Take a more detailed look into the Canon VB-S900F
Full HD resolution
The exceptionally compact VB-S900F Mini Fixed Box network security camera features Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution at 30fps. A CMOS sensor delivers impressive image quality without colour bleeding or blurred lines. Auto Smart Shade Control (SSC) optimises exposure to improve highlights and correct dark areas in back-lit scenes or low light conditions, offering a true Day/Night operation.
Outstanding Canon lens quality
The camera’s new ultra-compact wide-angle lens offers a 96° Angle of View. The wide angle and low distortion of the high quality F/1.6 Canon lens delivers more light to the camera’s sensor – achieving brighter and better-defined images.
Dual image processors
The dual image processors – DIGIC DV III and DIGIC NET II – enable seamless capturing, processing, encoding and transmitting of images. The internal programming has been re-engineered to deliver multiple H.264 and/or MJPEG streams in HD or lower resolutions. In addition to multi-streaming, the camera can also stream simultaneously. The H.264 encoder creates high-quality and high compression video, for smooth surveillance in a range of environments.
Easy to integrate
The camera integrates seamlessly thanks to its network camera SDK and HTTP protocol specification. Canon is a full member of ONVIF – the industry forum dedicated to the development of a global IP-based physical security interface standard. Compliance with the latest ONVIF V2.2 and Profile S makes it convenient to create a solution with ONVIF-complaint video management software.
Comprehensive on-board analytics
The VB-S900F offers an outstandingly rich set of intelligent features for such a compact device. These include Moving Object Detection, Abandoned Object Detection, Removed Object Detection, Camera Tampering Detection, Passing Detection and Volume Detection. Normally, changes in light conditions interrupt a camera’s analytics but the new Canon range automatically resets within 20 seconds of detecting a significant increase or decrease in brightness. This ensures minimal interruption to any running analytics.
Simple and flexible installation
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology with IEEE802.3af compliance allows the use of a single LAN cable to both power the camera and transfer video and audio data when connected to a PoE midspan or switch. PoE works for installations up to 100 meters whereas AC power supply gives flexibility of installation up to 500 meters.
