VB-C500VD IP SECURITY CAMERA

Vandal Resistant
Mini Dome Camera

Canon’s VB-C500VD is a fixed indoor IP security camera

encased in a vandal resistant housing made of strong

polycarbonate plastics (cover), tough alloyed aluminum

(body), heat-resistant polycarbonate and ABS mixture

(base), and secured with tamper-proof screws. Inside the

housing, the camera is mounted on a Multi-Directional

Shock Absorber, a four-spring mechanism designed to

protect the camera by lessening the effects of impacts

from various angles. If the dome is subjected to a blunt force,

the four suspension springs shift the lens’ moveable base in the

direction of the momentum to catch and displace the force of impact.

The VB-C500VD camera features an 82° wide angle Canon lens with 2.4x

optical zoom, a high-sensitivity progressive-scan CCD and exceptional low

light performance. This camera also features Canon’s powerful NET

processor which enables the camera to simultaneously stream M-JPEG and MPEG-4

video encoding and transmission in high-quality VGA (640 x 480) resolution at a full

30 frames per second.
