■Simple set up and management
By accessing a Setup Management page provided on the Web, you can use the Web browser on
your PC to set up and manage the system from a remote location without ever visiting the place
where the system is actually installed. You can also use the special setup program provided to
specify the initial IP address. IP addresses can be automatically specified in network
environments where Bootp can be used.
■Log functions
You can use the logging functions to save log information on events such as faults and access
statuses to a file and then send that information to a specific e-mail address.
■Built-in Web server and FTP server
As well as transmitting video images, the VB101 also features built-in Web server functions for
Web pages. By making Web page data to an optional flash memory card, the VB101 can be
also used to transmit data and video images across the Web. Moreover, because the VB101
has a built-in FTP server, it is also possible to download Web pages remotely.
■Fully expandable
The VB101 is provided with 2 card slots which you can use to add a modem, or a flash memory
as required.
■Concurrent video is distributed up to 20 clients
Up to 20 clients can view video at the same time from a single VB101. Also, the number of
concurrent accesses can be specified on the camera server to suit the available network
bandwidth.
■Camera control rights to coordinate camera control contention
The introduction of control rights means that contention can be prevented when multiple video
receivers are controlling the camera at the same time. The default time for which clients receiving
images have exclusive control of the camera is 20 seconds in the initial factory settings. (This
setting can be changed from the server.)
■More powerful security functions
The destinations for video transmissions can be restricted based on IP addresses and passwords.
■Picture recording function using schedule management and coop-
eration with external devices
The VB101 is provided with picture recording and digital output functions controlled by preset
schedules, along with on/off functions that are triggered by digital input from connected devices.
These features expand the range of system applications still further.
Features of the VB101
The VB101 digitalizes images captured from a video camera, allowing easy distribution of these images
over the Internet or an intranet. The person receiving the images can use the Canon WebView Livescope
software (Java version viewer and Helper version viewer) to view the images. If a Canon Communication
camera is used, a wide range of additional functions are also available, including remote camera control
and using a Web page for everything from transmitting video information to video image monitoring.
Furthermore, by using this system together with the optional* WebView Livescope MV monitoring viewer, you
can conduct remote monitoring from multiple locations. For more information on how to use the WebView
viewer software and the WebView Livescope MV software, refer to the respective software manuals.
*VB-101 can also be used in VIEW-Windows.
*VIEW-Windows is a product designed for use within Japan.
■High-quality images with a high frame rate
The VB101 is capable of image capture at speed of up to 30 fps. Image compression is performed
using Motion-JPEG. Because the sender can control the image quality and capture rate, the
settings can be optimized for the network environment. The image quality can be set on a scale
from 1 to 99, and the capture rate can be set to speeds between 0.1 and 30 fps.
■Up to 4 cameras connected
Up to 4 video cameras can be connected to the VB101 and up to two cameras can be selected for
camera control. Cameras can be switched by the viewer and the images from the selected
camera are displayed. Two RCA sockets are provided as the input interface for video cameras
and 2 BNC sockets are provided for cameras commonly used for monitoring. The user can
specify which camera connected to which socket is to be controlled.
■Versatile camera control
If a Canon Communication camera is used, the client can control the angle (pan and tilt) and the
zoom ratio of cameras installed in remote locations just as if he or she was actually there. The
client can also impose operating limits by specifying camera angles that are not to be shown and
restricting the available zoom settings.
■Preset function for camera positions
By registering camera angles specified beforehand, the user can display a scene requested by a
client simply by selecting the specified preset information.
■NewVC-C4/VC-C4R Cameras supported
The VB101 can be used with the latest Canon Communication Camera VC-C4/
VC-C4R (support for reverse suspended installation). This allows the user to
control VC-C4/VC-C4R cameras, which provide improved performance and
functionality, including reverse suspended installation and a larger control
range than the VC-C3 and VC-C1 MK II.
■Internet/intranet compatibility
The VB101 software is compatible with TCP/IP and HTTP, the standard Internet protocols, allowing
video image transmission and remote camera control to be performed easily from a Web browser.
The Ethernet interface supports 10 Mbps/100 Mbps autosensing (or auto detection), and a PC card
modem can be used to access public switched telephone networks.

