VB-H43 and VB-M42 Cameras

The new Canon VB-H43 and VB-M42 PTZ Cameras offer a 60.4 degree angle of view lens with strong 20x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom. Both models offer a new Relative Pan/Tilt Speed Mode function, which slows the pan/tilt speed as the zoom factor is increased in order to help ensure accurate surveillance by reducing the possibility that the camera operator may pan beyond a moving subject. A Recorded Video Utility feature enables users to record H.264 and M-JPEG images or video automatically to an SD, SDHC, or SDXC card during a network outage, or manually through a viewer. Videos can also be played back directly from the camera. The VB-H43 and VB-M42 Cameras can capture potentially crucial image detail in low-illumination environments down to 0.4 lux at f/1.6 and 1/30 sec. in color* and 0.02 lux at f/1.6 and 1/30 sec. in black & white.*

VB-H630VE, VB-M620VE, VB-H630D and VB-M620D Cameras

The new Canon VB-H630VE, VB-M620VE, VB-H630D and VB-M620D Fixed Dome Cameras feature an Enhanced PTR (pan/tilt/rotation) Mechanism design that helps reduce the likelihood that the point of view might shift due to vibrations or impacts. All of these models also offer Canon’s Remote Adjustment Function which allows installers to save time, labor and expense by using a password-protected Internet connection to remotely fine-tune a camera’s viewing area and focus settings whenever it’s required (an especially handy feature in multiple-camera installations). These cameras also feature a built-in Genuine Canon 112 degree wide-angle lens with 3x optical zoom for clear, high-quality images, and they can capture potentially crucial image detail in low-illumination environments down to 0.3 lux at f/1.2 and 1/30 sec. in color* and 0.015 lux at f/1.2 and 1/30 sec. in black & white.*

The VB-H630VE and VB-M620VE Vandal Resistant Fixed Dome Network Cameras have an ingress resistant rating of IP66 and are built with a polycarbonate resin capsule and a die-cast aluminum. Both models also have a built-in lens shock absorbing mechanism that allows the lens to retract up to 15mm inside the camera body – thus helping to prevent lens impairment when the dome is struck. These features all combine to allow for the camera to absorb heavy impacts, making them ideal for use in areas that may be subject to abuse such as correctional facilities, public transportation centers and schools.
