In addition to Canon's WebView network camera protocol, the VB-H610VE is easily adaptable to third party integration thanks to being ONVIF version 2.2 conformant. The Profile S standard included in this compatibility gives you more interoperability than found in previous network cameras. You will find it easier than ever to create a system which best meets your needs, working with compliant equipment from different manufacturers and third party recording software systems. The ONVIF Profile S allows for easy identification of supported features without the need to know the compatibility of different versions of ONVIF. Profile S includes specific features such as audio streaming and relay outputs.

Even the most challenging and difficult installation locations become far more manageable with the Remote Adjustment Function of the Canon VB-H610D. After the camera is mounted, it's simple to get the exact lens position for your needs thanks to built-in motors that allow you to change the pan, tilt, rotation, zoom, and focus from the comfort of a remote location after the camera is installed.

The VB-H610VE is packed with features which enhance its functionality and usability. Among the most useful are its sophisticated On-board Video Analytics, enabling the camera to detect Moving, Abandoned, or Removed Objects in its range of vision, and also detect attempts at Camera Tampering and changes in Sound Levels. In addition, Passing Detection has been added to the list to enhance the monitoring capabilities of the VB-H610VE. It allows you to trigger an alert when a set line has been passed in a defined direction.

For increased control in monitoring sensitive areas, the VB-H610VE also offers a Privacy Mask function. With it, you can block specific sections of the camera's field of view, to avoid intrusions of privacy, or password theft.

Thanks to the VB-H610VE's impressive algorithm, highly precise detection is achieved using polygonal and rectangular shapes to specify up to 15 areas of detection. Adding polygonal to rectangular shapes allows for increased flexibility in detection areas. An additional benefit comes from the provision for notification of a detection through the network from the camera using a number of functions. They include automatic recording, e-mail transmission, and uploading videos and images to a specified target server. It is also possible to combine a number of detection functions for simultaneous notification.

The high-quality images captured by the VB-H610VE are due in no small part to Canon's proprietary processing technologies. One is the latest version of our hardware-based compression engine, DIGIC NET II. This powerful processor allows the VB-H610VE to simultaneously deliver both H.264 and JPEG video in high resolution 1920 x 1080 at the maximum frame rate of 30fps – with no loss in frame rate, unlike many competing models. The other is Canon's powerful image DIGIC DV III processor. As employed in our class-leading video camcorders and unlike most security cameras, DIGIC DV III provides superior image quality with lifelike colors, tonal accuracy and reduced image noise - all with lower power consumption.

Smart Shade Control, or SSC, is an exclusive Canon technology that automatically adjusts images which may have a bright background by adjusting the gain of the underexposed areas without affecting the exposure of the properly exposed areas. This feature helps to make backlit images easier to see and vital areas of interest easier to monitor.

As the available light changes, the Auto Day/Night feature allows this camera to automatically adjust to maintain optimal image quality. A removable IR cut filter and optimized IR light reflection suppression coating allow for exceptional low light visibility with minimal ghosting.

The VB-H610D continues to demonstrate versatility by accepting a variety of power options. Choose between 12vDC, 24vAC or PoE. Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) - allows the use of a single LAN cable to both power the camera and transfer video and audio data when connected to a Power over Ethernet switch or PoE injector. This eliminates the need to run AC connections to the installation sites of the cameras, which can help to keep installation costs to a minimum.

With the VB-H610VE, you can have two-way mono audio communication between the remote monitoring center and the surveillance location. The Mic/Line In, Line Out jack offers echo cancellation. This feature allows the camera to serve as an even more powerful component of your security infrastructure.

The VB-H610VE has a built-in SD Memory Card slot which supports SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. It allows streamed images from the camera to be saved to an SD card, giving reliable backup in the event of network power failures or outages. In addition, when issues occur, system logs are also created and stored on the SD card for future troubleshooting.

An administrative tool, Recorded Video Tool allows you to search, download and view the recorded video.

Canon's proprietary recording software is included at no cost with the purchase of the VB-H610VE. A limited function version of the RM-9/25/64 recording software, which is available for purchase, RM-Lite 2.0 allows for the monitoring of JPEG and H.264 video and the recording and playback of the JPEG video from up to four cameras. This complimentary software is well suited for small systems and eliminates the need to purchase software separately.
