26X Zoom
Low Light Performance
Don’t lose sight of anything — even in low light, or complete darkness.
With the Minimum Subject Illumination feature of the VC-C50i and VC-
C50iR, you can still see what’s happening even when light gets as low
as 1 Lux (at 1/30 second shutter speed). Not only that, but when the
lights go out completely, these camera’s built-in infrared (IR) illuminator
lets you continue to monitor the action (effective up to 9.8 feet).
Wide Angle View...Or Zoom In
The VC-C50i and VC-C50iR come with a high quality 42° Lens with an
outstanding 26X Optical Zoom and 12X Digital Zoom capability. With this
combination users will get a wide-angle view that shows large areas
with the ability to zoom in and get immediate close-up views. When it
comes to security camera zoom lenses, the VC-C50i and VC-C50iR offer
great performance in a compact and lightweight body.
Wide Pan And Tilt Ranges
The VC-C50i lets you see exactly what you need to by panning through
a broad reach of 200° or tilting through 120°. The ceiling-mounted,
reverse model VC-C50iR also lets you tilt 120°, and in addition it lets
you pan a remarkable 340°. There’s no hiding from these cameras!
