View Places That You Couldn't Even See Before

The BB-HCM581/HCM580 camera lets you monitor very large areas with its maximum 360o pan and 158o tilt functions. A full 42x power zoom also makes it possible to check places in super-fine detail. Thanks to its PoE*1 capability, the camera can be installed in places where it is difficult to provide power, like on factory and warehouse ceilings, or near a building entranceway or elevator hall. And dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 protocol prepares it for IPv6 services. This lets you grab every business possibility by breaking distance and time barriers with Zero Distance Management*2.

*1-1 PoE (Power over Ethernet) supplies power through an Ethernet cable. *1-2 Not supported by the BB-HCM580. *2 For details, see the bottom of this page.

Motion Detection Function

This function detects changes by reacting to a camera threshold or sensitivity that is set in advance on the PC. Captured images can also be stored temporarily in the camera*1 or sent to you by e-mail*2 or FTP data transfer*3.

*1 A maximum of approximately 350 images (320 x 240 pixels) can

be stored in the camera.

*2 PDP before SMTP

authentication and SMTP authentication (PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5) are supported.

*3 The sensor's detection history

can also be e-mailed to you once a day at a preset time.

SD Memory Card*4 Recording

A large number of images can be saved onto an SD Memory Card inserted into the camera. The images on the card can be checked over the Internet, or if no network is being used, monitoring is possible using only the camera by simply storing the images onto the card.

Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG

Cameras simultaneously send MPEG-4 images in three resolutions (VGA*6, QVGA, and SCIF), and

JPEG images in the same three resolutions in favour motion, standard, and favour clarity image-quality types. MPEG-4 is recommended for viewing smooth motion images, and JPEG is recommended for recording higher quality images.

*6 When viewing in VGA, only MPEG-4 playback offers a maximum of 30 fps. *7 For JPEG only. The audio feature does not work on cell phones.

MPEG-4 Visual License

When installing the MPEG-4 viewer program on additional PCs, please purchase additional licenses (Model No. BB-HCA5A for USA, BB-HCA5CE for others).

You can make use of your existing equipment.

Analogue Video Output*

By connecting a cable directly to the camera's video output terminal, you can use your existing TV or video recorder for monitoring. When using analogue video output, the camera automatically switches to interlace scanning*9 to suppress flicker in motion images.

*8-1 Compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems. *8-2 A mini video cable (with 3.5-mm mini plug) is required. *8-3 The camera cannot be controlled when using analogue video

output. The video image displays poorly in colour night view mode.

*9 Images are output to the PC with progressive scanning.

Connect

Image Transfer Function

In accordance with preset settings*10, the camera will automatically transfer images and a data log by e-mail to an e-mail*2 address or by FTP to a server. This allows you to check images only when necessary, and also prevents you from forgetting to check them.

*10 Preset settings can include timer, alarm, and motion

detection. With JPEG connection only.

Remote Pan/Tilt and Zoom Control

The camera angle can be varied by remote control to monitor large areas. Monitoring precision can be further increased by using the 42x zoom* (21x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom).

*11 The zoom function cannot be used from a cell phone.

Audio 2-Way Communication*

By using a separately purchased microphone and speaker, you can speak*13 to someone near the camera while monitoring. This gives you more precise communication to lessen the inconvenience of being in a distant location.

*12-1 The audio feature does not work with cell phones. *12-2 Not supported by the BB-HCM580. *13 Walkie-talkie type conversation.
