February 26, 2007—Canon has expanded its line of Network Video Solutions products with the addition of the VB-C300 Wide-Angle Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) network camera, addressing the confined quarters and wiring limitations often faced by small businesses.
Offering the widest angle of view of any PTZ camera on the market, according to the company, the new feature-packed VB-C300 PTZ Camera, along with the introduction of Version 1.3 of Canon’s versatile VK-64 / VK-16 Network Video Recording Software, are the company’s latest innovations for security and video-monitoring professionals needing to capture high-quality video and deliver it via a LAN or the Internet.
Offering a wide 70 degrees horizontal angle of view, the VB-C300 PTZ Camera pans bi-directionally at +/- 170 degrees to deliver a total viewing angle that exceeds 360 degrees.
This feature makes the VB-C300 PTZ Camera well-suited to tight, indoor spaces, says Canon.
Full duplex, two-way audio support allows the VB-C300 PTZ Camera to both send and receive audio simultaneously, which enables security professionals monitoring its video to hear and speak to people appearing on-camera, while using a microphone.
