Network Camera Server VB101

Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External DeviceUsing the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External DeviceBy using the "External Device Input 1/2" setting and connecting devices such as sensors and switches tothe VB101, you can construct a monitoring system that operates in response to external changes. The stillimages captured in this way are recorded on a memory card inserted into the VB101.Sample application in combination with a door-opening sensor and lighting unitThis is a monitoring system in which the lighting unit needed to take pictures switches on when thedoor opens and the VC-C4R camera mounted on the ceiling captures still images. The equipmentshown in the figure below is connected to the terminals on the back of the VB101 at installation.Installation ExampleSample SettingsPhotography settings specified on the "Camera and Video" page (→ P.40)Specify the appropriate settings for the camera 1 being used.Photography settings specified on the "Preset" page (→ P.44)Set a camera angle that shoots the open doorway as preset 1.Sensor ALighting unitSensor BVC-C4RCamera controland video imagesPowersupplyunitLighting unitON/OFFDoor opening signalEthernetWhen the door opens andSensor B moves away fromsensor A, connection inputIn1 generates an ON event.In response to this event,Out1 is controlled to switchon the lighting unit andimages of the entrance arecaptured and recorded bythe camera.Photography settings specified in "External Device Input 1/2" (→ P.45)● Set the photography operation time from 17:00 to 6:00.● Give priority to "Recording triggered by external device".● Set the camera position for shooting to preset 1.● Set the light to switch on when the door opens and to switch off 20 seconds after the door closes.● Begin recording pictures 4 seconds before the door opens. The light is not switched on at that point.● Continue to record pictures for 8 seconds after the door closes.● Record pictures at 10-second intervals while the door is open.● Delete the recorded pictures at 12:00 on the next day. In this case, delete the pictures recorded in themorning at 12:00 on the next day, and delete the pictures recorded in the afternoon at 12:00 two days later.5VB101VB101 Connection ExampleDc In1 2 1 2InOutSlot-BSlot-ARS-232CcableEthernet100/10BTCC1CameraRS232CVideo cable(RCA)Video InCC2 V1 V2 V3 V4Connector Attached CableIn1 Sensors mounted on the doorOut1 Lighting unit via the power supply unitV1 Video cable for the VC-C4R cameraCC1 Control cable for the VC-C4R cameraUsing the Picture Recording FunctionSensor Relayinput outputLANcableEthernetcNoteDo not directly connect the power cord for thelighting unit to OUT1 or OUT2.80 81
