can be mounted on ceilings, etc. (VB-C10R)
The VB-C10R includes mounting plate, enabling it to be mounted in a variety of locations
including ceilings. The shape of the camera head has been designed so that pan and tilt
operations are still possible when mounted upside down.
Remote camera control from the viewer
The VB-C10/VB-C10R come with two types of viewer software: the Helper Viewer and the
Java Viewer. The viewers give you full remote control of the camera’s angle (pan and tilt) and
zoom magnification, allowing you to view videos with plenty of ambiance.
1-2
Features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R
Panorama picture creation functions and settings
The entire photographic range of the camera can be created and saved as a panorama picture.
The saved panorama pictures can then be easily used to visually set view restrictions and
presets.
Camera Position Preset function
If often-used camera angles (camera head aim and zoom position) and related items are saved
in advance as presets, the camera can be controlled from the viewer by simply selecting a
desired preset. Up to 8 presets can be stored.
View Restriction function
You can set restrictions on camera angle specifications and zoom magnifications to prevent
viewers from seeing certain camera angles. For example, if the VB-C10/VB-C10R is being
used to operate a fixed point camera connected to the Internet, it is possible to distribute
videos while protecting privacy (→ P.iii, “Request concerning disclosure of live videos”).
Built-in Web server and FTP server
The VB-C10/VB-C10R is equipped with built-in Web server functions that enable both Web
pages and videos to be distributed through the Web by a single unit. Since it also has a built-in
FTP server, Web page data file transfers (FTP) can be performed from remote locations.
Before Using the VB-C10/VB-C10R
Simple set up and management
By accessing a Settings page provided on the Web, you can use the Web browser on your PC
to set up and manage the VB-C10/VB-C10R from a remote location without ever visiting the
place where the VB-C10/VB-C10R is actually installed.
More powerful security functions
The destinations for video distributions can be restricted based on passwords. Up to 20 clients
can be registered.
Recording videos via preset schedules or links with external devices
Still pictures can be recorded based on schedules set in advance or on ON/OFF events from
an external device. If VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB-C10/VB-C10R can
be automatically collected by a PC and viewed there.

and the Java Viewer.
Helper Viewer must be installed in advance from the supplied CD-ROM, while Java Viewer is not
installed in advance but automatically downloaded from the VB-C10/VB-C10R. Since Java Viewer
is downloaded each time you want to view videos, it is useful when viewing videos for the first
time. Helper Viewer, however, is more convenient when you want to view videos frequently.
If you want to distribute live videos of places such as popular tourist destinations from Web pages,
it is best for your Web page visitors to use the Java Viewer that does not need to be installed in
advance.
Viewer Software Functions

• Videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R can be displayed by a Web browser that can
run Java applet.
• Because the Java Viewer is automatically downloaded and does not need to be pre-
Java Viewer
Helper Viewer
installed, unlike the Helper Viewer, it is compatible with any platform that supports
Java-capable environments.
• Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Java Viewer penetrates firewalls.
However, it may not run stably on some platforms or browser types.
Also, because the Viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up times and
execution speeds are slower than the Helper Viewer.
•A helper application for viewing videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R that is launched
from a Web browser.
• The Helper Viewer must be pre-installed.
• Install Helper Viewer from the supplied CD-ROM.
• Compared with the Java Viewer, start-up is faster because the Viewer does not need
to be downloaded. This Viewer is recommended for users who use the viewer frequently.
• Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the Helper Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.

a WARNING:
Install the camera securely.
● When installing the VB-C10R on the ceiling, contact your Canon dealer.
● When installing the VB-C10R on the ceiling, check that the ceiling is strong enough to
bear the weight of the VB-C10R including the mounting plate. Installation in a weak location
could result in the VB-C10R falling and causing serious injury.
● At least once a year, check for looseness in the camera installation mount. (If the optional
wide-angle converter is used, check the converter mount also.)
● The permissible camera installation angles are ±20° from the horizontal. (±15°
Note
when the optional wide-angle converter is used for the VB-C10.)
● The MAC address required when making network settings is shown on the bottom of
the VB-C10/VB-C10R (→ P.1-11). Please make a note of it before installing this unit
(→ P. 3-3).
Using a Tripod (VB-C10)

Before Using the VB-C10/VB-C10R
Using the Wide-angle Converter (VB-C10)
The optional Wide-angle Converter WL-37 can be used to provide wide-angle shots (approx.
0.74× the normal focal distance).
Mount the wide-angle converter correctly so that it is level and fitted securely onto the camera.
When mounted correctly, the wide-angle converter should turn roughly 3 times before stopping.
Wide-angle Converter
a WARNING:
The Wide-angle Converter WL-37 is designed specifically for the VB-C10 and cannot
be used on the VB-C10R. If the converter is used on the VB-C10R, the mount will gradually
loosen and the converter will fall off the camera.
● The camera may not operate correctly if a wide-angle converter other than the
Note
WL-37 is used.
● The permissible range of camera installation angles with the wide-angle converter
mounted on the camera is ±15° from the horizontal.
● When the Wide-angle Converter has been set for use in “Camera Settings” (→
P.3-11), the pan and tilt values change for the three functions listed below. If the
Wide-angle Converter is to be used, pan and tilt values must be determined after
the use of the Wide-angle Converter has been set in “Camera Settings”.
• Home position setting (→ P.3-12)
• View restrictions (→ P.3-12)
• Preset settings (→ P.3-15)
