Cleaning of Exterior
1. Dampen a soft cloth with water or diluted neutral detergent and wipe the soiled areas
gently.
2. Wipe with a dry cloth.
Cleaning of Lens
Use a commercial lens cleaner to remove soiling on the lens surface.
Auto focus may not work properly if the lens surface is dusty or dirty.
Scratches on the lens surface may result in undesirable images.
Maintenance for Indoor Dome Housing (Optional)
A soiled dome case is a cause of poor image quality, so clean the dome periodically.
1. Remove the dome by referring to steps 9 and 10 (P. 2-24) of the dome housing
installation procedure.
2. Dampen a soft cloth with water or diluted neutral detergent and wipe the soiled areas

software, operating environment, and name and function of each
part.

Features of VB-C60
The VB-C60 is a compact network camera integrating camera and server features.
Optical 40x Zoom Lens with Auto Focus and Pan and Tilt
functions
Equipped with a lens with optical 40x zoom (digital 4x), VB-C60 achieves video monitoring in
wide-ranging applications including in indoor locations such as stores and offices, as well as
in outdoor areas such as parking lots and plant facilities. Also, the auto focus function and the
pan and tilt functions that let you move the camera in left/right and up/down directions allow
for easy adjustment of viewing angle at the time of installation. These functions are also
convenient when the camera is operated remotely to monitor the condition.
High Quality Video of Moving Subjects
The VB-C60 utilizes a progressive-scan CCD to allow for the capture of noise-less, high
quality video of moving subjects.
Capturing Color Images at 0.7 lux and Day/Night Automatic
Switching
The camera can capture color images at the minimum subject illumination of 0.7 lux (1/30
sec.) Also, the day/night automatic switching function* ("Day/Night" in Operation Guide)
automatically switches the camera between the color mode during daytime when sufficient
light is available and the black & white mode during nighttime when it is dark, in order to
support video monitoring in locations where illumination changes.
* Before enabling day/night automatic switching, thoroughly check the operation.
Simultaneous Distribution of JPEG and MPEG-4
Video compression adopts JPEG/MPEG-4 to achieve high image quality/high frame rate of up
to 30 frames per second*1in VGA (640 x480). Up to 30 clients*2can view the same video
simultaneously.
*1 Note that the frame rate may drop depending on the performance of the viewer PC, number of clients
connected at the same time, network load, etc.
*2 In MPEG-4, up to 10 clients can be connected at the same time.
Multi-Streaming
In JPEG, image can be distributed in three sizes (640 x480, 320 x240, 160 x120) at the
same time.
Smart Shade Control
When the background is bright and the subject is difficult to see, you can change the contrast
of dark areas to make the subject clearer. Unlike the backlight compensation, blown out of the
background can be prevented because bright areas are not controlled. These processes are
implemented by the dedicated hardware in the camera, so drops in image quality can be
reduced and system load can be decreased compared to when the conventional shade
control is used. See "Setting the Smart Shade Control" (Operation Guide).

Before Use
Image Stabilizer
This function compensates for shaking of image due to vibration when the camera is installed
on the ceiling, on a pole, etc. See "Camera Control" (Operation Guide).
* It does not work against significant vibration exceeding a certain level or momentary vibration. When
Image Stabilizer is used, the image quality drops and the viewing angle becomes smaller.
Install-Free VB-C60 Viewer
This camera has a built-in VB-C60 Viewer, so its data can be viewed using a browser.
Accordingly, there is no need to install a PC application. Also, three levels of user privileges
can be set, including [Administrator], [Authorized Users] and [Guest Users].
Selectable Metering Modes for Various Shooting Conditions
Images can be captured by switching the metering mode* to one of three options, including
[Center-weighted], [Average] and [Spot], according to the shooting condition of the camera.
See "Setting Exposure" (Operation Guide).
* Brightness (light quantity) of the subject is measured to adjust the exposure.
Upload and Sound Playback by Motion Detection Function
Change in video caused by movement of the subject is detected to upload the image and
play sound.
Upload, E-mail Notification
Events generated by the motion detection function or an external input device are used as
triggers to upload images temporarily recorded in the camera to the specified location via
FTP/HTTP/SMTP (e-mail), or for a notification to be sent via HTTP/SMTP (e-mail).
Panorama Image Creation
The entire shooting range of the camera can be captured as a panorama image, which can
then be registered in the camera and displayed on the viewer for visual camera control,
preset setting, etc.
Two-Way Audio (Full Duplex)
A microphone or speaker with amplifier can be connected*1to the camera to transmit/receive
audio (full duplex) via the viewer*2. You can select a desired audio input mode from LINE IN
and MIC IN by switching the setting on the Setting Page (P. 3-7).
*1 Microphones and amplifiers are sold separately.
*2 VK-Lite Viewer is the only viewer that supports two-way audio communication.
VB-C60 Viewer only supports audio reception.

Features of VB-C60
Supporting Upright and On-the-ceiling Installation
You can install the camera in a stationary state (upright) on a table or on a ceiling* (on the
ceiling) by changing the settings ("Installation Conditions" in Operation Guide).
* The camera cannot be installed in locations exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity,
etc. (P. x i i i ) .
When installing the camera on a ceiling, use the optional indoor dome housing or ceiling mount cover
(P. 1-22).
PoE
The VB-C60 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE*) technology, which enables simultaneous
video/audio data transmission and power supply by simply connecting a PoE HUB and a
single LAN cable (P. 2-6). When connecting to a PoE HUB, you need not connect a power
adapter to the camera or perform any power wiring.
* PoE stands for Power over Ethernet. The camera is compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard set by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
Supporting Diverse Installation Applications
You can use the optional indoor dome housing or ceiling mount cover when installing the
camera on a ceiling (P. 1-22). The dome is available in two types: the smoke type that
conceals the camera, and the clear type that protects the camera from dust, etc., while
keeping the camera conspicuous.
Small-scale Video Monitoring by Simplified Recording Software
VK-Lite
This product comes with a simplified version VK-Lite of the optional Network Video
Recorder VK-64/VK-16 v2.2 (P. 1-7). Video captured by up to four cameras can be
recorded/displayed in real time, to achieve small-scale video monitoring.