■Viewer software types and functions
A Web browser that can run Java applets and displays video images from the VB101.
Because the Java Viewer is automatically downloaded and does not need to be pre-installed, unlike
their helper viewer, it is compatible with any platform that supports Java-capable environments.
Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Java Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.
However, it may not run stably on some platforms or browser types.
Also, because the viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up times and
execution speeds are slower than the helper viewer.
A helper application for viewing video images from the VB101 that is launched from a Web browser.
The helper viewer must be pre-installed.
This application can be downloaded free of charge from the CD-ROM provided, or the following Web page.
URL: http://www.x-zone.canon.co.jp/WebView-E/download/dload.htm
Compared with the Java Viewer, start-up is faster because the viewer does not need to be
downloaded. This viewer is recommended for users who use the viewer frequently.
Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the helper Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.

Example ofWebview Livescope MV System Configuration
System Configuration
Webview Livescope is a system, which webcasts live video images shot using a Canon Communication
Camera (VC-C4, etc) installed in a remote location to computers connected to the Internet or an intranet.
Clients can view the received video images simply using a Web browser. And because clients can control
the cameras remotely from their Web browser via the network, Webview Livescope provides realtime
images with a true feeling of immediacy.
Images from the VB101 are viewed on a special viewer. Embedding this viewer in a web page greatly expands
the possibilities of the Internet or intranets, including such functions as monitoring of remote locations using a
Web browser and the creation of striking Web pages, thereby building networks that a more useful to business.
Video image receiver
Viewer (free of charge)
This refers to the computer that runs a Viewer module used to view
images transmitted from the VB101 on a Web browser. The two types of
viewer module are described in the table below.
Example of Webview Livescope System Configuration
WebView Livescope MV provides administration tools and a multi-viewer for an easy-to-use centralized
monitoring environment that uses multiple VB101 network cameras.
Users can easily create their own monitoring screens from more than 60 screen patterns-almost without
needing to refer to the manual, which in turn reduces the time it takes to create a Web page- just by
answering Create Screen Wizard questions. A maximum of 16 locations can be displayed simultaneously on
a monitoring screen and users can also use the Map function, Auto switch function and Auto drive function.
In addition, you can compile a list of multiple VB101 cameras to control camera settings, perform version
control and control operation status.

●To use a Web browser as an FTP client:
Insert "user name: password@" before the IP address, as in "ftp://

system administrator (→ P.36). The VB101 does not support anonymous
FTP.
●Use only flash memory cards recommended by Canon.
Using a PCMCIA Card
The VB101 has 2 card slots, and you can record Web page data, etc. by inserting a flash memory card into
one of these slots.
Insert the flash memory

Create the directories.
Create directories called "htdocs" and "logs", for web page data (hereafter referred to
as content) and log data respectively, on the flash memory card. You can create the
directories using ftp commands or by inserting the flash memory card into a notebook
PC and using file operations.
Save the content.
You can save the content to the flash memory card using either file operations on a
notebook PC or remotely using FTP. When a flash memory card is inserted correctly, it
is mounted in the VB101 file system as a directory called "/card". The content data is
stored as files in the /card/htdocs directory (file names made up of eight alphanumeric
characters followed by a three-character extension). Data can also be stored in the
flash memory built into the VB101. However, due to the limited available space (550
kilobytes), only the minimum required amount of data can be stored.
slots, you cannot use both cards at the same time. Preparation is complete when the
LED on the front of the VB101 changes from green to orange.
Procedure for Using Flash Memory Cards
Connecting the Components
c
Notes
●The cable connecting the VB101 and the camera should be no longer than
15 meters (49 ft. 2 19/32 in.), as stipulated in the RS-232C standards. If the cable
length exceeds 15 meters (49 ft. 2 19/32 in.), system operation is no longer
guaranteed.
●The video cable supplied with the Canon Communication Camera VC-C4/
VC-C4R, VC-C3 and VC-C1 MK II is compatible with the RCA pin-jack. To
connect these cameras to a BNC socket, use a third party Pin →BNC
conversion adapter. (→P.19)
●To connect a RS-232C cable to the VC-C4/VC-C4R, use the IN socket.
●Though daisy-chain connections are possible under the VC-C4/VC-C4R
specifications, only one camera can be connected to each socket since a
VB101 does not support daisy-chain connections.
