Gives you comfortable, vesatile monitoring

Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG

Cameras simultaneously send MPEG-4 images in three resolutions (VGA*1, QVGA, and SCIF), and JPEG images in the same three*2 resolutions in favor motion, standard, and favor clarity image-quality types. MPEG-4 is recommennded for viewing smooth motion images, and JPEG is recommended for recording higher quality images.

*1: When viewing in VGA, only MPEG-4 playback offers a maximum of 30 fps.

*2: The BB-HCM515 enables four types, including SXGA.

*3: For JPEG only. The audio feature does not work on cell phone.

Minimal blurring wih fast motion

Progressive scan

Progressive scanning eliminates the blurring that often occurs with interlaced scanning, to produce a hight quality images.

Monitor several ares simultaneously

Multi-camera capability*1

Check the images from four camera at a time, for a total 16 cameras*2, and converse with one camera site*3. Monitor 16 cameras in all, and display them all at once [with no audio]. Use a recording program to save images and audio to a PC hard disk.

*1-1: To use this function, one of the cameras must be registered with the addresses of all cameras in advance. The 640 x480 resolution cannot be used with the multi-screen display.

*1-2: Switching from the moving image mode to the still image mode reduces the load on the network. The still image mode is recommended when the internet connection speed is 100kbps or lower [guideline speed].

*2: Twelve cameras for the BL-C20/C1.

*3: Only in models with audio functions.

Thorough checking on large screen

Full-screen display

The system supports the full-screen display of monitor images. Even the smallest details can easily be monitored on this impressively large display screen.

*1-1: VGA size cannot be displayed when viewing images from multiple cameras.

*1-2: When viewing in VGA, only MPEG-4 playback offers a maximum of 30 fps.

Improved accuracy through a time stamp function

Time stamp function

The date and time are displayed on all monitored still or moving images. This ensures that even whe video is recorded for later viewing, the exact time of the recording will always be in view. This feature is also very useful for marketing research and security checks.

Using directly - without the internet

Analog Video Output*1

By connecting a cable directly to the camera's video output terminal, you can use your existing TV ot video recorder for monitoring. When using analog video output, the camera automatically swithes to interlace scanning*2 to suppress flicker in motion images.

*1-1: Compatible with both NTSC and PAL system.

*1-2: A mini video cable (with 3.5-mm mini plug) is required. (All BB-HCM5 series except BB-HCM581)

*1-3: Audio/video cable included with the BB-HCM581.

*1-4: The camera cannot be controlled with analog video output.

*1-5: The video images displays poorly in Color Night mode.
